This week we had 3 days of regular classes, and Wednesday and Thursday were prep and catering for a architecture firm's christmas party (i presume). Those days were especially fun because it was more relaxed, and for the day of the catering i only had to be there at 5:30pm and was done by 9pm! i did another observation at a small restaurant last night, which was really fun and the food looked amazing. Today i'm spending the day coming up with ideas and making timelines for my black box 'exam' next friday, where they'll give us a few surprise ingredients and we have 2.5 hours to present 2 portions each of an appetizer and main course. I'm feeling a lot better about it now that i'm partially prepared (i will be fully prepared by the time friday rolls around don't you worry). and tomorrow is the grey cup! we're going to make chili and puppy chow :) intricate and creative i know :P anyways, without further ado, here's the food:
