Week 2 – Vegetables (Part 1)

Posted in : CULA 221 on September 5, 2011 by : Heather Williams Tags: almond, broccoli, butternut squash, phyllo, vegetable

So this week we cooked my number one enemy, vegetables!  And of course we cooked the ones I liked the least of all, broccoli, cabbage, squash and brussels sprouts!  I did learn this week that brussels sprouts are commonly mislabeled!  Most people call them brussel sprouts (see the spelling difference??)  But actually its brusselS!

My partner and I had to cook vegetable streudel, broccoli amandine and butternut squash.  Of course this class I was so off and it was the worst class ever for me!  I ended up getting sick during class and had to excuse myself for about 15 minutes.  I got overheated and got lightheaded.  After I came back and recovered, our streudel was so salty that we couldn’t even eat it! YUK! I had the dropsies and kept dropping everything I touched, and to top it all off i cut the back of my hand open when i was putting away my knife!  The cut is very deep and i had to take myself to the doctor on campus to get it checked out!  They had to repair it but I’m OK now!  Hopefully next week will be better!! On to the pictures!!
