Sauteed chicken breast (lightly dredged in seasoned flour) and a white wine pan sauce (white wine, chicken stock, shallots, garlic, fresh thyme, and butter) with yukon gold mashed potatoes and a vegetable medley (zucchini, yellow squash, red onion, red bell pepper, roasted carrots and turnips). Winner. HOWEVER, I just grabbed a random bottle of cheap white wine for the sauce - Beringer Moscato (and all the whinos go "WHAT?!?!"). Moscato is a sweet wine. Super sweet. The sauce actually worked out really nice with all the other ingredients countering the sweetness, but I sure did pour myself a glass of that stuff to drink. It was like drinking Kool-Aid with dinner. Yowza! We followed that with some vanilla-poached pears (recipe courtesy of Alton Brown). Which were also sweet, but delicious.
We got our quizzes back in Sanitation today. 107. BOOM! Nailed another quiz. We talked about pest control. We got an amusing story about finding a cockroach in some rice at a Chinese joint; a story about how at one place she had to run to the back of the dry storage to turn on the lights and it took her about an hour to get up the courage to do so because she could hear the mice scurrying; but we did not get the great rat story Miss Jane had promised. So, needless to say, I was a little bummed about that. See ya tomorrow!
I really need to hear Miss Jane's rat story. Like, really really. Oh! Your dinner looked amazing! I want to be your roommate.
