Family meal: I'll miss you.
Today was the final day of the rotation—and it was a good one. We roasted six legs of lamb (which a few of us deboned yesterday) stuffed with garlic, rosemary and oregano. I was skeptical—especially considering the pungent smell coming from the oven—but it was amazing. Seriously. Crispy skin and juicy meat... what more could a carnivore ask for?
Per usual on buffet day, the family meal was overshadowed by the abundance of food on the opposite side of the room. It should be: The buffet team plans an elaborate meal for a week in hopes of wowing the school. This week's team settled on the various neighborhoods of Manhattan for its theme.
For yesterday's family meal, we made a version of boeuf bourguignon and served it with polenta. To be honest, it wasn't my favorite day, as I had to man the salad station. What a mindless task. However, I fully understand we have to pay our dues.
Tomorrow is production. Hopefully the family meal mascot (a grumpy French chef PEZ dispenser) will continue to watch over us.
We're gonna need it.
That grumpy pez dispenser chef is "Skinner" from the Pixar movie Ratatouille....never thought they had pez dispensers from one of my favorite movies.....I will have to keep a look out for them!!:) I bet that leg of lamb you prepared was delicious...and I also bet you are thrilled that your day was finally finished after manning the boring salad station! ugh! I hated when I got stuck there too...
