I am sure I wrote and erased this first sentence like 5 times, because I just didn`t know where to start! Got you all excited now, huh?? And so I don't forget, this is my 100th post!
WELL, I will begin my story with last night's dinner with the family Haas. Mr. Michael Hass, a great personality, the first cousin of the friends I am stying with here in Vienna, was someone who helped me tremendously with making my externship happen and was there for me. And for those thigns, it is hard to express your gratitude enough. I will also take this chance now to say a big THANK YOU to everyone that was involved in this, for every action, every word, it was worth it. Even if it didn't go through, there are again no words to express my appreciation.
Now, to go back to the story. Family Haas invited me for dinner last night and I enjoyed it so much! We had this special Viatnamese soup and then a beautiful platter of sushi. Boy oh boy. I am not huge fan of that food, I am just not used to it, but the real reason behin it was that a never had a real sushi before. That was SO good, you have no idea. I have never thought I could enjoy in that so much. And the soup? Amazing. A clear soup with rice noodles and thin slices of some kind of (cooked, but not sure what kind) meat. Then we had the pear tarte tatin which I made, but I confess...I had to buy the pre made Pate Sucree or in America, cookie dough. It was the first time in my life that I bought that and I had to do it just because I could't make one, because I don't have scale. It was very disturbing. I know Fanny from Foodbeam wouldn't be so proud of me...But I hade slef picked pears that tasted heavenly and then served woth some amazing Viennaise whipped cream. We had a nice chat and I met Michael's wife and his son and daughter. They were all so nice and I have truly enjoyed that evening with them :)
And so I woke up, bright and early. I don't ever need an alarm, because when I know I have to get up, it just happens! But since I was so paranoid that I will be late (as usual), I set an alarm and + put it on snooze (Thanx Stacey!)
And so I got up at 6:30, got ready and left an hour or so later. My ipod was with me, making me less nervous.
It was a beautiful morning and I truly wished I had gone earlier to sit down and have coffee...
So I got through the back door and everyone was alreday there, taking care of their jobs for the day. They were all so nice to me, helped me settle in and I was feeling welcomed.
If there's anything to wish on the first day, my wish came true. As for the rest of the day, it was like in school like the first day of a new block. And If you didn't know, I am not very fond of that. You don't know anything and you have to get used to everything and everyone. Tomorrow should be definitely as interesting as today. I am looking foward to it :)
And next time....I am making my own Pate Sucree.
