Cooking Class Is Where Food and Fun Meet

 

It has been over two months now since my older sister, my niece and I enrolled in a cooking class. Yes! Cooking class! I’m very sure I made the right choice because aside from the new skills I have been learning and a chance to bond with my sister and my niece, I also find the time to do things outside my day-to-day professional work as a Developer, which I think is a stress-reliever.  

I couldn’t stop remembering when I was little, I always wonder to join a swimming class but because of limited means, I only got a chance to have it when I was in college. ^_^v… in Physical Education 102! Sure it is not too late for anyone to fulfill one’s dreams. *What are your little dreams?*

This is the first time we wore our uniforms; we lovedit sooo much. Beside me is our Chef instructor.

 

This photo could tell how we are taking the chopping board seriously! Hahaha! Being in the kitchet for long straight hours, standing, in a room with high temperature, time-pressured… Bow na bow na ako sa contestants ng Top Chef!

 

Here’s my Grilled Cheese.

 

Here’s our Chocolate Mousse.

 

Here’s Food Carving Day!

Here’s Chicken Lollipop, Mayonnaise, Béchamel and Grilled Sandwich + Carrot Cake!

 

Here’s Makisushi and Vegetable Tempura

 

Here’s my niece, me and my sister holding our masterpieces during the examination.

 

Our mom would be very proud of us. We may not recreate her heavenly food the way she did it, but everything we have done and wish to do are all dedicated to her. I know she’d be proud of me even more when I have my own family.

 

Projects Week!

Since we have students here at home, it makes us pretty much obligated to help them out with their not-so-easy projects!

Jaimie is helping out with Ate

Only the ("sapal") peeling is needed for this project. At dahil sa project na to, isang katerbang minatamisang saging ang dapat naming ubusin... meron pa yata sa ref namin hanggang ngayon! :-)) The mixture is made by boiled banana peeling, corn starch, used paper and water.

Tatay made the molding box, para maghugis na cork board. Nilagyan yung box atleast 1/2 inch ang thick.

I had to help out with flatting the mixture. Ayan,mukha nang cork board!

It was fun! ... but the banana peeling was kind of like a sticky thingy on hands. I had to rinse off 5 times with Safeguard and Joy Ultra!
