Salad Nicoise

这是我法语课的project -- making a Salad Nicoise,典型的法国南部色拉。好在是分组做,否则我这个从来不做饭的可就得吃C了,那将会给我自打来美全A的成绩上大大抹黑了。

小组最多三人一组,本来我们只有两人--我和另一个中国女孩。那个美国男孩不知何时自说自话的将他的名字加入了我们组,可能他以为中国女孩都是做饭能手,可趁机偷懒吧。可惜了,遇上俺这个厨房窗明几净,冰箱空空如也的懒人,算他倒霉了。不过好在和我同组的另一位中国女孩属于典型的贤妻型的,有她撑腰,我们的project应该也还过得去吧。

今天中午我们约好在safeway碰头,照这菜谱把所有东西一一买齐了,有个老美在还是瞒方便的,我因为很少做grocery shopping,好多东西都不知是什么。safeway还是不错的,我们把做色拉的ingredient一次性全部搞定,然后回我家先尝试的作一次。回头还得在上课的时候当场做,然后由大家品尝并打分,怎么听着感觉象厨师学校,不象法语课呢?Anyway,回到家来,俺们对着菜谱洗的洗,煮的煮,切的切,拌的拌,半个多小时,搞定, 大功告成!以下是我们的成果,还不太赖吧,味道也比我想像的好很多。感觉工序还瞒简单的,以后开party,俺也可以自己作菜了,而且还是法国菜,听上去很小资啊,呵呵!
