November 10-13 week 5

For this past week, we have been learning how to make some soups, some lie chicken pot pie. I learned how to use Mandoline slicer to cut potatoes to make graufrette and it is fun to do it. They are pretty tasty after deep fry. My favorite part about this week is smashed potatoes and it was awesome because I actually did something by myself and it was really tasty. It was funny that my partner Alissa and I forgot to add truffle oil for a minute and we were trying to figure it out why it is missing something. As I walk by the table and I saw that I did not get truffle oil. It was great after we added, we were like holy cow that is so much better and did not realize how much difference it makes. We practiced our knife cuts this week too. I went to Nicholas show and it was ACF meeting on Monday with few of classmates. It was interesting and cool. We got to see a guy fillet cut a fish like huge fish, I believe he did five or six of different kind of fish (There is a picture below two photos). It was amazing that he would cut them in two seconds. I'm glad that I went and missed one of my classes and it was totally worth it. Here are my jounrals for this week:
