Day 19

So today I was making a Hollandaise Sauce, Pan-Fried Haddock and something esle that fails me. Either way it was a pretty easy day. So easy in fact that I gave myself a few other jobs to do. Apparently I've become a bit famous (nerdy perhaps) about this. So I decided to do a Creme Brulee and make some more Marmalade and some yeast bread. All in 3 hours, but it took four hours. But I'm nt bothered, all the main courses were sent out to the table on time. And goddamit, I paid a lot of money to come here, there's no way that I'm going to get lazy. I want to get as much out if this as possible.

The Creme Brulee and Marmalade are a 24 hour thing, so I'll let you know how I get on with those tomorrow.

But the Pan-Fried Haddock was delicious, the less said about the Hollandaise Sauce the better. Basically it split. And the teacher was right next to me when it happened and she had no idea why it went, but we're going to make it again first thing tomorrow morning to make amends. I'm also one step closer to being able to fillet a fish effectively. There are 2 skills that I think everyone should know how to do:- bone a chicken and fillet a fish. As doing these will open everyone up to cheaper and fresher food. When I get back if anyone wants to know ow to do it, I'll gladly show them.

Talking of tomorrow morning, I've got to be up at 6:30 again to pick the herbs. Going to be a very long day.
