Eclairs and Chocolate Mousse Tarts.

We were told there was internet in out apartments yesterday, no such luck. Its working in every other building, but not ours. It's starting to get very cold here.. I think its mostly the wind. It's 3 degrees celcius today.  Yesterday, we spent another 7 hours in the kitchen. We made chocolate mousse and ended up filling our empty tarts shells with it. We also made pastry cream and Pate a choux. Pate a choux is what cream puffs and eclairs are made of. We made half of the pastry cream vanilla and half chocolate, filling the choux (cream puffs) with vanilla and the eclairs with chocolate. Later today we will be making the fondant to top the choux and eclair. We are also going to be making fondant (chocolate and cream) to fill our other empty tart shells.

Tonight Lotan, and Odysseus are having a party at their apartment, so that should be fun. Tomorrow morning we're all going to Lyon. Some students are staying in Lyon until Saturday, but I'll be staying until Sunday, as there is nothing to do in Yssingeaux on Sunday. Time for lunch!


ps ill try and add photos of my walk from class later. (its being slow now)
