2010 Summed Up

2010 was a year to remember.  Things I learned:

I can stand up for myself.  I don't have to put up with being treated unfairly.

Let go of something that isn't working.  Don't stay in a bad situation because you're afraid of change.  If the next opportunity doesn't work out, then at least you're no longer putting up with the stuff you did before.  Plus it makes the next transition easier.

I can bake and store large wedding cakes at home.  I can stack one in my tiny fridge.  And no matter how perfect it looks, a very helpful boyfriend can and often will accidentally stick his finger into it helping you move it.

My friend is very creative and talented.  If I got married soon, I'd definitely ask her to help with the decorations!  Her wedding decorations were gorgeous!

I have a pretty good eye for photography.

I have a great family.  They're funny and generous and I'd love to spend more time with them.

There are pastry/cooking jobs out there that not only give you sick days and vacation, but you get major holidays off.  I'm quickly getting used to this.

I've also learned that I'm in desperate need of a vacation.  I know I've been there twice, but Paris calls to me and I can't ignore it any longer.  This year I'm working hard to save up for 1012.  That's when I get vacation time.  I wonder if I could spend Christmas in Paris?

This is my year to learn and push myself in developing my talents.  I'm going to take advantage of this opportunity.  I'm going to relax into my stride and start getting comfortable doing great things because I want to do amazing things in my career.

So, that being said, if I were to resolve to do something this year, I guess it would be to do more of what I've learned.  Stop letting fear make my decisions.  Be more comfortable in my skin.  Take more risks, do more for and with my family and great friends.

L2O Pain au Lait Rolls

Image
Last year for my birthday, I had the pleasure of dining at L2O, a fine dining restaurant that tastefully uses "molecular gastronomy" here in Chicago. I'd done a stage there, unfortunately it did not work out, but I am still quite impressed with Laurent Gras' food philosophy, how well run and organized the kitchen was, as well as the vibe between the cooks. Anyway, months later I had the pleasure of receiving the recipe for their pain au lait rolls via email from Time Out Chicago . These rolls were so good that I chose them more often than the others that were offered in selection from their bread basket. I'd filed the recipe away, and recently had the pleasure of making some for a dinner party. Initially the recipe was converted from weight in ounces to volume, so when I made it, not only did I double-check the accuracy (I found discrepancies) I converted it to a more accurate gram measure. So, pulling out my measuring cups, I converted it correctly to grams...

Key Lime Pie

I will admit that I don't like a lot of citrus desserts.  I like my lemons sour-I eat them with salt-and I'm not too keen on key lime pies, though my mother loves them.  Making lemon curd is torture to me.  To stand over the pot, stirring the mix of yolks, lemon juice and sugar while smelling the proteins in the yolks coagulate is not a thing of pleasure.  I honestly think it stinks myself, but to each his/her own.  This doesn't mean I don't make the things I don't like very well.  In the world of pastry, you have to cook for your guests and customers, even if that means making something you don't eat. When changing jobs, going into a new kitchen and executing the previous chef's menu, you're torn between keeping their style, and asserting your own (these events are often booked months in advance, and some have tastings where the expectations are established).  So when I read Deconstructed Key Lime Pie on the menu, like a flip book, the ideas flicker...

Taste of Chicago

Image
Bear with me. I took photos when I went yesterday, but since those photos include my friend's daughter, I won't post them here. Instead, I'll feature the biggest reason I returned to the Taste this year: the Original Rainbow Cone. I introduced myself to this addicting delight last year. The only day I had off to go to the Taste was on the last Saturday of the event (I believe) and it was the worst day to go. Everyone and their aunt-uncle-cousin-grandma-greatgrandpa-was there. I had to fight to get to the food, fight my way out to Buckingham Fountain to enjoy the view of the lake and to eat my food without an elbow in my face, then fight my way back into the crowd to start all over again. I don't know how I ended up in the monster of a line for the ORC, but I did know that it had to be worth it, seeing as how I practically had to fight to keep my place in line. When I finally got to the counter, I took my cone back out to free space and began to enjoy the best ...
