So the plated dessert practical is over and I must say that it’s a relief to be done, despite the fact that I keep thinking of ways that I could have made my stuff better. Oh well, I ended up getting an A-, half a point away from an A, so its ok. I’ll still get an A in the class, so my 4.0 stands. I’ll have some pics up later tonight or maybe tomorrow. Overall it went pretty well, all the critiques I got were valid, and since I finished mine on Wednesday, I had 2 days to fool around and make whatever I wanted. I ended up making chocolate eclairs and chocolate cherry cookies yesterday and today I made cobbler, chocolate mousse, and french toast for everyone for breakfast.
I had an externship interview on tuesday that went really well. I’m going to be baking for a catering company in SE Portland. I’m really excited about it, it seems like I’ll learn a lot, and it’s paid, which is really cool since I won’t be working 40 hours a week for free.
We’re going to see Spiderman tonight; I’ve heard good things so hopefully I’ll enjoy it. Other than that, I don’t know what our plans are for the 3 day weekend. I work tomorrow from 5-10 am (ah the hours of a baker) and on Monday afternoon, but other than that not much is going on. Maybe we’ll go up to Fort Vancouver for the fireworks again this year.
