school is almost done for the semester. 

i need this. 

i can't spend 40 hours a week at school. it's making it hard to keep up with blogging! but here is what i have done as my first semester of culinary school approaches it's end.

morgan and i named a bunch of chickens. i believe these two were reba and clarence. we had others like- kj, chef al, and tony danza. :)

 went slightly nutso with the deep fryer. french fries and fried zucchini, carrots, onions, and chicken. all in the same day. whoops.

morgan helped me fulfill one of my dreams. trying fried pickles. and they were AMAZING. recipe you ask?

kosher pickles. coat them in flour, buttermilk (or milk), and cornmeal (or bread crumbs.) coat in that order and fry 'em up!

working many night's at the student ran, fine dining restaurant- Restaurant Forte. I was the Maitre 'd. and thee BEST part of working there is family meal at the end. 

this is quality food. 6 courses, 20 bucks a plate? it's good i promise.

this was just on american regional night. Gumbo, Scallops, Oyster's, and something else i don't know is featured here. 

and for dessert? classic raspberry cheesecake, 3 different flavored fruit tarts, and chocolate cake. (best i've ever had.)

and all i have left is a couple of catering events and then my two, 10 hour long practicals! i'm totes excited.
