...and just get myself home.
So yesterday, I had a conversation with Chef Trevor, Chef John, and Jamie, and not only am I back in Skills 1 next quarter, they told me a few things. For starters, they told me to get out of Sam's Club and find a food job, telling me it would help with my speed and prep time. They also told me that they expect better of me this time around. We also talked about some other things, like beef tongue with beurre rouge, the ability to make pigs fly, and running. I learned that Jamie is a runner, having run the Old Boys' half in 2009.
And so I left, inspired and a bit hopeful for next quarter, knowing that it's either "perform or get out" this time around.
Last night, I went over to Eric and Julie's and made them pizza. Julie asked how classes went and I recounted my abysmal performance. She nodded and gave me reassurance, telling me that when I go back, I'll be much better off. After dinner, both of them complimented me on my pizza, saying it was one of the best pizzas they've ever had... I even got compliments on the sauce!
Anyway, today is another baking frenzy... making mint-white chocolate cookies for Nicole, mint-dark chocolate cookies for F2F, and maybe even a pesto cookie for giggles.
