cathedral

hello! i had coffee with dinner last night (always a mistake) and couldn't fall asleep until like 3 am, and i woke up with swollen lymph nodes and a little cough so i've been kind of lazy about getting going. i wanted to post really quick about the project i just finished up for school - we had to come up with a concept for a restaurant, design a menu, and make two items from it. i am really happy with the way mine turned out, so here are some photos -



the menu. a friend of mine had a moment of (semi-drunken) genius when he suggested i do a place called cathedral and serve wafers and wine. i played off the idea.




"the blood" - a red wine sabayon with strawberries and honey crisp tuiles




"wafers and wine" - white wine soup with macerated blueberries, blackberry sorbet, and pistachio macaroons

that's all from me for today, but more soon!
