Boy after my own heart

ah the pleasures that ben and jerry have to offer, nothing compares

Interesting week, but a good one

Ever seen a seahorse with an elvis profile? my camera died about halfway through class, so will have to put the finished product up later. kinda nice for an action shot, but i look really serious don't i? next week we are doing pistol pete and the osu logo, should be fun.

Little wet, little bit.

I realize its gross to put a picture of a pig carcass out there for everyone to see, but thought some of you might get a kick out of it. in my meat class we got in a whole pig, cut down the middle, and we had to cut him up. definitely a learning experience, especially since he had been frolicking in his pig pen 24 hours earlier, poor guy. was ok until i accidentally grabbed his hoof when we were lifting him out of the box. kinda threw me a bit, i'm not gonna lie. (sorry kels)

last semester = hardcore cooking classes + fun electives

My latest endeavor; ice carving.

Angel fish (we did this together as a class, for a first not too bad)

Chef did this one as a demo for us.

Never-Ending Pasta

Angelhair anyone?

if you'll notice, the tall one got the job of holding, while the hobbit cranked. in the end we decided both were equally brutal.

little loopy after 3 HOURS of cranking out the never ending sheets

Finals Pics ( 4 weeks late, my camera was at school over the break, whoops )

Chef Surmont, had to put up with me ALL day long for 8 long weeks. The table behind is the bakery display with an ice carving of 2 candlesticks, nice and Christmasy.

Grilled Antipasto platter

Me and Ben got stuck doing the pasta action station for the employee Christmas party at school. If you look out the window there are some ice sculptures.

Salmon Gravlax. ( we got to cut a whole, fresh salmon and cure it with dill, salt, sugar, and gin)

Baked Brie with a filling of mushrooms sauteed with thyme, shallots, and sweet vermouth wrapped in puff pastry.

Blue Cheese Tart with rose garnishes made out of tomatoes, lemons, and radishes.
