Stars, steak, and cakes! : )

Hey everyone!! : )

So recaps, recaps!

On Tuesday, during Pastry Tube Art, we had our midterm by showing off how we could make stars, rosettes, zig zags, and more. I think I have improved a lot! : )

On Wednesday we made steak, sauce, risotto, and sauted veggies. I don't eat steak, so two other girls and myself cut one into three parts so we all three wouldn't waste a whole steak in the end! The cooking is the same, it just takes less to to brown in the pan in the beginning!


Yummmy, brown! x0

On Thursday we made high fat cakes! I made a high ratio yellow cake, and a creaming method chocolate cake! We also made some crepes that we filled half with nutella, and half with a savory meat mixture.They were easy, and straight forward. We had a yummy ice cream and cake party afterwards and I was full, full, full! : )


Yellow cake!


Chocolate cake!

Friday and Saturday were full of Cold Stone working! I worked till midnight on Friday, but I love my job so I didn't really mind! : )

Finally today, I had some awesome Pad Thai with my brother, and am again: full, full, full!

I can't wait for Thanksgiving this week! I'm going to try and bake some pies, and my parents are coming up to visit so It's going to be a lot of fun!

Love you all, and tell my about your Thanksgiving!

Lunch with a friend!

So the past three days, I have gone out to eat lunch at three different places, but with the same friend!

On Sunday, we went to Gulliver's Book Store, which is this amazing bookstore with a cafe upstairs. We both got pesto turkey wraps, and cinnamon spice lattes which are like Starbucks Pumpkin spice lattes, but ten times better!

On Monday, we went to a little coffee shop near my culinary school where we split a garlic pizza with artichokes and tomatoes, and she got a white chocolate mocha, and I got an iced vanilla latte. Then for dessert, she had an amazing piece of tirimisu she let me have a few bits of, and I had yummy creme brulee!



Finally, today for lunch we went to Sourdough Sam's Cafe! She had an omelet, hash browns, and biscuits with gravy, and I had a blueberry creme with a side of hash browns!


(Nom! Yay for whipped cream! ^_^ )

Then, for dessert we both had warm pecan pie with vanilla ice cream!

I was so happy to spend three days of a row with this amazing friend and am going to miss her so much!!

xoxo,

Lizzie!
