Cheese cake

I have tasted many cheese cake in my life, but my favorite comes from Cheese Cake Factory.   The Red Velvet is my favorite.   It is very rich, lots of curled white chocolate adornes it.

Sweetie Pies

When I feel the need to celebrate something I treat myself to my favorite spot in town.   Today I am treating myself as a reward to doing well on my finals in culinary school. Today is smothered pork chops, mac n cheese, sweet potatoes and cooked cabbage.  Its pretty much what I have when I eat here

Fruit

In Chef Paynes class, in phase one, we did fruit carvings. This took as much skill as did imagination.   Thats one area I see I need help with,  but how?  So giving it much thought, I conclude that I need to read more on thd culinary arts.

Steak n taters

This picture is of cooking  our class did in Chef De Coster's class.  My favorite item on this plate was the baked tomato.   We sliced ends off.
Then seasoned and a light drizzle of olive oil,a sprinkle of parmigiano cheese then into the oven.  Simply incredible tasting and so easy. It also made a    colorful plating.

Doughnuts

Doughnuts are another top 5 man's best friend.  I feel that traditional doughnuts are amazing. On Thursday of last week I had the pleasure of tasting "special" doughnuts.   I sampled two, the first was a chocolate cake doughnut topped with butter finger candy bitz.  The second was  glazed  then topped with bacon. Both really great. 

Week 49

Tonight is the last night of week 49.  It's been an extremely busy phase.  I am very happy with the vast amount of things I have retained.  The English stands out probably the most.  As I write my blogs, verbage, correct punctuation, and and proper forming of sentences just jump out at me.  Thank you Chef Shuman for your guidance.

Attitude

I am noticing that lately, I feel different when I put on my chef coat.  I have noticed I  feel more comfortable,  more professional.  It happens when I am at work as well sk its not the chef coat, but its perhaps me.  This is an awesome feeling.
