I was really disappointed with the turn-out for Maison Akira. Though it was fun, there were so little people! Great food, great time:



Beef Rib-Eye



Special Bento Box


Soup Du Jour: Lobster Bisque


Duck Foie Gras with Truffle Sauce, Mango, and Daikon Radish



Lavender Infused and Chocolate Creme Brulees

We are officially going to Maison Akira for our first event!!

There are only about 15 spaces available and already 10 are taken up! So be quick!

I only reserved a little because I wasn't sure how many people wanted to go...SO HURRY UP, EMAIL ME!

Details
Meet: Karen's house around 11:00 [email me for address and directions]
Leave: 11:15
Date: 11/27
Reservation: 12:30
Where: Old Town Pasadena, Maison Akira
Dress Code: [this is from the restaurant]: "CASUAL ELEGANT" Just dress nicely, it doesn't have to be formal as heck but just look nice-- remember the casual part.
Plan: Eat, Shop, Health Mart, leave
Get back: 5/6-pm-ish :D We have to take into consideration rush hour and the fact that there will be a lot of traffic. So...We might be later than we want.

Drivers: Jackson and....

Since we couldn't get Bistro 561, WE CAN RESCHEDULE THIS EVENT TO WINTER BREAK!!! Well, I've sent emails out-- so please try to make it. :D

IT WILL BE FUN. :D

BTW, Jackson, need more contact info and the updated memberlist.

and Oliver-- since we're rescheduling, you can make it :) ♥

and other people, CHECK YOUR FREAKING EMAIL :D!!!

and KAREN, PLAN THIS BETTER :D!!!

On Saturday, December 16th Culinary Club will be meeting at Karen's house to go to Bistro 561--students from the California School of Culinary Arts are the chefs who run it. Come to my house around 10:30 - 11:00. Email me for directions and address.

IF WE DO NOT GET A RESERVATION--[as they are very popular]--WE WILL GO TO A DIFFERENT RESTAURANT IN PASADENA

Like I said, it's very unlikely that we get a good reservation so people who want to go should contact me ASAP. They are a high-end restaurant that is extremely popular and open on only certain and very picky times. It is unlikely, I repeat, unlikely that we may get a spot. Otherwise, we'll go to:

Akira is a French restaurant with a Japanese flair-- a very high end restaurant and famous with prices ranging from $11 - $25. Very artistic dishes that are simplistic to very intricate. Highly Recommended.

Holly's Bar and Grill [another upscale restaurant open for DINNER only] which features contemporary and artistic creations by Master Chef Humberto Padilla and his staff.

Bistro 45 features yet again, contemporary art flair that is more toned down but still delicious.

CANCELED CANCELED CANCELED

Japanese Culture Club couldn't get the place. So, we're like dead.

Since it was difficult planning this together, I've decided to go solo.

Restaurant 561
is a student-run bistro near the Culinary School of Pasadena. We will be going there December 16th, the weekend before Winter Break [because they will be closed on most of our breaks]. We will go shopping at Old Town Pasadena afterwards. After that, we'll head to the Nature Mart -- an all natural supermarket that exhibits natural-grown everything. Bring extra money for this because I can guarantee you that you will find something you will want to buy from there. :) If we don't have enough people going, I might allow you to invite one friend-- but we still need one more person to give rides. :O

文化の日
Bunka No Hi

Hey! This is your prez again. Tuesday's meeting went pretty well. We had cupcakes for people who came. We also discussed Japanese Culture Day plans!

We'll be having it November 10 on Veteran's Day [lol-- hey no school!]. Also, according to Japanese Culture Club president Nick Katoh, we'll be starting around 3:30/4:00 and will be having it either at Heritage Park...or someone's house. We're expecting the park.

If you guys are interested, EMAIL ME. The clubs can't pay for all the food. We'll need you to bring in some ingredients. Never fear, even though this is Japanese Food, most of the ingredients can be found easily in Asian Markets-- i.e. The Korean Market [HAMNANCHANG?], 99 Ranch Market. IF you really want to go to a Japanese Market, you can go to a really small one next to Puente Hills mall [where Party World used to be]. It's pretty authentic but... it's kind of overpriced [those darn japanese :3] so I wouldn't suggest going there. Since you're pretty much buying ingredients for...20+ people.

Anyways, your emails are like a sign-up sheet! So, yes. :D

By the way, for those who didn't know.. our meetings are in room 145-- MRS. CLARK/SUPIK. It's right around the corner if you go straight down the stairs from the choir room.

MEETING FOR REALSIES!
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24TH

Sorry for canceling on you guys! But this time it's for real. :D Please be there if you want to come to the Japanese Bunka No Hi holiday thing. :D There will be sign up sheets... and MAYBE CUPCAKES

Maybe.

your [irresponsible] prez,
karen

Karen, let's get a real website.

lolz

-Oliver

WELL, if you're willing to pay like 15 dollars a month...
And if you can get one that will say www.dbhsculinary.com without like...www.HOSTERWEBERS.dbhsculinary.com. :] HIGH EXPECTATIONS.

--karen

What's wrong with getting hosting from Worthless and using dbhsculinary.cjb.net or .tk?

-Oliver

JAPANESE CULTURE DAY CHANGED TO FRIDAY NOVEMBER 10!! WE STILL NEED A HOUSE TO GO TO...
Why change the date? Well because November 3rd is the day right before the actual SAT. I'm pretty sure most of the juniors [including myself] want to study for it.

NEXT MEETING IS OCTOBER 16th!

In preparation for Bunka no Hi we need:
1. A house [ The prez's house is small ]
2. Ingredients [people who are coming must contribute at least one thing! Like Nori or Rice or something...]

ALSO...
NEW SECRETARY is [sophomore] ALVIN LEE
and we are gonna sell LOLLICUP pork+rice [maybe]...

That is all. :]

--karen

I feel that you should all join www.worthlessforums.com.

-Oliver


I feel that Culinary Club is in no way associated with worthless.com-- oliver will be historian. That's all he'll ever be.

-Your Prez, Karen

Why, thank you. I feel flattered.

-Oliver

Culinary Club 1st meeting: Rm. 145; Clark's room at LUNCH

Please try to make it-- we will be discussing plans for the month of November.

Also officers-- I don't need to remind you since I have been for the last 3 days because I'm paranoid-- Officer meeting 3:30 afterschool rm 145. :D BE THERE

--karen

If you are reading this entry-- you have reached the DBHS culinary club website-- you're right.. it's not a big site, in fact, it's just a live journal.

Regardless, I am glad you have joined the Culinary Club and embarked on this culinary experience. What you can expect from us is not just another fan club-- rather we will be having trips and projects. We are hoping to compile our own recipes into an end-of-the year cookbook-- and to achieve that goal, we expect to do fundraisers [i.e. cookie-dough sales]. Yeah pretty down-to-earth and uh, rudimentary but what's done needs to be done, right? You can expect to go out to restaurants in both the city, the country, and most likely in our general area sometimes we might go farther. We will also try to become more of a group by occasionally holding cooking parties at someone's house practicing cooking, eating, and just having fun. Guests may come to speak with us such as chefs from restaurants and food critics if we can find the chance.

Meetings are once every month [or more if something big comes up] on Fridays. They are to be in Mrs. Clark's Room 144.

I am sure you will have an enjoyable stay this year as members.


Culinary Club President
Karen Chi <3 :]
