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.

It's been so crazy!

I want to say thank you to all of my fellow readers, and also i am sorry for not posting lately, things have been so crazy!
I left off talking about being in FFP, after that i went to Meat cutting. This class was very interesting. I have to say that i learned a lot, but i also really learned all the things that it takes to be a successful butcher. I learned how to break down a chicken, how to fabricate lamb chops, and how to make sausage. oh and did i mention that it was all done in a refrigerated classroom. It was about 37 degrees everyday. Yes, that cold. It was always nice to leave class and go outside in the 55 degree weather.  It was so warm!
After Meat Cutting,  the term was over and i was headed home for spring break!! Now normally i would be excited to go home for spring, except that my break was the end of February/ beginning of March, so it was still cold at home.
When i got back to school i started a new term, and New World Cuisine. New World incorporates foods from the "Old World", and the "New World". There are influences from Jamaica, Spain, Americas, and many other countries.
The three main things that we had to learn were frying, roasting, and grilling. I had a lot of first time things in this class. First time breaking down a fish, grilling steak, tresing and roasting a chicken. This class i had alot of fun in.
I will post my favorite recipes later. Unfortunately i have no pictures from my class, but i will try to take pictures of the class in there now so you can see the kitchen.
