A Mix of Food Experiences

With Lent in progress, my choices were after school snacks were limited. Any time I wanted a piece of candy or a cookie I had to stop myself. And who wants just some chips or something? So I thought I would make something. Based on the few ingredients I had in my house, I decided on making Pesto-Cheddar Cheese Scones. I had made them for my Culinary 1 Final and thought they would be great to make again. After all, I had more experience and could improve on the production. They were pretty easy to make. Mix the dry ingredients like flour, baking powder, and a little cream of tartar. Once I have the butter mixed in, I would add the cheese and then a mixture of a whisked egg, a cup of milk, and pesto. Once all of it was combined, I kneaded it a few times and flattened it out to 1 inch thick. 20 minutes later at 375○F I had 24 delicious scones.
The breakfast unit in class was great. I’ve always been waking up looking for something to eat, surrounded by ingredients, but no knowledge of what to do with them. Now, pancakes, crepes, multiple forms of eggs: all things I can make for myself and for my family. Of those, I loved the crepes. Obviously, they aren’t the healthiest, especially with the addition of Nutella or peanut butter, but still will be a great occasional treat for breakfast. The egg skills, however, can be put into practice a lot. All of the different methods were so easy quick to prepare, and my house is always stocked with eggs. Now I never have an excuse to skip breakfast.
Earlier in the month, for my birthday, I always choose to go to Vazzy’s, an Italian “Osteria” in Monroe. As always, I can’t resist trying their complimentary cheese bread (similar to little strips of white pizza). As an entrée, I ordered Gnocchi Bolognese, a meal I never would have considered ordering had we not prepared them back in Culinary 1. It was a fantastic meal that I would definitely recommend. The gnocchi were just like the ones from class, and combined with the sauce they were fantastic. It was a terrific dish for a birthday meal.
