My first black box competition

I had my first ever black box competition at my cooking class tonight. I love to cook, and I think I'm usually pretty good at it, but this was a very humbling experience.

I seemed to forget some of the basics of cooking...like tasting as you go and adjusting seasonings. I didn't even taste my veg until after judging and it was waaaay undercooked. The taste was good, but what a rookie mistake. I'm still pretty proud of what I put out there...as I was running around trying to put everything together the sweat was pouring down my face and I was almost panicked.

I'm really glad to have had the chance to do this at least once in my life, and I am definately going to try the recipe I came up with again in my own kitchen to see if I can perfect it!!
