Welcome

Hello,
My name is Jenna Dawson and for those of you who don't know, i am currently enrolled in Culinary School. I decided to make a blog so that you all could follow along with what i am doing. I am having a great time here, and i challenge everyone to do something that they are really passionate about, because you will feel so much better about doing it.

Principles of Beveragve Service

The last nine days I have spent in lab 324. This is the Principles of Beverage Lab. Now, your probably wondering what this entails, so I will tell you. This is a class that you learn all about the different mixed drinks. Yes, the Alcoholic ones. The school has an underage educational drinking license, where students in the class will be able to sip different kinds of beers, wines, liquors, and spirits. There is also an espresso machine where most of us spent our time before class started. In this class i learned how to read a wine label, how to taste wine for different fruits and the bitterness, and how to pair wine with foods. It was one of the most fun classes I have taken so far. Im really excited to come home and share all the different drinks with everyone.

End of First Term

I have just recently ended the first part of my Culinary Career. I will be finished with all of my academics for the year at about 7:00 Pm tonight! I then will start to pack for my trip home tomorrow. My School is based on a tri-mester program, and so the next two after this will only be cooking labs. It is very exciting! The first lab that i will be taking for 9 days is Principles of Beverage Service. In this class i will be learning how to make 40 different cocktails. So, for christmas i will be able to tell you about it. I will try to update frequently and add recipes for all of you. Thanks everyone for all the support it is really appreciated! For all of you guys in my home town see you tomorrow! ;)
