Resturant day!
The last class before finals is "resturant day" where our class is divided into five groups of five and we all cook a three course meal for another group. We were randomly assigned groups and i ended up i a group full of guys with on of the guys i probably get most irritated from in the entire class. What should i call him???hmmm....his name (first and last) is SO common so I'll just call him by another common name, george. George is those nerds that aren't cool. i love nerds, at least i usually grow to love them, but no, George is an uncool nerd, making you feel stupid by always inserting his "words if wisdom" when sometimes he's completely wrong. He's annoyingly always prepared for class with all the latest high tech gadgets. He also wanted to be the dictator of the group by deciding on what the menu should be, but actually, I was elected to be "manager" by another member so i guess its my ultimate decision making. I dont know why he elected me, maybe cause i was the only girl. Anyhow, i need some ideas for this meal. I thought for an appetizer we'd make thin crusted gourmet pizza with sage or rosemary or figs and goat cheese or something fancy shamncy like that. The boys (or should i say, George) wanted this roulade of beef. i'll give them that, but i would have prefered something with seafood like Paella. anyhow i am stumped on dessert. we need to make it in two hours so nothing like cheesecake or tiramisu that needs at least a day of chilling. Also, we need to make everything so stuff like ice cream and canned whiped cream is out. I was thinking chocolate mousse but word of mouth is that everyone else is doing that. so any ideas????

Tarts!!
cookies! :p
or something like fruit... parfait?
meringue shells and fruit! with chocolate on top. or not.
pumpkin pie? goes well with the season, no? or a pumpkin pudding.
Pudding made with silken tofu and fruit pureed together is also amazing.
...can you tell i'm just listing stuff i like to eat, not "fancy" things?
NO FRIUT TARTS/pies. = gross. chocolate tarts, maybe?
You could do an apple crisp or baked apples with cream (if you can make that?) and walnuts and a syrup? You could do the mousse but instead of chocolate do a unique one like pumpkin and ginger or cinnamon. Or a wine poached pear? That's all I can think of. HTH!
I agree that you should do something seasonal -- like an apple/pear strudel or something? Mmmm strudel is sooo good.
thanks guys i'l let you know what we decided onece i meet up with my group!
