This is our class and our judges after we got the news. We all passed! Of course, Mark and I pulled #1 (we plated simultaneously and first), and we pulled the harder combination: fresh pasta with fennel cream and roasted mushrooms, and a rack of lamb dish with braised artichokes, polenta with goat cheese, a lamb reduction and pickled maitake mushrooms. But, in a weird way it was fun, albeit a bit stressful.
I just picked up my mom from the airport. I ordered Thai food in from Les Ros, and I’m going to crawl into bed by 9:00. The only thing better would be if Carnet was here to join. Tomorrow….
Speaking of, graduation is tomorrow at 4:00. I’m excited. And sad. I don’t want it to end. But, I’m also ready for my next adventure.
Stay tuned for more saltyapron, hopefully from the road in Spain!
