End of a Quarter for the Holidays

Another quarter came to an end on last Saturday at International Culinary School of Art Institute of Indianapolis. I was blessed that I passed all of my classes. All of us did well. Here is a picture of me and the department director, Chef Marc Aguilera, in Culinary 121 American Regional.
I am really glad to be in a little more advanced kitchen cooking lab this quarter. I got to apply the foundamentals in another class. I was lucky enough to be allowed to use my Chinese chef knife, aka Chinese cleaver. I learned the pros and cons on both this knife and a typical 8" chef knife. Even though I can use both, I would prefer to use my Chinese chef knife becaue of its size, weight, and conviniences. All and all, 3 weeks break from school sounds long, but I'm sure it'll go by fast.
