Well as much as I feared rice day, everything turned out great. The first dish we made was Wild Rice Pilaf with Brunoise Vegetables. It was a fairly simple dish and used both the stove top as well as the oven. Chef Perez said he couldn't say anything bad about it. I said cool.
Then came Risotto with Parmigiano-Reggiano. This was a little more time consuming. It's a dish that you cannot leave while preparing. I almost got there but it needed a little more chicken stock. The end product (after the chicken stock) was extremely tasty and I will definitely be trying this at home.
And now for the best news. I got my grades for week 2 and I'm happy to report that I did better than I did in week one with a 94.4/100. That's another A. I'm thrilled because I really didn't think I did that well. I actually got 2 20/20 for my dishes in week 2. Hollandaise day and Lasagna day. Chef Reyes told me I was doing a great job and I'm right on track. Hallelujah!
