The Final Day of My Project

I showed my creme burlee to my advisor and friends, and they loved it so much that they couldn't stop eating it! I was so happy that I made something that they loved. I feel very appreciated and proud of myself.

I hope to make more recipes soon and keep writing (actually, typing) about them.

Mushroom Quiche and Creme Brulee

Yesterday, on our day off, I had a friend over and we made a mushroom quiche (my last dish of the school year) and creme brulee again for other people to taste test. I wanted to make my best dish (or favorite) and show it to my advisor, so I picked creme brulee. The consistency wasn't what it should have been last time I made it, so I tried to make it again. I wish I would have kept it in the fridge over night before I caramelized the top, but it is still very good.

As for the mushroom quiche, it turned out really badly. It was all mushy and gooey and gross! I thought it would be like an omelet in pie crust, but it didn't turn out that way, I even cooked it way longer and it didn't do anything. Someone used the cream for my recipe and my dad had to go get some more at the grocery store. I think the recipe went bad when the egg and the sauteed mushroom mix had to sit out until my dad got back. I really wanted it to turn out right because I love quiche.

Today I had to pack up my creme brulee, that was in the fridge, and bring it to school for my advisor to taste test. He still hasn't tasted it yet by my friend, Emily, loves it.

I hope I can still cook from Julia Child's cookbook in the summer. I can't wait until school ends (less than one week until it is over)!

Until next time :)
