Shin's Vegan Lovin': Culinary Classes & A Reminder

Hello everyone! If you've friended me on Facebook or have 'liked' my page, you may be aware that I have been trying to go into some culinary classes. The college and system that I had initially tried for was not good at all - and so I just got stressed out and never had a chance to go. Thankfully, however, thanks to a new eye-opener, my guidance counselor and a great teacher I have been able to start some classes and lessons. You can't believe how happy I am and how much my own confidence has raised. I am really proud of myself for never giving up - and I am so thankful to all of you that have taken the time to listen to and support me. :)

Today was quite fun, I was the first to arrive to class (as usual) and while I was a touch nervous there, I knew that I was in my element. We started off with gathering a few ingredients for my first class period, and since my teacher was both aware and very interested in my veganism he decided to give me a vegetarian recipe. It was for Asian Sesame-Soy noodles and sadly we didn't have a lot of the exact ingredients, but it is a very quick stir-fry dish so my partner and I went to work with finding ingredients for tomorrow's recipe. When he came around to check for?ingredients that he needed to buy and to suggest substitutions, I suggested mixing vinegar,?teriyaki?sauce,?brown sugar and molasses together for the missing dark brown sugar and?soy sauce. I hope it turns out well although I really don't?like sweet foods (surprising, huh?).?The next cooking class I had, I volunteered to make?some simple?naan bread and I?actually have to make naan?bread for someone else as well, tomorrow. So I am thinking that I should probably do all of the?preparation?(kneading, rising ect.), slice them into equal but separate pieces per each recipe and have the other girls grill them.?I may be using some?vegan ghee?from non-dairy margarine as well, with?cilantro for decoration. This food blogging has really?paid off!

Well, that's it from my adventures for now!?Hope you guys have as great of a day as I!
