I'd go with "or what"....
I had my Final Bakery Practical exam today..and guess what...it could not have gone better....
My bread rolls...they always come out of the oven cracked...always!
I make other things like chocolate mousse, orange souffle, cookies etc etc..and everything turns out well..but my bread rolls..no no no...they always come out cracked. BUT TODAY..ALL MY BREAD ROLLS WERE PERFECT! Not even a single one of them (out of 16 rolls) was cracked...and plus keep in mind I had to throw away my first batch of dough because it didn't turn out well as I had forgotten to add salt and sugar! And losing time in the 3 hrs that we all had been given, that means uh oh trouble!...But I did it..I had no choice but to do it again!...So 3 things it were...bread rolls, genoise sponge and chocolate mousse (mine turned out in layers...but thx to a friend of mine who came to the rescue!)
tomorrow I have my Food Production Operation Practical Exam....now that, I am scared about...
I hope I don't get a fish preparation....I like fish, love it infact. But since tomorrow is an exam, the idea of my fillet going wrong is starting to scare me a little bit...I can manage chicken..its more ..errr..friendlier to cut..A fish on the other hand, I find is more conservative..I mean while you are cutting fillets..you have to keep checking whether you are cutting right or not..whether you have any bones coming in the flesh or whether there is any flesh sticking to the bones...its a tough job..I like doing it..and I can do it...but I just don't want to do it tonmorrow!...A chicken is much more easy and flexible to handle...the joints in the chicken help you cut it...and plus if you are getting bored you can stick your hand inside the whole chicken and make it walk across the chopping board...you know, like a puppet...try doing it the next time you cut a chicken...you wouldn't be able to do it without a naughty smile on your face...! haha...
that way lobsters would be fun to deal with too!
anyway...great day today...hope its a great day tomorrow too....
ciao people..have to go study...I think i'll start with fish...
keepwell.

hi shagun,
ReplyDeleteglad that your exam went off well. am sure today you will do even better. and on some off day, it may not happen right, so take that too in ur stride.
just about a month left for you to undertake ur journey to london. that will be an enriching experience.
hope you got fish and u did the fillets right.
papa
Hahahahaha.... Shagun!!
ReplyDeleteI just decided to check your other 'posts'... and just couldn't stop 'laughing' after reading this one!! I know, I know.. Exam tension and all... But, Jesus... making a 'dead' chicken 'walk'.. that's just 'out of this world'!!
I can safely say I'm a 'decent' cook.. but well, 'baking' is another ball-game all together!
Can I 'follow' your blog.. for some 'sweet and delicious' tips, young lady?!
(Not to mention the 'humour' it'll add to my day - re-living - 'college' experience thru ur account of it!)
Cheers!!
thank you miss neena...
ReplyDeletenice to hear from you...
and yes you can definitely follow my blog...
what kind of food do you like to cook?
anyway, hope to make you smile always...
thank you again...
keepwell...
Ah, well.. Shagun.. If we are gonna be 'buddies' (pen-pals!) then we drop the 'formalities' right here! :)
ReplyDeleteAgreed that I'm double your age ( - hehehe, plus a 'few' years on top!) but I like to 'stay' - young at heart! So, please, don't hesitate to call me -'Neena'! (- it'll make things 'comfy' between us!)
Cooking?.. Hmmm, as I've never had kids till date, I didn't get anywhere close to the 'oven' to 'bake' cookies or cakes!! :)
After the 'initial' (-younger) years when 'Maggi' was the 'magic' word... let's just say I've 'graduated' to doing 'proper' cooking! Hahaha... ( My brother still thinks it has potential to 'kill' people... but I'd like to believe I'm getting better with 'practice'!)
I can make our 'Punjabi' food n all... but I also, like (having and making) Pasta.. and different 'salads' - you know, not just the 'green' ones but also the nutritious ones - like 'Beans', 'Eggs'.. etc. Even 'coleslaw' - cabbage and carrots (shredded) is 'yummy'.. as is the 'potatoes and chives'!!
Oh, I better stop here... my mouth is watering, already! :)
I'll get my morning cup of tea for now! :)
Take care!
