You all know how much I hate early mornings. Well today I got up at 5:45 am and walked the hour to school; I had class from 8:15 am until 6:30 pm and then I walked home. And I'm on cloud nine! It was a really long day with cuisine practice (rocked it) pastry demo and then pastry practice. We made three kinds of pates (that's pat, not pat-tay) or doughs...pate brisee, pate sablee and pat sucre (see picture). Then if we had time we made cookies out of the sablee dough...also pictured. Not super sweet cookies...could have used some jam or something on them.
If I'm going to eat a cookie, I want a serious cookie, none of this lightly sweet crap. The calories better be worthwhile. Don't tell the teachers, but I'd rather have a Fudgee-o, ooooh! or a Pirate! (For you Americans, a Fudgee-o is a chocolate sandwich cookie and Pirates are peanut butter sandwich cookies). Among the things I am enjoying about being back in the homeland are all the things that you can't get in the States: President's Choice White Cheddar KD, Peak Freens, Mr. Christie....and cheese curd. I suspect the list will get longer as I rediscover all the crap I ate in university. I am, after all, a student again.
