Almost At the End!

So today was the last day of Cuisine Across Cultures Class!! *TEAR*
That class was so much fun and im so glad that Chef Mike Riley was my instructor. Next class is buffet class so that should be interesting!!

Venison Goulash
 Chile Relleno
 Chile stuffed with chicken/cheese
 I battered it after i stuffed it then fried it. The Sauce is Mole Sauce. So good!!!





So today for the last day we had to just come to school and cook with whatever we had. Basically like the show CHOPPED or Iron Chef. We were given a whole chicken and there was just ingredients everywhere. I literally was praying and asked God to just cook with me.  This is what me and God came up with =]......

Marinated some chicken breast, grilled it, made jasmine rice, and diced up some apples and cooked them in some hot paprika and sweet paprika and butter, pinch of sugar and salt. This actually came out good!
 With the thigh i deboned it, sauted some mushrooms, red bell pepper, garlic, onion, and parmesean cheese..stuffed it in the chicken, pinned it up with some toothpicks and put it over a mirepoix (celery, carrot, onion) some water, chicken stock and white wine. and cooked it in the oven covered in foil Then I made some green beans, sauted in butter pinch of salt and a lot of pepper, pinch of red chilli pepper flakes and made some small slices of ginger. And had rice, sprinkled with celantro. This came out gooood too!! But it needs a different color in there.

Well, almost done with culinary school. seems like just yesterday I was tryna think of a name for my blog to start posting things on here. haha! time flies!! and I have no idea whats next. But, God is good, and I know Im just gonna keep on going UP from here!!!

PASTA!!

I LOVE PASTA! I mean, who doesnt?? I feel cool that I know how to make it from scratch. WHOOP!!
Dessert First! We made Cannolis! (ka-no-lee) Very interesting mixture (goat cheese, pistachios, dried cherried, and chocolate) was stuffed into the fried dough but this was reallyy good. Which reminds me of ONE of the reasons why I love cooking. You can add in something that seems totally odd with something else, but yet they go perfect with each other. Dont judge a recipe by its ingredients!! haha. =]
 Making the pasta.....
 I made tortellinis also. YUUMM! They are so cute. They look like little belly buttons=]
 Carbonara Pasta. DELICIOUS isn't the word. Everybody in class immediately destroyed their dishes after making this dish! It was So Goooood! And yes, I made the fettuccine pasta noodles from scratch also. So happy they came out good. I was FOCUSED=]

Again if you want the recipes on ANYTHING I post, feel free to let me know and I will be more than glad to send it to ya'!!

..Please continue to pray for me yall! only two months left and I still dont have a place to intern at. But, God is good and I know where ever I go will help me grow and be the best that I can be!!
