College


So I have been at school for almost 2 months now and I am loving it! I am learning a lot of new recipes, skills and everything. My first class on Monday is Basic Culinary Knowledge. This is probably the most boring class. The professor is ok, but the information is not that interesting:( Then I have Baking and Pastry Level 1 on Monday as well. It is 4.5 hours but it goes by quickly. Half of the class is theory, while half of the class is practical. I LOVE it, except for my partner who is a real bitch! Lol, ANYWAYS... I also had an online course, Food Safety and Sanitation on Mondays. It was simple... I just hope I passed:) On Tuesdays I have Basic Culinary Skills and Techniques. It is a nice class, and the chef teaching it is hot!!! LOL... On Wednesdays I have Nutritional Theory and Writing(which is also on Fridays). Half of the semester was Garde Manger Theory, and the other half is Nutritional Theory. We just had the Garde Manger exam last week, and I am almost positive that I passed:) I am not looking forward to Nutritional Theory though. It sounds REALLY boring, but oh well... I can push through it I guess:) Writing is simple. I can pass that class with my eyes closed and my hands behind my back. Thursdays I have Culinary Business and Management. The teacher is great! She is really funny and likeable. And she is Dutch, and taught some of us, a few weeks ago on a field trip, how to make some delicious Dutch Apple Pie. I LOVE DUTCH APPLE PIE! Then on Fridays I have Writing again, and I have Garde Manger practical. That is such a fun class. The chef is a wacky German guy who likes making sexual references every chance he gets. So anyways, I love the classes! There are also some pretty hot guys at school, but most of them are not gay or big:( Which sucks but oh well. There is a guy from bearforest.com that goes here though, but we have never talked. I am definitely growing and definitely loving it. Anyone want to help me love it? Hehe

The Beauty That is Thanksgiving


Hey guys! I told you that I'd update more regularly:)
Classes are going great! I finally have my ass into gear and ready to kick some butt in these classes. I have figured out that I won't really have time to stuff myself as much as I used to, especially during the week, but on weekends and holidays I will definitely pig out as much as possible:@) I have also decided to eat healthier. I want to live a long and happy life with my boyfriend, and he deserves a healthy man. So if I lose weight oh well, at least I will feel better. I am also going to start doing push-ups each night before bed so my arms can get stronger. I plan on keeping my gut though, so don't you fret, and don't you frown.
Last week's survey asked what was your favorite holiday, and the majority of you said Christmas. I have to agree with you about Christmas being the best holiday. I love presents, and family, and decorating, and eating, and the smells, and the snow... It is a brilliant holiday. BUT another brilliant holiday is Thanksgiving, and Canada's Thanksgiving just so happens to be this weekend! YAY! Thanksgiving is my favorite pig out holiday simply because I LOVVVVE turkey, and I LOVVVVE pumpkin pie, and I LOVVVVE mashed potatoes. MMMMM. Sorry, I just drooled a bit hehe. I will definitely take some pig out pictures this weekend:) The food isn't the only thing that I am excited for this weekend though. I get to see my sister and her boyfriend. I get to see my guy. And I get to see my doggie:) I <3 my doggie.
So all you Canadians have a phenominal Thanksgiving! And those of you that aren't Canadian, have a great weekend. And even though you won't be stuffing yourself with Thanksgiving dinner, you can at least stuff yourself with many other things. Love you all...
