Choux Fly Don't Bother Me

So my upcoming unit is Pate Feuilletee which is puff pastry - it will definitely be interesting to say the least.  I'm going to have a partner change that I'm a little aprehensive about but I'll get over it!!

Yesterday was so awesome, I finally met one of the main reasons I came to this school, Mr. Jacques Torres, Mr. Chocolate himself.  He did a chef demo on petit fours and chocolate, but of course.  I learned a lot and I learned that he's a pretty funny dude.  I got my picture with him afterward.  I remember watching him when I was really young on PBS with Julia Childs, so this was like as starstruck as I've been since moving to NYC.

After the demo a bunch of us went out for German beers and food.  It was so much fun!  No Das Boot, but I had a liter of a special pilsner, okay, okay, I had two, and a small one of some kind of banana wheat beer, pretty delicious.  And I had a bratwurst with some mustard, if you were wondering.

Just finished my Pate a Choux week today - YAY! Out with the choux and in with the new is what I always say. I got a 98 on my written and a 96 on my practical so I should be happy with that and I most definitely am, but I want a damn 100%! It will happen next time, gadget, next time.
