Today we have read Chapter 2, from Beef Stroganoff to Waldorf salad.  We found out that it is useful to know some French for this course, as many French words are used in Gastronomy, such as Hollandaise sauce and Maitre d’hotel.  On the right: picture of Egg Benedict (yummy!!!).

Tomorrow, we will finish chapter 2 + watch a video: Fawlty Towers, Waldorf Salad episode.

Announcement: Dr. Bongkosh has added a bakery lab on Tuesday morning at 8:30 in kitchen 19-803.  No time conflict with Intensive English, since Ajarn James has cancelled the class on Tuesday morning.  Therefore you have Gastronomy class on Tuesday 8:30-11:00 in the kitchen + 11:15-13:45 in kitchen/classroom 19-1002 + Wednesday 11:15-13:45 in classroom 19-1002.
