There’s a new instructor for CULN 2212. Chef Mark Patel is a badass. CIA Grad who also worked at Chez Panisse. We started class with the usual first day stuff, then he threw us in the kitchen to make two identical plates with Entree, veg, starch and sauce. We had to use chicken which we broke down from a whole bird. I made Pollo alla Diavolo, Roasted Root Veggies and sauteed Broccolini and Wax Beans. He liked my food, but was not a fan of my presentation. Presentation has always been my weakness in the kitchen. It looks like that’s the main thing we’ll be working on this semester!
I managed to get all my classes on Tues and Thurs which is great, but it means I am at school 12 hours those days.
Oh well. If I end up with the IT job, I can work MWF and everything will be awesome!
What have you done that’s new?
