Day 22 - Sick Day and Recap

Well the cold that was coming on yesterday came in full force this morning. I was running a fever and couldn't really focus but I didn't want a 0/100 so I went to school and just tried to do my best. Today was all recap.

First up was Cream of Tomato Soup.

Chef Reyes said it was almost there but it needed more Bechamel to help with the taste, color and texture. But I'm pretty sure it was graded a 17 or an 18. Much better than a 0.

Next came French Onion Soup.


Chef Perez said too much pepper and he noticed I cut the onions across the ribs instead of with the ribs like I was supposed to. I'll chalk it up to the fever but again. I'm guessing it was graded a 17 or an 18 so I'm more than fine with that.

Last came Crepes Suzette.


Last time I did this dish I overcooked the sauce because I was mesmerized by the pretty blue flambe' flame but this time I nailed it. The only slight problem Chef Perez had was that he thought the crepes were a bit thick but other than that, spot on. I'm guessing it got a 19 or maybe a 20.

The Chefs let me leave an hour early so I could get to bed and Chef Reyes told me that if I needed to miss tomorrow he would give me a 50/100 instead of a 0/100 because he could tell I was really sick. As much as I appreciate it, I really want to get some more recap in.
