Sound of Silence in Noisy World: June 2013

So the summer began as for me, I am on three weeks break from school. I really need a break from school because my brain had been fried. I am serious. I started school on the first week of Jan and continue until third week of March. Then I had one week break. Then the school start on first week of April and continue to second week of June. So my brain was fried because it had so much homework to do. This school gave me a lot of homework then I was in college. I mean, I have to handwritten the recipe every week, about 6 to 15 recipes to write for my classes. Also I have learn every day. So most of time, I get tired. It is nice to have three week break to let my brain rest.

So anyway, last Spring quarter, I took Intro to baking, Asian Cuisine, and English. Let me talk about one class that I didn't like at all. It is English class. I know everyone don't like English class. But I am saying that this English class is the one worst class I ever taken. I have learned nothing from this class. I mean this teacher always have public debate on many issues. I felt like I am in Political Science class, not English class. I have learned nothing from this class. So I don't have much to say about this one.

This class, Intro to baking, is not my favorite class. Yes, I do enjoying baking that only happen at home, not in the field. In this class, you just make and mix, and then you bake. All you have to wait while it bake. So most time, you clean. Also I am not that kind of person to stand around and waiting. I am glad that I picked the right field into Culinary. This teacher in this class is very strict and organizing. I do enjoy his teaching style but it is little annoy over little things but not too bad. I enjoy this class as I learn a lot. I learned a lot of new styles of baking and understand how things works that I cooked differently from home. If I own a restaurant, I would hire baker/pastry to do those desserts for me. Anyway, I learned how to do the cookies, bread, pies, ice cream, and the fancy desserts. Here is the example that I learn and did my best.

Whole Wheat Bread Spritz Cookie (my best of all) Eclairs (My family love this)

Fresh Fruit Tart Sacher Tort (Chocolate Cake)

Candied Orange Browne with Homemade marshmallow and Honey Almond Ice Cream

Do this look delicious to you?

Let talk about my most favorite class which is Asian Cuisine. I really love this class. At first, I wasn't sure about this class. I thought that it would be tough class but it seem not to be. I know this Asian Cuisine have a lot of ingredient to make one dish. But still, I love this class. I finally found this class that I am really good and love their dishes. I learned about Japan, China, Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam cuisine. I like Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam the most. But I would like to try more. Since in my class, we have limited resources because we live in Utah. If I live in California, then we could cook more dishes. But I enjoyed this class. This teacher is the best one I ever taken. I can see why many students like him. He is laid-back teacher and took his time to teach us, but he is also strict too. I really like this class a lot and I will miss this.
