Back on track, 'study', ze butcher is here, written exam today, beer

This blog update is about today, yes, I'm back on track again!
Today, Wednesday, we had the morning off (to study for the written exam), we had the butcher visiting chopping up a lamb, then the written exam and FINALLY beer.

I studied a bit this morning and went to the cafe, eh, to school at 11.00 hrs. Had a few coffee's with ze locals, changed into my smelly uniform and went upstairs to go to class;

Demo by Mr.Bean. Great chef. Seriously, I think he might well be the best chef in the whole school! Very precise, dedicated, knowledgeable, always willing to explain etc etc.

First, chef showed us how to make a good bearnaise sauce. We did this before in Basic Cuisine, but he showed us again because this will be our technical dish for our exam next Tuesday. Not that difficult, I think.
Then we had a visit of the butcher. He showed us how to chop-up a (big) lamb. Very interesting and an impressive performance!

After the butcher was finished chopping up the thing, chef made a dish with lamb and a Catalan dessert.

Then directly after this class, we did the written exam.

It wasn't that difficult and most people were ready within 30 minutes. I think I did OK, results may be in on Friday.

After the exam we went straight to the cafe and had a few pints...
