Demilune...

Ah, today at school we learned a new cut.  It is called a Demilune, which is just a half moon shape cut out of a root veggie.  We practiced on turnips.  I got the basic idea down I just need to keep practicing to get all of them to match in size.

A little rough right now, but just wait until I have practiced more, they will look AMAZING!!!!  If you can't tell, I am LOVIN' this.  This is probably one of the smartest moves I have made in my life. 
We also started the math part today.  Oy vey!!!  I can do it!!  Plenty of tutoring is available.  I have memorized 7 basic conversions so according to Chef I will be able to figure out any conversion by just knowing those.  We shall see on that one.  The neighboring class is a culinary class and they have to make buffet styles with themes.  Well, Their chef invited us over to there kitchen to eat what they had made.  AWESOME.....food!!!  I was so hungry today because I was running a little late and missed breakfast.  So luckily we got to do that and it was AMAZING!!  There were 6 different themed tables and so much food on each.  I tried a lot of new stuff.  The major things I tried was deep fried (must be good if it is deep fried right?) oyster!!  Hell NO!!  It was very fishy smelling and very soft.  I have never had oyster (unless in was in something like clam chowder or something).  I took a bite and was not sure if I liked it.  The first bite didn't make me want to vomit so it deserved a second bite to verify what I was tasting and sure enough not my cup of tea.  I am guessing it was cooked properly, but I just couldn't get down with the texture.  I also tried a Leek and Potato soup with a single shrimp on top which is served cold and it was surprising delicious!!  I really enjoyed it.   I tried a homemade tortilla chip that had all these little things on it, I don't really know what that was but with the combination of the salty chip and the stuff on top it VERY Yummy!!!  I would have had a second one of those.  I tried a few other things but none stuck out as much as those.  Definitely a fun day.  Then to top it off it was sunny outside so my walk home was alluring.  See for yourself:

 Can't wait until those tree have leaves!!

soaking up the sun, the wind was chilly though.

I finally took some picture in my chef uniform so I figured I would go ahead and post them on here.

 hard to get the entire thing

 As close as I could get

I look GREAT!!!!  I will look even better once I lose some more weight. 

But hey you know what they say, You can't trust a skinny chef!!!
