Wow. I'm drastically more tired than usual today. Why, you ask? Well, because I didn't sleep last night. I slept fitfully in the car on the way back to school for 3 hours, but it isn't helping me much today. Despite the obvious, I did manage to make it through kitchens this morning.
Today we all branched out and made different recipes, all cooked by braising. One table made kielbasi and sauerkraut with a beer flavor; another made ratatouille, no not the movie; my table made braised red cabbage, which was fantastic, if I do say so myself. and the last table made carrots with cumin and orange juice. We got to taste everything. it was really good! Braising is slow,moist cooking but its not just for meats--today we braised mostly veggies. We also practiced for our practical exam on broccoli, chef said mine was perfect! So I feel pretty confident.
In strategies we had a guest lecture on rape prevention and such...that was awkward, but necessary I guess.
In sanitation we went over chapter 9 which encompasses cooking temperatures of all raw foods.
And then I studied for my sanitation test on Thursday. And now I'm crashing because I have been up for a long time.
