WOW This past Sunday was such a great day! Although it's my crazy busy looong day (12hrs on campus) it still was great!
In my Breads of The World class we got to bake rustic country bread, french bread baguettes, rolls and cornbread. All which was very very deelish! Then in my Sugar Arts class the chef showed us the proper techniques for making pulled sugar syrup and melting isomalt. We also got to make our own pastiage and then made all sorts of beautiful shapes with it. Naturally this makes me extra excited for next week where we'll actually get to use the syrup we made and do work with pulled sugar and start putting together our pastiage pieces!!
Adding to the great school day when I got home I received a much awaited call from a very dear friend of mine. It's been 2 years since I've seen her and although we keep in touch through facebook well...it's just not the same. You see, my culinary soulmate met a fabulous handsome man, fell madly in love, got married and moved to OZ!! YUP! She very wisely traded Sin City for the beautiful country of Australia where she is now spreading her wealth of culinary knowledge and mad cooking skills! The people of Tasmania had NO idea what they were getting into when she rolled in to town!LOL! But wait! It's a good thing, because she is now exposing them to tastes and cuisines they've only probably read about and not ever dreamed of tasting. Dishes that to many of us are typical Monday night blah dinners are exquisite elaborate blow your taste buds out of your mouth flavors to them! I can't wait for her to start blogging so that I can share with everyone all the great stories she told me. But more importantly I can't wait to finally have the funds and the time together so that I can make the trip to Oz and embark on wonderful culinary adventures with her! She says we're sisters of the spoon and I couldn't agree more so talking to her and catching up drew to a close a very busy but yet very awesome Sunday! :)
This upcoming weekend posts should be interesting. I'm completely bogged down with tons of homework, overly stressed about my Poli Sci class, have a huge order for a cake & favors. PLUS it's that time again. The Freestyle concert is rolling into town and I of course can not miss it!! So stay tuned!
