On the menu for today: Paris-Brest, Cream Puffs, Swans, Éclair, and Cream Horns. I really moved too slow especially since I mise en place'd everything before we started. Though I did finish before the rest of the class. They honestly move too slow. Really. It took everyone 4 hours to complete what should have taken 2 if not an hour to do. Okay so it may sound like I am boasting or complaining but really and truly they take too long. And what makes it worse is that we are paired. I am paired with one guy who I believe is a bit 'challenged' and I mean that in the nicest of ways. So I am happy to help him, guide help along, and let him do stuff instead of fetch tools or ingredients. That got a little annoying today I guess that is how it is.
Anyway back to the SEXY pastries. That best part of being in Baking and Pastry is that walk to the dorm room and everyone keeps asking what's in the bag or box. That and palming some of the tasties off on people in the hall and hear them complain "how you are going to get them fat", while they shove another bit full down they mouths. Then there are the complements that come from your dorm mate; "Man that tasted good!" "Yum..that éclair hit the spot" and the best for the evening "For me to enjoy this I have to take a piss". I don't know how two are connected but apparently they are.
Oh shit I can't believe I forgot to mention the fruit strip! Ok that was the best; got to use fresh strawberries and wait for it raspberries (hence the title).
raspberries are awesome especially yummy when you just pick them to eat.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the fattening of your dorm floor neighbors
