Butterflies in the WInd

Have you ever felt how quick the time flies?

Time flies, I've always agreed with that. However, In recent years I felt it pass the quickest....16, 17, 18 and now 19. I felt like in no time, if I'm not watchful, I'll be an old lady before I achieved anything. =/

This semester is very stressful since I have the 'good fortune' for the Dean as my lecturer. Our practical class is where each of us take turns every week to be the manager and in turn manage an actual restaurant of 30+ pax. 

I am the first MOD (manager on duty) and the problem is that he expects things to go smoothly but he hasn't even met us - his students yet (for briefing..tutorials). 

I am hoping that things can go smoothly as this subject is  100% coursework which means we have to do well each and every week. With him...I somehow doubt it. Pray that I will manage well...

On another topic...today I made French Onion Soup with Garlic Bread (serves 4) for breakfast. Just so you know...don't be intimidated by this recipe. Its one of the easiest to prepare and it is a personal favourite of mine. As usual, I didn't manage to get a picture again as it was gone is a split second.

Ingredient

1/4 cup butter

3-4 nos onions, sliced thinly

1 tsp sugar

1tbsp flour

2 1/2 cup of chicken stock

1 tbsp of white vinegar

Basil leaves

Method

Melt butter and sauté onions for about 10 minutes or until soft and brownish (not burned). While sauté-ing, add sugar. After that, stir in flour until it blended. Add water, stock and vinegar (Can be substituted with white wine if you have any). Reduce for about 10minutes and it should be ready to serve. 

In the meantime, garlic bread is a simple process of crushed/ chopped garlic + butter + basil leaves spread on normal everyday bread. It is then toasted in the microwave oven till brown =] Be careful as it is brown not black. 

P/S: Do be advised that each serving is western sized portion.
