Culinary Cuts exam...

Well, I totally forgot that we had a cuts exam today lol... Good thing I know the cuts.  I've been studying everything in its French terminology which I think has been helping me a Lot.  I found a site online where all i have to do is type in the French word and it pronounces it for me.  Poor Chef Knaup, French just is not his forté lol.  I'm excited for CF2, we have Chef Knaup as our instructor for that class as well.  We'll be doing a Lot of cooking in that class and I hope I can keep up. 

Anyway, I went off track, Chef had us grade ourselves on our cuts lol... I have to say, I'm a little OCD so getting the cuts the right size is kind of well, ok, so I'm anal about it, so shoot me lol.  I can't help myself.  I gave myself mostly 10s because, yes, they all looked that good and precise except for the 9 I gave myself for the tourné cuts not being consistent.  It's sometimes a curse to be so precise, I don't think i'll ever win a speed contest because i'd be all, OMG That carrot is bigger or longer than the other, Fix It!!! SOoooo that means I got an A for that portion of our finals lol...

Tomorrow we have to make Mayo and Hollandaise and a mystery basket of Lord knows what.  So I showed Hannah, the teen i'm sitting with while her mom is off on a cruise, how to make mayo tonight.  She's 16 and goofy.  I told her to put the egg yolk in the bowl, and she proceeded to crack the egg with her forehead and it splattered all over the place.  Yep...  Anyway, we got the mayo made and i'll just hope for the best on the hollandaise tomorrow.  I make mayo all the time now at home... Good stuff.

Well, servsafe test tomorrow so i'm off to go study.

That's my blip for my BFFs today.
