It has been a tiring day... but I gotta say, it was all worth it. My mom usually cooks for us, especially during special occasions. However, this year - today - I felt it was my turn to cook and serve dinner. I didn't plan anything really special, but everything was made from scratch and… Continue reading Christmas Dinner.

Meringues.
This'll be short and sweet. For this lesson, we only did one thing. Then we had to pipe boiled icing for our practical quiz. So without further ado... Two words: TOO SWEET! 😉
Seafood Galore.
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… Continue reading Seafood Galore.

I'm putting it all in one entry to keep you updated! I'm currently multitasking... Taking my lunch and writing this post. We… Continue reading Quack. Baaaa. And Anything in Between.
Ch-ch-chicken!
This was what I first saw when I came to school that morning! I love eating chicken... but fabricating it is a different story. I buy my chicken pre-cut, usually already filleted. Lol Anyway, I paid a fortune to study so this is due. I'd still rather just buy my chicken already cleaned, cut and/or… Continue reading Ch-ch-chicken!
…And Even More Meat.
Pork Fabrication looked like it's going to be easier after all those beef, veal and lamb we cooked. I was wrong! My team and I have an "unspoken system" when we are cooking. So we thought everything will go on okay every time. But for the first time since school started, I felt like giving… Continue reading …And Even More Meat.
