"It's a Hen, not a Drag Queen"

That's what the chef tells you when you put too much green garnish in your cornish game hen's cavity....of course he didn't say that to me, as you can see, my hen is tastefully dressed, but he did say it to a friend of mine, which made us laugh.

This is the cornish game hen, roasted, and served on a bread "coffin" filled with liver farce (like pate). If you look at the closeup you can see it better....served with a side of pommes pailles, which is basically a fried potato of the julienne size. It was a good day, though my chicken was mildly underdone due to lack of searing on the leg side, but otherwise it was good. I happened to have a lot of fun today, so that must count for something.

Our exams are coming up in about a week or so, so this weekend will be spent studying and practicing things that need work...so if some of you could come and eat the things I need to make, I'd really appreciate it.
