Fun times Cooking at New Town Ambulance

Matt Villamana 11/19/12 Culinary blog The title of my blog would be Fun Times Cooking at Newtown Ambulance. The event took place at Newtown Ambulance Garage on Thursday the fifteenth of November. My fellow EMT partner and I got sick of eating at pizza palace, so we decided to spice things up a bit. We both have very little cooking experience so we had to do something that was quick and easy. We both decided that we would make quesadillas. But this was no ordinary quesadilla night, we kind of made a buffet thing to save some time. The toppings you could have were chicken, onion, tomato, sour cream, and lettuce. The part I am most proud of about the dish would be the chicken. We cut the chicken into tiny strips from the raw chicken and sautéed them with some oil, salt, pepper, and we even threw some minced garlic cloves. After making the chicken we diced the onion and sliced the tomato. We put out all the ingredients on the table including the lettuce. Next we heated up some tortillas in the oven and put those on the table. Finally for anyone who wanted cheese, after we put on whatever toppings they wanted, we put their tortillas back in the oven to melt the cheese. Over all the entire dish was a success, but this wasn’t the best part. The best part was the guacamole; I didn’t make it so I can’t reveal the ingredients but it was killer. It was a little bit spicy but it had a hint of lemon, so it was the perfect match up of success. To sum up my entire dish was a success having little to no cooking experience, the only experience being in culinary. I thought we did a great job overall because not only because we used great team work, but because we had all of our Mise En Place, all of our equipment was well organized utilizing the Mise En Place.
