Wine and Food Gala

I had wonderful time at my culinary school yesterday! My school hold an event called wine and food gala, all of second year in my program have to be involve in it because it is our project that chef will grade on. It is not about winner or loser, just show we can entertaining guest and make good food with wine.
     It had cost 65 dollars to get in, and all tickets sold out so about 200 people attended it. For 65 dollars you get to try several wines and many savoury food. All of the food were in tiny pieces so people can try different food.
    My group and I showed up at 12pm to prepare food. I thought it would take us all day to finish, It had only took us almost 2 hours. Other people in the lab were surprised to see us finish this early, it was still chaos for them.
    It was pretty bored waiting until 5pm so we can put food on the table for chef to grade. I had no interpreter for this cuz we only just cooking food and no chef giving lecture. I don't mind but still it would be nice to have someone to talk to. I do talk with other people in my group but a bit difficult trying to communicate on the cell phone.
   Speaking of cell phone, funny things lot people in my group talked to me with their cell phone. The chef responsible for that lab yelled at us for take phone out. Then they told her that we use it to chat with me, chef looked embarrassed and said "carry on." At least that what my friend said. (still I bet my friend take advantage of that to look at the Facebook and make it look like they talk to me haha)
   I think I did well, at least I hope so. I came up with the duck recipe and it was so good, I am quite proud of it.

My groups' recipes were:
Seared Duck Breast on Cornbread with Red Currant Compote  (yummy!)

Red Pepper Cheesecake with Apricot Compote on a Pita Corstini (sweetie!)
