Wow…..I can’t believe that lab is over. I was so nervous about the final and to my surprise it wasn’t so bad. I was very happy with what I presented. That is, except the crunchy rice. HAHA =] I kinda wanted fish, but the chicken situation didn’t go as bad as I thought it would. [...]
Wow! Time has come and gone in this class. I can’t believe it’s almost over. After the team practical, I think I am half way ready for my final. I can’t wait, but I’m kinda scared and nervous. I hope I get fish because I felt comfortable with the trout. That is, except for tweezing [...]
Although I do not eat a lot of red meat, I did enjoy most of the dishes we produced. The hanger steaks that we did on the grill we my favorite. I didn’t like that burgers as much. Mine was still raw in the middle when I took it off the first time. I think [...]
Overall, I think that this lab was good with the exception of the fire drill. IT WAS COLD!!!! My favorite soup that we made was the corn chowder. I thought it was delicious and hearty! I also liked the mushroom one as well. I didn’t try the split pea because I usually don’t like it [...]
I thought that the round fish was better than the flat fish. To me, it tasted very different. I thought that it was easier to fillet the flat fish, but maybe because it was already scaled and gutted. Anyway, I thought that it was pretty cool how you could peel the skin off and you [...]
I thought that cooking the fish was really exciting. I must say that I had never fabricated a fish before, I always had my dad do it. We go camping in the summer and go fishing off of our boat. In lab, I was the only person that said they fished, it was embarrassing! On [...]
I thought that this week of chicken was easier than last week; however, I liked the dry cooking methods better than the moist cooking methods. Don’t get me wrong, there were things this week that I did like and enjoy. I didn’t like the poaching method. I think that when you poach chicken it [...]
The first week of chicken went rather well, i think. I never had to take apart a chicken before, but it was pretty cool. I can’t believe that I cut the wing off at the wrong joint… Oops! Oh well, I will get another shot at it. I really liked the marinade that my partner [...]
Okay, I am happy that the tourne situation is over. hahah. I got myself all worried about the test, but it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. I thought that the hardest part was peeling the squash-it’s tough! Oh, the experiment with the bases and acid was cool. I didn’t know that [...]
I loved the pasta, but my stomach didn’t quite like the pasta sauce. It was very good; I just have really bad acid reflux. On a different note, there were many things that I learned about pasta and grains that I didn’t know before. PASTA: Lab was the first time that I ever made homemade [...]
