This blog is based on the various creations of a Culinary student. You will see the good and the bad. Well..maybe just the good but I will be honest and upfront enough to tell you when I made something and it was just not quite right. I also am going to use this forum to voice my views on various subjects in the food world. I hope this site serves you well and you find something that you like. Feel free to leave a comment!

Jambalaya
As you can see, tonight's dinner was jambalaya. Overall it was okay. To me, it came across as flat, but I realized that I forgot to chop up garlic and add to the trinity. (bell pepper, celery, and onion). I also didn't add the green onions that my recipe called for and I should have. I didn't mise en place as well as I should have but that is what happens when you get kind of in a hurry. I recommend to anyone who wants to make jambalaya and they roast their own chicken pieces, to use thighs. They stay tender throughout the roasting and after being added to the final jambalaya mixture. I had chicken parts (breasts included) that I needed to use up quickly and the breast pieces didn't stay as tender as the dark meat did. It wasn't a horrible dish but it didn't blow me away. Like I said before, I know what I cut out and I know now that those ingredients definitely need to be added.
