Now, this was an experience. I know I'm always amazed by the Grand Buffet, but this time it was different. This time our bakeshop was in charge for all the desserts that had to be on the Buffet. Of course, we didn't make them all, we just had to bring them to our bakeshop and present them. And the ones we did, were great! We did the friut tartlets, chocolate dipped strawberries, ice creams, sorbets, mini eclairs, cream puffs....
After I was done with my dinner I switched with Stacey and took over the Ice-creams! It was so nice to serve people; since I came here I was always looking at students who were doing that and there I was..doing exactly that...amazing.
It made me so sad in a way to leave Pastry techniques and Chef Schorner. I wanted to stay with him forever! I became very close to him by doing some xtra work and having our little chats about Europe and its delights. He gave me as a present a 1kg block of best chocolate (he says in the world!), AMADEI, which is Italian (Tuscany). I didn't know what to say..70% cocoa solids..mmmm
I aslo stayed the other night and helped Chef make the dessert for the school president, Tim Ryan, so that was a great thing for me as well. I was very excited about taht. I attached a pic of the dessert we did. And I made the sugar bow!! :))
I'm enjoying my 4 day weekend and it's like our spring break. Oh..yesterday...was above 30 degrees! Stacey and I met with my friend Chikara, who's a photographer, and we did an amazing photoshoot!! You'll see the pics, they're stunning.
In an hour I'm meeting with my friend Kendra who helped me along, before I even applied to the CIA. She is amazing and I'm so happy to go our with her; I suggested to go to Rhinebeck, a little town in this area. I've never been there so it should be interesting. Later tonight I think I'll meet up with my new roomie! She's here with her mum, but she can't move in before Monday, but she invited me to have dinner or lunch with them. How nice is that! I can't wait to meet them! I bought her a little pack of Lindor Truffels yesterday as a welcome :))
Ok, gotta get ready now...and I forgot to say that on Thursday night Stacey and I HAD to go to the grocerie store and noone could take us! And then at like 11pm we started talking to our Friend James, who just came back from the cinema, and he said he'll take us! And so we went to Hanaford (the best store!) which is opened 24/7, and were alone in the store for like an hour and a half. We came back from shopping at like 1 30 am! That was crazy, I never did that before! He he.
Grand Buffet, koja ludnica. Iako se uvijek iznova oduševljavam Grand Buffetom, ovaj put je bilo posebno. Ovaj put smo mi bili zaslužni za sve deserte! Naravno, nismo mi napravili sve, već smo ih morali donijet u naš bakeshop i prezentirat ih na Buffetu. I moram reć da one koje smo napravili su ispali fantastično! Imali smo voćne košarice, male eklere i nešto kao naše princes krafne, jagode umočene u čokoladu u obliku odijela, sladoled, sorbete....vidi se sve na slikama. Nakon što sam večerala, zamijenila sam se sa prethodnom grupom i napokon dobila priliku bit na sladoled postaji! :))
whohooo!! To je bilo super. Uvijek sam gledala i divila se studentima koji su to radili i onda..nakon 6 mjeseci...evo mene, stojim tu.
Bilo mi je baš žao izić iz Bakeshopa 1 i napustit Chefa Schornera. Ma naravno da će on uvijek bit tamo, stalno ćemo se mi viđat, ali bila bi ja još ostala 3 tjedna na njegovoj nastavi! Ali nas dvoje smo se baš zbližili; često sam ostajala pričat s njim poslije nastave i sudjelovala u extra projektima. Neki dan sam mu pomogla dovršit desert za predsjednika škole, Tima Ryana. Wow, to je bio osjećaj. stavila sam sliku, vidit će te...Ja sam savila šećernu mašnu!! :)) E da, dao mi je prošli tjedan 1kg komad najbolje Talijanske čokolade (AMADEI, 70%). To je bilo..wow..
I eto, započeo je mi je 4-dnevni vikend, što me veseli. U četvrtak navečer je Stacey i mene odveo naš prijatelj James u dućan jer stvarno nismo imale ništa u sobi! I zamisli...išli smi u ovaj fantastičan dućan Hanaford koji je otvoren 24/7. Krenuli smo oko 11 ipo i vratili se u 1 ipo (ujutro!). Bilo je super, nikoga u dućanu! Nisam to zaista nikad doživila.
Jučer smo nas dvije imale lunch; ja sam kuhala blitvu i samo malo popržila piletinu na tavi. mmmmmmmm Stacey obožava kad ja kuham što me veseli. Rekla je da bi blitvu svaki dan!Kasnije smo se, iako je bilo preko 30 stupnjeva, našli s ovim mojim prijateljem Chikarom koji je fotograf i opalili dosta slika! Super su!!! Večeras ću otić do njega da mi ih prebaci na usb stick. Poslije smo otišle do shopping centra kupit par sitnica i onda završile dan gledajući ''My big fat greek wedding''. Super je film, baš sam se nasmijala.
Evo me sad sjedim na krevetu i žurim jer se moram nać s mojom prijom Kendrom i onda kasnije vjerojatno s mojom novom cimericom Anom i njenom mamom!
Čujemo se!!
p.s - Još 6 tjedana!!!!!!
