….well
today seemed as though it was so so busy, but now that I sit down to write
the blog for today, I guess that it
really wasn’t at all…..just got up and went to class….then came home and
instead of studying, or taking the nap that I needed desperately!, I watched
some tv….but the best part of today? Well that is aside from the fact that I AM
GETTING ON A PLANE TO LONDON TOMORROW!!!! Was cuisine class was today J
J
J…
…downside
to cuisine today? I was lots of seafood….but
goodness gracious I was a brave girl once again today!, seriously, two weeks in
a row of eating some stuff that I really don’t care for….oh well, gotta try new
things so you can find out what you really do like, right dad??
…antipasti
was really really really super good…..it was fondue, that was served in a
really flakey, almost sweet pastry like roll….the fondue we made had Fontina
cheese (my absolute favorite J), butter, milk, and a couple other things that I
know I am forgetting….it was so so good I just wanted to eat that the entire
meal!...
…primi piatti, we again had two….the first one was the part of the meal that I had to be the most brave….you see it
was spaghetti, with clams and mussels….first time eating either one of those
slimy creepy little things…..but to be honest, once I got past the fact the
look of them and the texture, oh! And the fact that the mussel was
ORANGE!.....i mean come on, they are orange? How did I never know that…..that
was totally and completely weird….but once I was able to somehow get past all
of that….the flavor was actually really good….not too fishy, and since there wasn’t
a sauce on the pasta just the water and juices we cooked the mussels and clams
in, it was nice and light…..actually really good J…
…the second primi piatti we made, was another form of pasta in a red sauce that we had made….this was with tomato puree, garlic, onion, a few other things, and pancetta, which is basically diced bacon…..honestly I think that it would have been really really good….but unfortunately, it was really too salty….like that’s all you could think as you sat and ate….
…the
secondo piatto, was pretty good…..Mediterranean cod with capers, red chili,
green olives and a few other things….and the side was slices of potato, boiled
and dressed with parsley and olive oil…..really very good, but it was just very
fishy….so it would have been really good if you liked fish a lot….and many of
the other students really liked it….
…dolce
was really good….we made a tart….we made the dough for the crust and learned
all of that, and then spread a jam or blueberries, raspberries, and I think,
black berries all on the bottom and put more of the crust pieces on the top and
baked it…..then served it with really really good ice cream….i loved it….llight
but very good…..then to finish the whole meal she made us coffee….not normal
espresso but some very very good caffes J…
…not
a totally exciting day I know, but turned into an overall quite yummy class J….tomorrow
evening we are off to London!....I cannot even kinda believe it and I am so
excited!!......its my first out of country big adventure, since being here and

State, Lucas who is studying in England right now….Sunday we have tickets to go
