We are now back in the kitchen and I am so so so happy for that! The new class is Laminated Doughs, and we've started with Puff Pastry. This really is not my favorite thing in the world, but I don't care because I miss being in the kitchen so much! My new chef is much more of a challange than my previous instructor. She is meticulous and demanding and it's great. I actually feel challanged for the first time. She doesn't like to hold your hand through anything. Today she gave us a list of what we had to do, which was 5 different things, and gave demo on only 2 of them. It was actually great because it forced everyone to use there brains for once to figure out what to do. Everything turned out great. Today I completed four things:
a Pithiver
a Fruit Bar
a Tarte Tatin,
and a Napoleon(which turned out a little poofier than it should have. heh heh).
None of these things are particularly difficult if you have to patience to deal with Puff Pastry.

Looking good! Am eating breakfast at my desk (not so good) and viewing the lucious creations you have made in class. At least I know there is a better food world out there while I eat my biscuit & gravy. Thanks Joanna!
