First day in the kitchen.

Today was another foggy, wet day. Its still beautiful though, maybe even more so. Lunch today was french pizza.. It had green beans, and roasted peppers on it. It was actually really good. The first day of class was today, 7 hours in the kitchen. We made 3 different kinds of pate Sucre (sugar dough,) and creme d'amandes (almond cream.) Today was frustrating which is to be expected on the first day, I suppose. 2 of my doughs turned out pretty wet which just meant I had to add more flour and keep the dough in the refrigerator for longer. We ended up making pear tarts with the almond cream and 2 of the pate sucres. My little one got chosen to be one of the tarts that will be in the buffet on friday. The buffet shows what each class has been working on all week. We made one of the sugar doughs into a pastry shell that we will be filling with chocolate mousse tomorrow. I am very very sleepy and hungry, lab ran long. I'll update tomorrow.. and add photos (still no internet int he apartment, but they will probably be up before you wake up in the morning.) Miss you!

Love, Annie
