Beef Stew

Taking the last of my cooking classes these last few days. Made beef stew, here's the cooking school pic:



Here's mine:




Came out great, we learned how to make the stew sauce from scratch, pumkin cream salad (actually really good) and cheesecake dessert. The dessert was like a quick gelatin cheesecake which is a great quick dessert instead of baking a whole cake if you're pressed for time.

Next up is a japanese meal including grilled mackerel.

This week we have a bunch of dinners including Thanksgiving at a restaurant and probably a second thanksgiving dinner at our friends' place. Then it's our last weekend, Kyoto, then NY!
