Today we have mid term practical. It's amazing how fast time goes. It was just recently that I started my program and we are already in the middle of the first semester.
There were two parts of today's practical. The first one was written exam. If I remember correctly 35 questions. Some of them were multiple choice, some true/fals, and some essay questions. I think I missed a couple. The second part was cooking practical. We have to make Consomme, Espagnol sauce, Mayonnaise, and Hollandaise. For all of our cooking we had 2 hours and 30 minutes and we had another 20 minutes for plating and serving.
I managed to do all these dishes on time. The main point I discovered -
to avoid panic. We were given enough time and there was no point to panic. One of the problem I am aware of is the yield. I got approximately 10% less yield that suppose to be except for Hollandaise (there it was allright). Now we are waiting for results. May be we will get them tomorrow.
After lunch I worked. So it was a really long day in the kitchen.
Tomorrow I am going to take FoodServe exam.
