This week is a short school week. We only have school until Wednesday. Also Rex, one of my instructors is off for the week so we just have John.
I got to school today and looked at our board with our daily assignments on it and my first clue that it wouldn't be a fantastic day was that it hadn't been updated since last week. That's when we found out Rex was gone. We all waited for an hour and a half before John came in to try and get us started on something. None of us had anything specific to do so we were supposed to just find something to do. That morning we had received a huge shipment of nectarines and he asked us to find something to use them in, so Stefani and I paired up and decided to make a nectarine and pineapple trifle. (Okay, Stefani wanted to do nothing and originally picked french toast ... I wanted something to do for longer than 30 minutes so I picked the trifle)
It was supposed to be an orange and nectarine trifle but we were out of oranges so we decided to switch to pineapple instead.
The cake itself had some whole wheat flour in it which made me nervous. I didn't know what it would do to the texture of the cake. It was a simple cake with a pineapple juice/puree in it making it really sweet. It tasted pretty good, but as I thought it had a funky texture and wasn't very pretty.
Also trifles are traditionally really creamy and this weirdo recipe didn't have any cream it in at all. It was layered with cake, fresh pineapple and nectarine slices and an orange meringue for the cream.
About halfway through, Stefani decided that she didn't feel well and headed home leaving it to me to finish. I was perfectly fine with that as she didn't seem to want to do anything and just stood around and I like to move while I'm there...
Anyway, we refridgerated the trifle and tasted it, and honestly it tasted fine, but nothing special. I would probably not make it again.
All in all, today was pretty pointless. All I hoped for was a better rest of the week.
