School
So I haven't written in a whole because there isn't really anything to write about. I'll touch on the interesting parts though. After day one we just had another day of class. Nothing special. This class is a lot more interesting Than the last class. We are actually learning abou something. The next day, we will call it thursday, we had a demonstration in the morning from one of the directors. He cooked around 6 dishes for us like crepe suszette and a beef dish, a chicken dish, a fish one, Irish coffee mmmm, ceassr salad and a shrimp cocktail. It was really about how to serve these items table side with russian service so it is pleasing to the eye. It was really interesting but he was hard to understand. Grace and sarah came and met me for lunch and then after lunch half od us got to cook in the kitchen. It was so much fun, but again hard to understand. We had roclette which is a traditional cheese dish. It's a big wheel of cheese and they cut it in half and then put it in this machine which toasts the cheese and when it's all bubbly you take it out and scrape it off with a knife. Repeat. So delicious. We had fondue and then a veal dish. Oh it was so yummy. We served it with these Swiss harhbrowns. Mmmm. Then we had a dessert which I was not a fan of. He put kirsch in it which is a cherry liquor. He put so much in I honestly think i could have gotten drunk from a piece. Definately off of the whole cake.
Side note: we are triaining through the Swiss alps right now. It's goregous. Vineyards everywhere!
The we had a grill out one night but I didn't partake for money reasons... Gotta save that dough.
Friday we had class in the morning and then a wine tasting in the afternoon. It was really interesting and I learned a lonhut after hour 4 I was about to scream. This 2.5 weeks of class in one day kills me. Then finally we tasted the wine. It was good. Didn't learn too much about actually tasting but the last wine was Soooo good. Dessert wine. Gotta love them.
After that we had a dinner. It was good. But we had to be in uniform and we were at the school so it just seemed like more class. In class from 9 to 8. Long day.
Saturday they didn't serve breakfast. Grr. But we did have Brunch which was arguably better. Breakfast AND lunch! Wow. Then we got out of class early!!! And we went to motreaux to get our train tickets. Success. And we shopped for a minute. Got an adorable shirt. We got back on the boat and as soon as we got back got in our swim suits and jumped into the lake. It felt so nice! The lake is the cleanest lake in europe... Or at least that's what we were told.
Sunday we had to goto class at 8 instead of 9... Sooo early. 8 hours of class later and a lot of bad pictures and doodling we were done! Longest day of my life! We went swimming again in the lake. It was so busy! Everyone was out. Then we went to dinner and Eddi and I shared the fondue. Mmm steak in oil! it was so good but couldve been marinated more. After dinner I packed my bag and showered and then went to bed!
We woke up this morning at 6:25 for our 7:00 am train. Rough. Now we are all on our way to Florence! I am honestly most happy to not have school! I don't care where I am as long as it's not sitting in class. Sorry it was so brief. Nothing happened in that tiny town. Promise.
I'll be better this week in Italy! Misses
