Last wednesday I went to sleep feeling just fine and ready for another day in Fundamentals, whelp I was wrong I woke up sick stuffy/runny nose, chills, headache the whole nine yards. As the time ticked slowly towards class time I kept willing myself to feel good enough to go to class, by 10 I had resigned myself to relax and that I was not going to make it to class that day but if I rested up I could go the next day. Wrong again I felt horrible and not just from the cold/flu whatever I had but because I was going to miss them making consomme ( a broth made extra clear and flavorful by using what is referred to as a "raft"). The next day which was Saturday and game day I made myself get everything together cause really there was no back-up team mom plus it was homecoming. I went to the game and felt a little better which was probably from the fresh air. But once home forget it I was wiped out I didnt even go to the dance to drop off my son.By Monday I was well enough to go to school plus it was a lecture class so no fear of contaminating the food (the reason I didnt go to Fundamentals that and I couldnt stand w/o being dizzy). I asked L what we did in Fundamentals and she told me which soups they made and that we were having our mid-term that week. AHHHH!!! She helped my by giving me her notes and that Chef T gave out a study guide which I got from Chef A, and on that list of what we were going to be tested on what consomme. There was no way for me to make it up or anything so I just made sure to read the recipe real good and go for it.
Yesterday was Thursday Day 1 of Fundamentals for the week and none of us knows what to expect I am no longer nervous (since I talked to some guys who have already had it and said testing is usually day 2) we go in and set up and Chef asks us if we wanted to test that day or the next majority votes for Friday and we get started on making eggs.
Now one wouldnt think eggs to be all the complicated but we made 10 different kinds not much to them but still requiring more attention than one would think an egg would get. I did do good once Chef was looking at them so there is that. Now on to day 2...
