Well, not literally bloody. Today we had to make mayonnaise, hollandaise, beurre blanc and bechamel. Honestly, the only one that worked out for me was mayonnaise. And I "forgot" to take pictures today, so no exciting photos...
Chef Soren showed up this morning, hobbling in pain and just stuck a round long enough to let us know that Chef Julian would be taking over the class.. Chef Julian is ok, but he has a tendency to skim and not hit the details and talking points the same way as Soren. Anyway, we got our tests back from last week - two A's !! I got 100% on one and 99% on the second. And here I was thinking I totally f-ed it up. It all went downhill from there. Our beurre blanc split, our hollandaise split ( I didn't make the hollandaise, so I won't take responsibility for it...) and our bechamel tasted odd. It was the best looking, but something in the ingredients went wrong. It had a faintly acidic flavour which no one could identify or pin down a possible cause for. Very frustrating day all round. On the plus side, we got out of class early, I blasted through my homework and I am going to treat myself to a Corona on the patio in the sun.
