I'm supposed to be packing for my San Diego trip but I'm putting that off for the time being to do something else I've been putting off: Posting my ( backlog of culinary school projects. )
Whoaaaaaaaaaaa everythingggggggggg. Really, really excellent work, you must feel so accomplished every time you finish one of these things. What do you do with them when you finish, after they're presented?
It'd be a combination of accomplishment and relief because leading up to the finish is tons of stress: Am I going to finish on time? Is this going to come out right? But I had really excellent instructors who were super helpful and understanding, which was good. Once we presented, we could either bring our product home or we could send it downstairs to the school restaurant. I stopped bring stuff home around the time we started cakes because my family was complaining about how they were getting fat from eating my desserts, haha. Breads, though, oh man. I brought home nearly everything I made. I think I ate my weight in foccacia in a span of three weeks.
On the first days of breads we made tons of baguettes and when I carried them home it looked like I was carrying some kind of baguette bouquet, or maybe a quiver of bread arrows lol.
Every time I see these posts, I really think "Man, I wished we knew each other in real life because I would EAT THIS ALL UP!" I have such an affinity for pastries, I DON'T CARE IF I GET FAT!!!! Everything is beautiful, I have hearts in my eyes. Bowties are cool! ANNE, YOU ARE PERFECT.
Also yes A Game of Thrones, I've started reading that too! I'm only about 1/4th of the way in though.
WHAT NO, YOU ARE PERFECT ELENA. I can only strive towards such greatness. Also, not to put you on the spot or anything but I'd love any music recs you may have since you are the music goddess of my flist.
I had to do it. There were bows all over that damn cake that to not do it would be criminal.
Nice! I read about 25 pages last night but then had to stop because I was exhausted. I'll have plenty of time to read during the car right, though. ARE YOU AS EXCITED FOR THE SHOW AS I AM?
omg that is so flattering, you have no idea! ACTUALLY LOL I WAS GOING TO ASK MY FLIST FOR RECS. I feel like I'm in such a music rut lately. But have you heard The Dodos' No Color? It's actually like one of my favourite albums so far this year and I think you'd like it because of the Neko Case backing vocals! I also like Timber Timbre, you should try out their self-titled. I really like the lead singer's voice, it's so deep! Have you heard of We Are Trees? I checked them out because people compared them to Grizzly Bear/Department of Eagles and I have their Boyfriend EP. I think you might like them too! Also, I've been really like Alex Winston lately! I really like her voice, her EP Sister Wife is great. and um, Allo Darlin' is this cute twee band, they remind me of Camera Obscura and She & Him. Wow, that got a lot more long-winded than I thought it would be! LOL I HOPE YOU LIKE AT LEAST ONE OF THESE ARTISTS. I can upload any of these if you want too
( ... )
Well, your rut is like my revelation as you know so much more about music than I do. I have heard the new Dodos record; I had to get it because of my girl Neko :) I'm not at all familiar with any of the others you mentioned, though, so uploads would be amaaazing. You're the best, Elena!
I've avoided all of the clips and trailers so that I can watch it with fresh eyes. AAAHHH, I can't believe the wait is almost over, for both this and Doctor Who! The TV gods are totally spoiling us this month.
So much delicious food porn! I especially like the look of the two mousses at the top. Your spiral in the first picture is also a thing of beauty so it was worth the effort!
I WILL FULLY ACCEPT THE BLAME FOR THIS TURN OF EVENTS. YES. Best book of all the books. My Tumblr and LJ stanning will only get worse as the series airs.
Oh man, everyone in the class had raw fingertips by the end of that day. We had a bowl of ice water at the table where everyone was working on their tuile pieces but it didn't really help.
I saw you entry about the book earlier today; I'm deliberately skipping it in the hopes that I'll finish the book over the weekend (which could very well happen since I'll be in a car for 16+ hours) and then I'll be in the know for all of your thinky thoughts :)
Ahaha, oh that's an epic piece of flail that was. I think finishing the book over the weekend is doable! And then you'll be ready in time for the TV series as well (TASTE MY EXCITEMENT).
This is going to be the first epic, sprawling fantasy novel/series I will have read so I'm a bit worried that it might be a bit overwhelming or difficult to follow, but I will persevere, dammit! SHOW! I've avoided all of the trailers and clips myself, so yeah, CONSIDER YOUR EXCITEMENT TASTED. Annnnnd, I'll be home just in time to watch it. KISMET? YES, I DO BELIEVE SO.
