I should have posted sooner, but between the typhoon and the simultaneous make up classes, I just wanted to squeeze in all the sleep and rest I could get.
We have finished 2 series of lessons and halfway through another, but I’m going to post all of them separately. This first one is special… Because it’s one of my favorite lessons: Seafood.
I don’t know where to begin. All I have are raves about the lessons we had. It wasn’t perfect all the time, but there were minimal mistakes.
I thought all fish are cooked well done. But boy was I wrong. Tuna is cooked bleu while Salmon is cooked medium. All white fish should be cooked through, but not dry. It is not an exact science. It is all based on instinct unlike beef, pork and/or chicken. No matter what though, it should always, ALWAYS be fresh. =)

Aw, this was a really good post. Spending some
time and actual effort to make a very good article… but what can I say… I put
things off a lot and never manage to get anything done.
Thanks! Sometimes, life gets in the way! I’m find myself multitasking 95% of the time. Writing about the amazing stuff I encounter or experience goes right down the bottom of the list! I still want to share them though. =)
