So this weeks class dealt with rice and eggplant. After having the recipes before class and kind of understanding what was going on, this weeks class seemed to go much better. I even mentioned to Chef that I was angry after I got home last week and he seemed to understand where I was coming from.
So after we started getting our recipes together(and I would gladly trade a person in my group), we started things off being much more organized. My group was responsible for the paella, and although one pan was not good, and one pan(mine) was close, the paellas was very good. This dish built upon some that we learned in foundations. There are people in this class that have had other classes that would help them with this lab. I have had nothing but foundations and I feel that I am a leader in my group. Whether I have had other classes or not, my take on this is to understand the recipees that we are given and then to kick some ass. I mean, when someone in my group doesn't know how to dice an onion, I think we have problems. I do that all day long at work. I think I can dice with the best of them!!
The dish that James and I cooked turned out well. We maybe didn't get the soccaret on the bottom, and I will need to practice that, but it was better than the burnt part on the other half of my group.
This is post number 2 for this class. Can't wait for post 3.
