today's a bad bad day for me. i was in a zombie mode the whole day. i ahd this bochap attitude in class. didn't really bother me when the profiteroles didn't look too good. i cldn't even be bothered to pipe the cream into them!
oh, profiteroles are similar to cream puffs. well, juz the size diff. all made from choux pastry. watz choux pastry? it's made from roux, the basis of all sauces = fat and flour. once we add water into the roux, it becomes panade. then we add the eggs, and this is known as the choux pastry. eclairs are made from choux.
tmrw i'll be making eclairs. today we made coux by hand, imagine beating the eggs in one at a time and the panade got stiffer and stiffer each time.
i'm not happy with wat i've made today but can't help it. i shd be good in choux coz i did that in coffee club. well, as i said, i was like a zombie the whole day. even now.
the chef asked us wat else we wanna learn besides those which we're taught n was thinking of askin ghim to teach me how to make tiramisu. i've done that in coffe club but i think there might be a variation here. will ask him tmrw. we're gonna learn how to make mudcake n shortbread which have been requested by us.
u guyz want me to ask anything? i'll be making rbead next week and we're told to bring some filling so we can have them for lunch. was thinking of buying pork floss which i've seen in asian shops and then put mayo with it on top of the bread. hahahhaa....breadtalk might sue me. hahhaha. but that's an "idea".
this palce is sickeningly dry. i thought my lips will not dry up and my skin will not dry too! but since march first, the first day of autumn, i'm like back to where iw as when i first came. hate to apply gloss and moisturizer but no choice.
ok, i ahvne't told u all wat i ahd for dinner right? well, juz stir fried beef and boiled choy sum. initially i tht i shd juz ahve steamed corn for dinner. but went for a jog so must eat well.
i tell ya, i'm kinda sick of pastries now. i dun mind making them but ir eally dun wanna eat them. hope i dun get nitemares later.
