I was absent on Tuesday. I wasn't feeling well at all and was really bummed to miss out on a presentation but was happy to come in this morning and find out that Andrew wasn't able to finish his presentation yesterday because his order of brains didn't come in. So this morning he finished up with his demo on fried lamb's brains. Of all the people in the class he would be the last person that I would guess to demonstrate this dish. Hats off to you Andrew for having brains. 
They were actually pretty tasty. But then again breading and frying anything is pretty darn good. Chef made everyone try a bite.
Johnny Cakes was up again or "Lambikins" as chef called him today. He made us a tasty Horchata drink to start that was delicious. I poured it in my coffee and it sure beat any Starbucks drink I've ever had. Almond, sugar, lemon, and cinnamon. Yum. He then made a variation of a Spanish Tortilla and then a garlic chicken dish.
Chef then jumped in and made some Tapas that were wonderful. I learned how the name "Tapas" came to be. In Spain the small dish would be served "on top" of a glass of wine as pictured - hence the name!This little appetizer of grilled asparagus with a walnut sauce and manchego cheese was lovely.
He also made a chorizo in cider that was equally as good.
Off to the kitchen we went to make a few of these Tapas and some Paella and Empanadillas.
We are making our way through Europe.
Goodnight.
