Midterm week 6

We had short week. We had Thursday and Friday days off, I am so happy because it means I can leave on Wednesday night to go home and it was perfect timing. Although it was nerve wrecking with midterm. I did not get any sleep on Monday night because I want to take and get over with my exam. I did pretty good and better than bakeshop midterm so I left the kitchen with little proud. I had few issues with my exam like my puree potatoes soup was little grainy and my Espagnole sauce could have been thicken little more. I misunderstood with boiling broccoli, I did not mean to blanch them. I made few mistakes which I learn and I would not let it happen again. I did not take a lot of pictures of stuff I made for my midterm. I think I forgot and few people took my stuff to mix with others before it was too late during cleaning up, but I described the taste, plating, and impressions of recipes on my journal day 1. On Tuesday, we learned to stir fry and it was really good. Especially with rice pilaf and it gave nice flavor. and Wednesday, we practiced some knife cuts, we made beurre blanc which it turned really good. I made risotto and funny thing that I did not make any risotto on my exam, I was so afraid to make it so I could not focus on it. On Wednesday, I was like wait, I can do this for real and why did I freak out on midterm. We made french fries and deep them which they were very good, but sadly, I only had few pieces. My favorite part of this week would be stir fry and it was very good. It surprised me because I am not fan of spicy stir fry, but it was not spicy at all. I quite enjoyed it. Here are my journals for this week:
