random food post
For my major I'm required to do a certain amount of "kitchen hours" and so I chose to be a chef's assistant for an advanced culinary class. I thought it'd be hell but I'm actually learning a lot while I wash the chef's dishes. He made a really yummy Tropical Salad and I came home and made it myself.....And took pictures of it because it actually came out alright. It's baby shrimp, green apple, pineapple and celery mixed with cream and salt then served wrapped with cucumber strands (which was a little hard to do) and with an amaaaaazingly good Red Wine Vinegar and sugar reduction. I only had frozen shrimp, not fresh and I didn't have a mold to serve it.... oh! and I didn't have all white plates so it doesn't look so fancy....and I kinda screwed up on the second little vinegar reduction line but it tasted very very good! You should try it if you're bored and like to cook.
