Day 8 - French Onion Soup & Sandwiches

We were told by the chefs that Day 8 was designed to be hectic. Today we made French Onion Soup, Bolognese Sauce, Fresh Pasta Dough, Reuben on Rye with Braised Sauerkraut and Russian Dressing and a Croque Monsieur with Whle Grain Mustard. We're saving the pasta and sauce for Days 9 & 10 but we had to turn in the soup and sandwiches today.

My French Onion Soup was very tasty and got great marks from the chefs. I was pretty sure Chef Perez was going to say that there was too much pepper but I like a lot of pepper and so does he so he didn't say anything but "...very tasty. "


Because the sauce and the soup had to cook for a long period of time, I rushed the sandwiches at the last possible minute. They both came out great (although the Rye Bread was a little dry for the Chefs) but I didn't get pictures because I turned them in before snapping a picture. They were both quite impressive and tasty.

Day 9 is going to be very fun for me. We're finally making stuff that I like to eat. Pasta!
