These are a some of my favorite chefs..

Chef Fleck.. He's probably my favorite of them all.. He's an amazing teacher and explains things very well.. He makes class so much fun and never a dull moment when he's around.. Plus he's one you love to hate because he makes everything look so dang simple.. I'm really sad this quarter is coming to an end because I've really enjoyed having him as a teacher..

He's our charlie and we're his angels..

These are some of the students in my class we have a blast every day..

Chef Crockett.. He's just a funny guy and he gets to the point with everything he is teaching.. There's no beating around the bush when it comes to him..




Now Chef Scholly.. He's just a really crazy man and he's loads of fun..

Sylvia's Birthday!!

Last Wednesday it was my friend Sylvia's Birthday so Erin and I took her to dinner at Olive Garden.. It was lots of fun and we made complete fools of ourselves but it was a blast.. We told them it was her birthday so they told her she could get whatever dessert she wanted but none of us wanted anything so instead they just brought a cup of whipped cream with a candle in it. Whipped cream and us just don't mix. I don't know what it is but I always end up in some sort of food fight..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SYLVIA!! I LOVE YOU!!

THE BIG 2-3..

Ya know we're at that age when nothing really big happens and we're just at a stand still but everyone is expecting huge things from us and it's very overwhelming.. So ya know what I say to you Sylvia.. You are 23 have fun do whatever you want and just ignore everyone that expects something from you because even though you're 23 you are only 23..

Cakes and Tortes..

Ok so really there are no tortes to be shown and I mean the eclair swans don't qualify but that's the section we were working on this past week.. We also made a spongecake which I think is kind of gross I just don't really like spongecake plus it didn't turn out very pretty and I only like taking pictures of things I think turn out pretty.. We also made something called a genoise which is very similar to a spongecake and a chocolate angel food cake which turned out nicely I just didn't take a picture of it..

This isn't the exact cheesecake we made in class.. I made this one at home but it's prettier because I made it colorful..

These are our Eclair Swans.. how cute huh.. I thought it was a creative idea..

This is my favorite thing we have made so far.. It is an Orange Chiffon Cake with an orange glaze.. it is so good and I don't normally even like cake.. It is basically and angel food cake but it also has the egg yolks and a little bit of oil in it. It is so amazing I love it..

Winter Finally Came..

So all Winter we've just been teased over and over a little dusting here and a little ice there but it wasn't until yeasterday the first day of MARCH that we actually got an actual snow storm.. I didn't really believe it would happen but I woke up this morning to about 6 in of snow.. Now I know that for most of you that's not what you would call a major snow storm and I would have to agree but for out here that is what people would call monumental and everything is shut down.. Even the federal government shut down until this afternoon.. People tend to get a little nuts when snow comes and I find it a tad bit ridiculous..
