Fuck yeah. Yes; I just said "Fuck Yeah" after my cusine exam. Why? Because I kicked ass. No reason more than that. Of all the dishes to get, I got the one that I was the most comfortable with...how the hell did the chefs let that happen? I mean, they should have seen that I got the pork tenderloin with sweet and sour beer sauce...

One exam down, one to go.
Today's exam wasn't too bad, minus the fact that I drew the one recipe that I wasn't 100% sure how to do. I figured it out though, but I blew the written portion, but that's ok because it's only worth 10% of the exam, and I probally didn't blow it that bad.
Now the question at hand is what...

After a great weekend doing all the things that I can really only do in NH, like buying a nice new bike without paying sales tax 
, seeing my beautiful girlfriend and my super-awesome dog, and all that great stuff like that; I'm now back in Ottawa. At least I took the kitten back with me this time, even if he did make the ride...

And it's wendsday!
Lets see what needed to be accomplished today:
1) Get grocerys to make some food so I don't have to keep ordering from Lorenzo's
2) Go to my Cusine Practical and make the Guinea Foul
3) Go to a demo after the practical and take notes on how to make something else that I'm sure isn't very good
So, as of 10:53AM,...

You still owe me ten bucks 
10 more days!
3 'till I can go home for the weekend!
Today was the antithesis of yesterday...I kicked fucking ass in Pastry. We made a cake called the "Saint-Honore" it's a Pate Brisee base, with Choux pastry piped in a ring on top of that, with a bit of choux in the middle. Then you make little Choux pastries, fill them with a fancy...

Another day down, woo hoo! The pork was good, I chose to eat it and the potatos sans the fat sauce (which wasn't all that good anyway- I don't like beer) Chef Benoit ripped everything apart though...veg was slightly overcooked, the potatos shouldn't have had pepper on them, the pork was cooked too (perfectly, IMO) well, and the sauce didn't have enough vinegar in it....

Another day, another delcious dish that I really shouldn't eat. Today is Pork Tenderloin sauteed served with Potatoes A'langlaise and Juillienned Carrot, Leek, and Turnip. Oh yeah, and to top it all off, it's served with a Sweet and Sour Beer Sauce . Sooooo good. But, as French Cusine is all about being low calorie....it's LOADED with butter...there must be at least 100g of butter...

I want some. 
Five more days until I can escape Ottawa for the last weekend...that...I need...to escape...\r\nThat made no sense, probally because I\'ve been drinking since 2 this afternoon...\r\nHere we go again-\r\nNext weekend would be my last weekend in Ottawa, but I\'m taking the weekend at home. The friday following that, I\'m leaving ottawa for good. Fuck yeah.
