Days 60 and 61. Lets Do This

Days 60 and 61.  Lets Do This.  Day SIXTY Monday was hard to get out of bed, but I had to remind myself that I needed to do laundry as all my school clothes needed to be washed and ironed for class this afternoon. That turned into cleaning my room, making food, ironing,and other stuff around the house to keep me busy until I was shocked to see the time.  I've never left so late, and I still made it on time.  First class of the day was a tech class, where we watched Chef make some confections.  He didnt teach us anything about them, he just made them.  He said that we would make them in superior, so why we watched him make them I have no idea, but they were mighty tasty.  Caramel Mou, Nougat (way better than a Big Hunk), and Fruit Jellies.  The caramel mou I could eat by the bucket full.  It was not chewy like the store bought caramels, but when I bit into it, it melted in my mouth.  Ahhh....so so good.  After that in our next class, we made our Sabrina Cakes.  It could have been better, it could have been worse, but we did it.  It still doesnt taste like much....double the fruit when (if) I ever make it at home.  Came home too late, ate cake too late, talked to Lisa too late, but it was all worth it.

Day 61.  Tuesday. I got up and jogged this morning.  It was good to get out on the old trail today.  I was afraid it was going to be too cold, but once jogging starts, I am quick to warm up.  I love the jogs to clear my head, and get me ready for the day.  We had two classes today, a demonstration, and a practical.  In demonstration, it was a recap on somethings, and new things as well.  We made fruit cake....for the love of anyone who loves it....bless you.....it reaks of rum...and the candied jellies are no good either....the chefs are baking/keeping it for us tell the term ends.....they have so much alcohol in them it preserves them indefinately....think about that the next time you eat one.  We also made a pastry crust, why I dont know because we didnt make anything to fill it with....I took them home to make banoffee pie or something.  Also, we piped rosettes and shells, practiced our chocolate/icing writing to put on cakes.  Two of our upcoming exam dishes have writing/piping on the top of them.....so practice is really needed...as well as spelling practice.  Fraisier.  Not Frasier or Fraiser...I had to practice this a lot.  We also made marzipan roses.  A marzipan rose is also on two of our exam dishes.  It was nice to have practice time today, because it is nice to be familiar with the parts before the whole dish is presented, starting tomorrow.  Came home, had another piece of cake, instead of studying I am going to bed.  This blog is getting boring.  Too tired to write about the funny stories.
