Our chef went to New Orleans Thursday and he only comes back on Tuesday. We have a sub who i absolutely love. He's laid back and very chill-axed, no drill sergeant methods of teaching. Not that our subject for yesterday was that hard, tea sandwiches. We had a whole lecture of "tea" and what's served with classic "tea time" and as the British call is "elevenses" (an in between breakfast and lunch snack/tea time, like a daily brunch, if you will). We made some classic, albeit rather boring sandwiches like cucumber, watercress, egg-salad, smoked salmon, curried chicken, and we needed to present two "signature" ones. We were in groups of four and since chola chika excommunicated me from her aura, i was a group of fairly ok people. I am a bit bossy, i admit so we ran with my tea sandwich ideas which turned out really delicious, date and cream cheese filled sandwiches and a peanut, chicken, slices apple open faced sandwich. Tomorrow i go to the Los Angeles Times festival of books to meet some cookbook authors and hopefully get them to sign my book. I wish i could be at the Coachella music festival, but i am a book worm too so i am excited about the book festival (man i am dork). Btw, this is the Reuben from the other day, cholesterol city!
