| Chef Heny with my classmates |
Guess what day is today? Yup it’s
pastry school day! Who knew there would ever come a time that I would be
excited to go to school? Well certainly not me not that I didn’t enjoy college,
it was a blast! This is different though, I didn’t mind waking up early even if
I wasn’t able to sleep early. I didn’t even mind commuting even if it’s quite
far. I’m there to learn and yes I’m definitely learning. It’s something I look
forward to every weekend.
After that awesome time we had with the Custard lesson, I couldn't wait to today's lesson. Today was all about pies, tarts
and quiches. That is one of my weakness I could never make decent pie dough. I
find it confusing when to dock and not to dock. Which dough is patchable and
which is not. Which dough goes with what filling? We were like a bunch of
groupies that got so excited when the cake guru herself was the one who was teaching
us that day. The lesson started out very smoothly but then when time was
against us, chef was rushing a bit and some of us got lost in what to do next.
After this class I’m quite
confident that I can make my crust. It’s a good thing that I already got a food
processor a generous birthday gift from my siblings and my brother-in-law years
ago. J Yes! Chef also taught us how to do it manually but it took
time! Thrice as long as the food processor procedure! Love it! I found out that
I was rolling out my crust way too cold and I was not mixing and watering it
enough.
One of the funny events that occur
in the class is that we had this new classmate that is such a scatterbrained
and literary doesn’t know anything about the kitchen, it’s like watching Paris Hilton’s
Simple Life. Haha…then after 2 hours, she suddenly announced that she is in the
wrong class! Her class was for the oven phobic baking class which will be held
in a different classroom later in the afternoon! Hehe…I think she got so
excited and woke up hours and hours earlier. Even thinking about it now makes
me smile.
Hopefully this would improve by
next week. Up next is all about cakes!
