Day 9

Well things are going good at school. On weds. I was asked to help out a hotel, for the tenth annual Chefs BBQ in the park. The event took place at a park in the north side of Chicago. There was a very large number of the top Hotels and restaurants there. Every thing that was made had to local grown. If some one were to tell me that I would cooking and serving at a $100 a head BBQ a year ago, I would have told them that they were crazy. We made a dessert that was a honey cake, Carmel cream, and grilled apricots. The desert was really good. I got to walk around and talk to the chefs and try allot of amazing food that I have never had before. I got out at 8:30 and had no idea how I was going to make it home do to the fact that I was not able to go home after school and look up a bus rout home. Finally after talking with a bus driver and a lot of worrying I finally found a bus that would take me were I needed to go. After a hour and a half bus ride I finally got home with out any real problems. On Thursday at school we made Pate a Choux's, and pastry cream. On Friday we made almond cream, and French and Italian Meringue. The Italian meringue we mixed with Butter to make Butter Cream, that every one but Chef Jonathan, and myself thought tasted to much like butter, we thought that it was to sweet maybe that's the french coming out in me. But until we meet again have a good day.
