Monday went well. To my recollection, all of the food went out on time and the Halloween ideas were really cute. The carved, stuffed peppers and the mice meatloaves turned out well. I had the goat cheese cauliflower for lunch and it was delicious! The only thing that didn't go well was the fact that the food took longer than normal to finish the food so we didn't have time to clean. I learned how to carve jack-o-lantern faces into peppers and how to make vegetarian stuffing for them. In order to improve for next class I could work on identifying when it is necessary to pick up the pace.
Wednesday also went pretty well. We did not work off of recipes--which is somewhat easier for me because I don't double check everything a hundred times to make sure it is as close as possible. We also got finished with all the food early enough to clean most of the mess we made. What didn't go well was the preparation of the blackened cajun catfish. I have never blackend anything before so I was scared of the fire; and Fran yelled at me for not doing it right (which pissed me off). Once he actually showed me the proper technique for laying the fish in the pan I learned how to do it correctly without making a big flame. For next class I could just practice the proper techniques for things we do.
