Lovin' Life...

Let me just say, how much I am lovin' life right now.  School is incredible and I am learning so much. This past term I was in Foundations 2, which is the second and last cooking class I will be in (since I am going for baking and patisserie).  I have to admit before this class started I was terrified!  I was stressing the class and worried about my knife skills and just taking the class in general.  Well, let me just say I kicked some serious butt in that class. I made some AMAZING dishes.

carrots vichy

Green beans with Roasted pepper and bacon

Pilaf

Nicoise

Salade de pommes de terre

white bean salad

Fish and chips with remoulade

Escalope de Veau a la creme

Roti au jus

Cotes de porc

stuffed chicken with pecan butter and polenta

Poeler canard aux vavets

Filet de sole bonne femme

Poached Salmon

There are a bunch more dishes I made and forgot to take pictures of.  This class had me working my tush off.  It was GREAT!!! I was very happy to say that the grades are in and I finished out the class with an A!  I made an A on my written final and on my cooking practical final!!  GO ME! 
I have learned so much from this class!  I am looking forward to getting into some more baking classes.
Now on the subject of work: I hit my 90 days April 24th.  I was suppose to get an evaluation and a raise.   After about a 2 month wait I finally got my evaluation and get this, I have impressed my bosses.  Apparently they don't give 1's on your first evaluation because your new and there is always room for improvement.  Well, this chica got TWO 1's!!  Whoop Whoop!!!  So I will get a .50 cents raise and get this, they are going to back pay me from April 24th!!  Oh snap!  Life is good...
