November and December was a rather busy time for us, maybe that is why we haven't been able to blog so much. We did everything - pie sales, cookie platters, ServSafe course, Winter Festival, gingerbread houses, and many catering jobs.
During the pie sale was a major success - we sold over 250 pies! The pies included pecan, pumpkin, apple strussel, chocolate mousse, and a pumpkin cheesecake.
The cookie platters were for the HCOE holiday party at the Riverlodge and we baked and plated about 45 dozen!
As a class, we took a ServSafe class at the CR unit in Eureka. I passed with a 83% and am now officially ServSafe certified! !! [:
Also, we worked at the Winter Festival that our school's Travel Squad put on. We had a bake sale and had a 'decorate-your-own-cookie' stand. That was plenty of fun and, well, festive.
One of my favorite activities this past holiday season was making our gingerbread houses. Sammy, Kelsie, and I did a 'Charlie Brown Christmas' themed gingerbread house, complete with fondant sculptures of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and Woodstock.
The many catering jobs we had were the Healthy Start lunch, an AP Teacher lunch, an 80th birthday party, and plenty of staff lunchs.
We are now working on our International Food History and Food Customs project. The country I got assigned is Argentina. I am looking forward to learning lots of new information about the Argentina cuisine, along with the other countries my classmates are doing.
