followers? maybe i should have kept my mouth shut.

Hello again. feeling really stoked i have like 9 followers now. Paris has continued to get better and better. the sun is out and the days are long. the people are nice, if you know them (some are still assholes though.) My cuisine classes have been going great. I have a lot to work on, but that is a good thing. 3 months til i am out of the school and into my internship, i cant believe it. Here are a couple pics that explain what i have been up to

braised quail with shallot creme puree and jus de volaille
 Me plating pike with choucroute and beurre blanc
 
poire souflee with brandy macerated poire (pears)

pate brioche with caramelized apples

brioche dough filled with french sausage

This is what it looks like when you slice it
handmade puff pastry with mornay sauce and gruyure cheese filling
 believe it or not, i actually had the beef les doubles mix, 2 hamburgers in 1, and am still here to tell the tale
one last picture that has cracked me up since i got here: WARNING ELECTRIFIED ZOMBIES
here are some videos

Hello,
I am back. i have been busy for a bit doin all sorts of cooking. What can i say that is truly new. The sunshine is finally out in Paris for the last 2 days which means the entire town is out in force. tomorrow my class has a dinner service serving 55 people. it will be cool. Two of my classmates and I are on the quail main course dish, so we deboned a bunch of them today. they still had the heads on which freaked a couple people out. they just looked a little sleepy, like they wee taking a dirt nap. Last Friday I made a tart and ice cream from scratch. it looked like this :
the tart looked like this:

deux days deux blogs...2 for 2

Hello again. Big shout out to my first and only follower Meredith. So today was a great day in my personal world. We made French onion soup, or as they call it......wait for it.......Soupe a l'Ognion. Seriously amazing !@#$%. Yesterday we made sticks or fonds from scratch. Just to let let you know, the intent of this blog is just to get some thought off of my mind: some about going to culinary school in Paris, others about music, and generally whatever pops into my head. i also post videos of music i think is cool and videos i think are funny.

Well i guess it all had to start somewhere right?

Away we go i guess.  I am an American from Los Angeles, CA living in Paris for 1 year stating 2 weeks ago.  I am attending culinary school here and it is amazing.  Anyways, if anyone is looking at the post, i already have to apologize for any misspellings, seeing that this damn french keyboard configuration is just plain confusing.  But I digress, here is something cool i found this week.  hope this works.  if not: try,try again......isaiah toothtaker
