Week 7 December day 1-4

This week was busy, holy cow, I was helping with few of my classmates with braised Tri Tips beef. I got so hot that my face was really red and I took a lot of 30 seconds break, but I did not let the heat bother and prevent me from doing what I love to do is cooking. It was for lunch next day on Wednesday for a big group. It was suppose to be easy day for everyone, but it was hard day for me because I was struggling with the heat with high heat cooking and I didn't stand around and chat with my classmates about thanksgiving break. Our lunch ended up to be omelet and it was delicious. We roasted the potatoes for the lunch too, but we had some with our omelet. Next day, we plate it and I learned how to cut sole fish and make fish stock. We taught to cook fish in different methods such as broil, grill, deep fry, pan-fried trout. We did not do sole fish, only butcher the fish. After few days, we used fish stock in our risotto and I HATE it. It was absolute gross, the cheese helped so much with flavor. It is better with chicken stock than fish stock, I will taste it again, but if I had risotto, I would like to make sure it is used with chicken stock. For my risotto with fish stock, I had celery instead carrots. It was really pretty with chopped parsley leaves. It had light green of celery and dark green of celery.
This Saturday, I had to go to catering a event and it was fun with few classmates. Brianna and I plate the salad plates and it was lot of them. I took pictures of the event such as two tables, the table, salad plates, desserts, me and Brianna stuck in the freezer for 30 seconds. It was a lot of fun, but my back was hurting and I had to sit down when I was getting really hot which it was strange because I was not near the heat. It was long hours of catering event, but it was a lot of fun with classmates. Also, I talked to some culinary students who are in Chef Peter and Stein's class and talk about their experience and the homework. It was useful to get all of information and how to prepare myself or next semester.
