You say puh-tay-toe, I say puh-tah-toe.

so this past week, (that i have been missing) we've been making everything out of potatoes lol basically. i never thought i would say this but after this, week or two, im actually sick of potatoes (for the time being) just ate so much so now i need to fast from potatoes lol but, the dishes that we have made were good. we made a few vegetable dishes also which came out goood =]

 Top Left Corner: just mashed potatoes, basically. lol just made really good=]
The above dish is called, Gratin Dauphinois. Very easy to make and reallygood. Layers of potato, seasoned with garlic, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and thyme, with heavy cream and gruyere cheese on top. yumm!!

  Top Right Corner: This Vegetable Dish is called Broccoli and Cauliflower Polonaise. Blanched broccoli and cauliflower with bread crumbs i toasted in butter, with salt, pepper, parsely, and boiled crumbled eggs. Actually really good.
Bottom Left Corner: Roasted Winter Vegetables. I chopped up some celery root, carrots, parsnips, butternut squash, turnips, tossed them with some olive oil, shallots and garlic salt and pepper then roasted them on a sheet pan in the oven. After they got their golden brown color i tossed it with some parsely & thyme. VERY GOOD!
Bottom Right Corner: I had made some Pommes Duchess, which is basically baked potatoes, sifted them through a tamie, mixed in egg yolks, salt, pepper, and butter then had made shapes and baked them. i didnt take a picture of that but i aint really like it. haha. but out of that left over mixture i added grated gruyere and parmesean cheese, some minced shallots and parsely, bredded them with flour, egg, then bread crumbs, then deep fried them and thats what i got, potato croquettes. (reminded me of when Tia made her potato croquettes =] )

Still enjoying everyday of class. Learning so much and wanting to learn even more. Time is going by fast because after next week im moving on to Foundations III !! Yeee!!
