So I started FFP (Fundamentals of Food-service Production) Thursday of last week. I probably should have told you about it then, but I had other things on my mind... Anyway, today my group made Fried Chicken, Mac and Cheese, and Haricot Vert au Beurre (Green Beans with butter). I made the Mornay Sauce for the mac and cheese (Mornay = really fucking delicious cheese sauce). I also fried the chicken, and managed to splash myself with hot oil. Didn't hurt too much. Thankfully, working at the Eagle in Fredericksburg helped me get used to oil burns... surprisingly, they don't really leave marks. Then I managed to burn myself on the steam table. That does leave a mark, but it doesn't hurt as long... Burns are weird... haha...
Anyway, FFP basically teaches pan frying and sauteing, and we get to eat what we make... Needless to say, I've been eating a lot of fried food, which is making me impatient for the student center to open up, cause I don't wanna put on any more weight than I already have.... Yes, I'm aware that made me sound like a girl. STFU.
So yeah... There's only 6 more days of FFP, then 9 days of Meatcutting... 15 days of class total, which comes out to 3 weeks, not counting this week. My last day of class is May 19, so those of you who, for some exceptionally odd reason, miss me, you can contact me and might be able to see me on May 20 :)
Well, that's all for now... ttfn
