What had happen this week

Last weekend on the 9th August (National Day) we went to Perth, Ontario for a Garlic Festival thats held every year. I didn't celebrate National Day in fact i'm sorry to say this *ashamed* but i totally forgot about it i remembered on Friday but on the day itself i totally forgot! The Garlic Festival was a blast! The first group (Victor, Chloe & Nicholas) made handmade garlic infused pasta, garlic clafouti and garlic ice cream. Than our group made a pork stew, couscous salad and garlic chocolate chip cookies. The organizers was thrilled, they really like what all of us did. Most people liked ours better coz we have meat and there's enough food to go ard, and for seconds. Thanks Lauren for taking the pictures! =)

On Tuesday we had class, i made petit four sec (small dry oven). We made pistachio macaroons, petit fours pate d'amande (its a small almond cake with cherries and pineapple) & sable guitare. Its my second time making the macaroons and it was good. Than we had lotsa time left so we had to practice molding the chocolate bonbons (candies). My tempering and was good, the thickness is also good, now lets just hope everything will go well during the practical exam! We got our results back for the written exam i got a 73 wuhhooo!! =)
