Day Twentyone

And now it’s time for the Blog update of Doom and Destruction. Yesterday there was no update because I was sick and didn’t go to school. But today, I am glad to announce, that I was able to almost completely catch up. Yesterday the class made Danish dough. Danish dough is like puff pastry or croissant dough. I made mine today while the rest of the class was turning theirs, so tomorrow I get to go and do my turns.

Then I made the sorbet that they made. It was super easy, sugar, powdered glucose, and water in a pan and bring to a boil. Then add fruit purée, we did strawberry, and some lemon juice. Bring that to a boil, and then cool in an ice bath before setting up in the fridge. Then put in an ice cream machine and enjoy.

After that all I had to do is make vanilla ice cream, it was just a large batch of vanilla cream sauce. It sits up in the fridge and then gets churned in the ice cream machine. Hopefully we are going to serve them for dinner on Thursday, can’t wait.

That was all we did today because we had to go to a presentation by some of the students who went on this trip to California and visited a bunch of vineyards and farms and stuff. The only other thing the class made yesterday that I didn’t was sandwich bread, but chef bgave me a small loaf to take home, which dad ripped right into. Chef says that it is a super easy thing to make so ill give it a try sometime this weekend.


Also I am curious about who is reading this blog, can i get a sound off or something?

  1. I guess I can start the sound off. This is Stewart, your cousin. It was fun to see your parents last week on their way through the midwest. I really like your blog and learning about your culinary experience. Keep up the good work.
