Exams over!




L'examen finale
The final exam

Cuisine dish:
Roulade de selle d'agneau farcie, sauce navarin, emulsion de petit pois
petit panier de legumes tourne, puree de chou fleur, mille-feuille aux legumes brunoise

Stuffed saddle of lamb, navarin sauce, green peas emulsion
small basket of turned vegetables, cauliflower puree, mille-feuille of diced vegetables


It was certainly a nerve-wracking experience! The exams were quite difficult in my own opinion, seeing you have to create your own dish from a basket for the cuisine, and working with sugar sculpture for the pastry. I mean, two sugar sculpture from my group fell down, much to their dismay -oh, horror!- and was almost unsalvageable.

I'm not terribly happy with my work, and somehow, my sister tells me that the execution is the problem. What execution, achie?? Nag-insult ka ba sa akong abilities?? Sus, if you are, see if maka luto ko para nimu sa balay..

In the cuisine, I panicked a lot, and chef told me a lot of times to calm down. It's hard to calm down when everything's going wrong! My turned vegetables wasn't ready, and everything's a mess in the kitchen. My pots were too many and it was all over my place. I hope they don't take points from me for it. I mean it was the worst the last 15 minutes before the time limit. I barely passed the time limit, with no seconds to spare. It was the most intense 15 minutes i ever had in my life.

I have no idea of my grade yet, but we'll see tomorrow when the graduation ceremony will be held.

Classes are finished! Yippee! No more blisters in my thumb! I'm patting myself in relief since I was able to go through everything with no problem, except for minor hyperventilating and breathing problem. I get easily pressured.

Ok, ciao

“'When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,' said Piglet at last, 'what's the first thing you say to yourself?'
'What's for breakfast?' said Pooh. 'What do you say, Piglet?'
'I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?' said Piglet. Pooh nodded thoughtfully. 'It's the same thing,' he said.”


All About Me


I'm just an ordinary girl aspiring to become a multi-billionaire, in route to conquering the culinary world. I'm chubby. Sue me.

I'm currently attending Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, and I've got to say, winter is harsh on my skin and wreaks havoc on my appetite. Apparently, it makes me want to consume more carbohydrates, thus, potatoes, potatoes, and potatoes..
