Day Ten Here we go Again... Practical exam number 2! Day 10

Hello Food Diary and Hungry Food Bloggers!


GOOD News everyone!!! I scored a 95% on my written sauce exam and a 91% on the sauce practical.... All A's is my goal...so lets keep this up!!!


Today we had our second written and Practical exam... it was on soups! Just like Monday I had to take a multiple choice and product ID written test, then the timed practical on 3 different types of soups. Consomme Brunoise, Creme Dubarry and French Onion were the soups of the day! I felt more nervous about this test than the last one. Making 3 soups in a short amount of time is a hard thing to do! Last night I spent about 4 hours going over my ingredients and procedures. I made a production list and a grocery list with all my ingredients and their amounts to make my mise en place go smoothly. The written exam was pretty simple, and the soup practical went better than I had expected. I am so glad it is the weekend...After taking 2 exams in one week I am tired and my body HATES me. I have many hours of sleep to catch up on, and tons of episodes of Criminal Minds and Chopped to watch! I hope you all have a great three day weekend!! Happy Memorial Day!


Buenos Noches!!!
