Seasons!

Sunday, Seasons Manila Pavillion Hotel

If there's one thing my Dad is hooked on right now (nothing illegal, promise!), it's buying group deals nonstop. We have so much pending purchased deals now that we have no idea how to avail them. One of which we prioritized is from Manila Pavillion Hotel's Seasons.

October 10-13, 2011

Monday-Thursday

Oh how fast time flies. I recently twitted about it being impossibly fast and painstakingly slow at the same time. Is it even possible?

It feels only yesterday when i'm just starting this culinary journey but in fact, it's been roughly 3months. I resigned from my 5year banking job last July 9, 2011 and started with school August 15 and now we're this close to doing practicum. 

We've recently finished our 2nd Baking class and now, we move on with a more advanced culinary experience under the tutelage of *drumrolls!* Chef RJ Ungco!

Baking part 2!

Day 21. Baking
October 3, 5, 7. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday.

Ugh. My old enemy, we meet again. I'm not sure if i've said it before, but i'll say it again. baking. hates. me. I gotta say though, part 2 of our baking turned our pretty okay.

For baking part 2, we tackled bread making. Here, we kneaded dough, waited for it to ferment, rise, degas, etc. BREADS! - where too much of everything is bad bad bad.

Yahoo. Today is my dear sister Jessa's 20something birthday and i woke up at 4am to blow some balloons for her to wake up to. Mom said she liked it. Also slept late night before to finish making the experimental blueberry cheesecake recipe which i (hahaha) got from the box of cream cheese that i bought from the grocery. It turned out pretty okay!

Moving on! =)
