After being in a weird (cooking) funk for the past couple of days, I was all about being the comeback kid today. The potato pancakes I've made about four times in school now (once with apples!), so hopefully I know what I'm doing. Chef Watts ate a whole pancake, which made me feel really good.
The Linsensuppe, or lentil soup, also came out really nice. Unlike yesterday, I remembered to add the bacon back in...no vegetarian soup today! It also didn't hurt that I brought in my extra bacon fat.
And for the entree today, I braised the Sauerbraten and served it with spätzle tossed in butter and sage. I didn't get a single critique today for any of my dishes, which was awesome...although I'm not too sure about this cabbage I made. I never know how cabbage dishes are supposed to taste because I never eat it (e.g. cole slaw, sauerkraut), so I just tried my best to balance the acid with sweet and salty. Not too shabby.
