YUM!

Today in ProStart we decided to go through and do our entire competition menu which includes teriyaki salmon on a bed of sauted vegetables with yam frites on top and chive garnishes, a miso soup, and apple wantons for dessert. Everything turned out really well, except for...when Zach (the head banded one) was getting ready to deep fry the yams, I told him he had too much oil in the pot. So...he took a cup and removed some of the oil. I still thought he had too much, but I didn't say anything. When he put the yams in the oil, it boiled over the pot, onto the stove, and created a small lake...of 400 degree oil. Well, needless to say, since none of us got hurt, this episode was quite humorous.
But, besides that one setback, everything went really well. The competition is looming (sometime mid February) but I think we'll be ready for it.
