My last few weeks in Florida!!

So my time here has been amazing and i wouldn't trade it for the world. I won competitions build huge slip and slides on the beach that dont really work well hah..another story for another time, and used a dish washer for the first time!

So the plantation has this mystery box thing where they give you three items and u have to make a meal with it...4 apps 4 salads 4 entrees. its too much to write about but in the long run ....i kicked ass!! then i found out theres more, i could continue to other rounds to win big bucks and a fully furnished kitchen...that would have been amazing....so needless to say i went on to where i am now in Disney for the Florida state cook off... i lost last night but it was amazing...like there was at least 300 to 400 people watching me cook and tasting my food and asking me tons of questions. i love to sing when i cook so that also brought people to my station. but today im going to spend it in Disney and just relax and have fun...i will write more about it when i finish my stay.

We had an idea, we thought it would be cool to build a slip n slide on the beach into the ocean...so we started at 9 in the morning and finished it around 12 noon. We didn't have any shovels or tools we had our hands and pitcher to put water in...somewhere along the way a guy asked if we wanted to use his shovel so we did...i tell u now it was fun but i totally forgot about the tide change so when we built it half was in the water the other half was out...than low tide none was in the water lol and sand was all in it...it hurts to slide on sand!

My friend emily has more pics of my falls and stuff its funny too!


Last story...the magic of the foam!!
So i have never used a dish washer in my life and i saw that i had one in my house..now if you know me and my lazy self of coarse im gonna use it. So i loaded it up and i put in the soap tablet...than i put in this bleach soap...than i put in hand soap...than i put in washing machine soap, i guess i was hoping that with all the soap it would make it extra clean. life doesnt work like that i set it and walked away from it for like a good hour. i come back out to check it and there is foam all over my kitchen floor and it would not stop either it just kept coming... i have pics but im to lazy to upload them that ill do it later, and when i say later i mean prob not till i get home to ny!

work

So i love the Falcons nest and the last couple of days me and my chef have been having prank wars... the first night he put ham on my bike so that the animals would come to me......so i seran wrapped his car!!! Next he places my knife in a bucket of water and froze it....the next day i walk in and im like where is my knife.....now the best part of this whole story was....while he was laughing at my knife, he left all his knives in his other car so while my knife was defrosting we couldnt do any prep work!!!

It is my last week at the nest and i will miss it alot but before i give them a final depart were having a party with all the cooks and wait staff..so im pretty excited for that

My Birthday....part 1

So if you all don't know yet, my birthday is next sunday and of coarse im going to disney 4 free. I get to see my brother who i never see and our blog stories will only grow more and more!! i have many stories to tell ones that my brother doesn't even have up on his blog.
Ones such as the "The Shedding Beast" and
"Why Only Bring One Pair of Underwears With You ON Vacation?"
"Dropping the Mayo".
The next post i wanna have is honoring the best of the best of my 20 years of being alive!!! But that wont happen till i come back from disney.

Chef what?

So i see my brother anthony has reciepes of foods that he's made....don't follow them remember geeks can't cook only fat people can like me. Heres some foods that ive made in my Culinary career.


this first one is a dill cream cheese wrapped with a smoked salmon with reduced basalmic vinigurette and oil



this second one is a vegan salad with heart of palm and ardichoke filled with roasted red pepper and braised beet hearts



this is a cream of roasted tomatoe soup with a rosemary cream sauce on top

Now i like to make my presentation as good as i can, because if the presentation isnt good people work have the guts to try the food.


now im slowly getting into desserts this is a orange creme brulee and you've all have seen the frazzle
im not really sure why i chose the culinary career but i say i don't love it. I know my mom was a huge influence in it and i love cooking for her and with her. Im not gonna lie i've never been this far from my mother and i do miss her....ok im off to work. pc
