Sunday, July 25, 2010. Almond irish coffee bites and job training. This past week i've been training for work, and it's just been busy busy busy lately. it's hard to imagine how busy and rushed we'll all be once the restaurant actually opens! There are quite a few things i learned from training, though. for one thing, a lot of times prep cook = slave. okay, maybe that was a slight over exaggeration. but you know how slaves do the same menial tasks over and over again? ESPECIALLY if it's organic! I know i...

Frosting On Top: February 2010
http://frostingontop.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 11, 2010. You know that feeling when there's just soo much going on at once, that you don't really know where to begin? Yeah that kind of explains why i haven't posted anything in a while. so maybe i'll just go on a short hiatus, until i figure out alla this shit. things right now are way too confusing. On a lighter note, dinner tonight was bombtastic. I made apple-roasted pork with garlic and parmesan risotto and a cucumber salad. hell yes. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A day in the life.

Monday, March 29, 2010. Movin' on up spring break. Saturday was my cousin's going away party, and we pretty much spent the whole day just cooking and preparing for it. she's going to teach english in japan for a whole year! But ANYWAY, i spent thursday and friday making a cake for her goodbye party, even though they ended up eating it the next morning (i would rather they eat it sober than drunk anyway haha). Or that's what i thought at least). As for my family moving, we still haven't found a place yet!

Frosting On Top: November 2009
http://frostingontop.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. I think about my life; is it so sad that i feel i have to wish for some kind of happiness? So maybe it's not necessary for me to make this wish anymore. maybe now i'm just doing it out of habit, a habit i should probably break. I love you guys :). Thursday, November 12, 2009. A cause for reflection: gender relations. BECAUSE it feels so new and confusing (more often in a negative. But i don't want it to be that way. i want to be able to meet a guy who i CAN'T think of as sl...

Frosting On Top: 4th of july feats and flops!
http://frostingontop.blogspot.com/2010/07/4th-of-july-feats-and-flops.html
Tuesday, July 6, 2010. 4th of july feats and flops! Happy (late) Independence Day! Was spent at a party at my uncle's house, and i had my first go at making american bbq beef. And i attempted to make mini chocolate pound cakes (flop). the beef was SOOOO goood and i actually got to cut a good amount of hours cooking it by just using the pressure cooker instead of the slow cooker or oven. the chocolate pound cake on the other hand, well, just keep reading. Looks pretty, right? View my complete profile.

Frosting On Top: kiwi gelato and an update on the job hunt
http://frostingontop.blogspot.com/2010/07/kiwi-gelato.html
Saturday, July 3, 2010. Kiwi gelato and an update on the job hunt. Remember my last post i mentioned a job fair in Newport? Well, i MIGHT get the job! Or i MIGHT NOT! I know, this whole thing makes me kinda nervous, too. basically, whether i get the job or not (a part time prep cook position) depends on my fall schedule for school, which i won't know until July 7th. sooo, at this point i'm hoping and PRAYING that they'll still want me by then! Anyway, onto the gelato! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wednesday, June 23, 2010. Mini cake and trying to make progress. Another day, another addition to the portfolio. it turns out, i REALLY need practice, especially with beadwork. looking back on the pictures of the cake i made for the debut, it looks like i haven't improved at all! I'm hoping that maybe that photographer just took the pictures from reeeally good angles. Buttercream instead of that lame "7-minute" buttercream that i had to make TONS of for the debut cake. Tuesday, June 22, 2010. Black and w...

Thursday, January 28, 2010. Baking rut feeling a little sick. Wednesday: i attempt to make french almond macarons for the first time with the help of my cousin. the taste and texture is there, but the looks are totally wrong. too big, cracks going along the top, and no feet to them. here's what they're supposed to look like if you don't know what they are: http:/ www.mytartelette.com/2009/08/recipe-coffee-chicory-macarons.html. Get off my case, man! Somehow i managed to make them completely hollow :/.
