Cough! Cough!

Between applying math to the culinary field, sanitation courses, regular culinary classes, theory classes, preparing for the trip to peru and trying to teach myself spanish; I'm surprised there is still enough room left in brain to remember how to type. However, I think it is going to pay off in the long run.
School is going great! I'm kickin' around a B+ average which is really good, the written portion of the course is a lot harder than i thought it was going to be. I just finished my first class, as some of u may know it was soup, vegetable and starch cookery. Now i have started Short Order which is really, really easy which makes for a nice break. For those of u who caught a small flicker of my training last Saturday with some eggs benedict, there is plenty more where that came from. I apologize to those who didnt get a chance to try it; however, i always save the best for last. John, i will give u the first Laurette Potato that i make in Cold Lake.
The other major thing that is happening in my life right now is that i get to go on a missions trip to Peru for two weeks in August. The bad news is i have to get a physical...cough! cough! Which i am NOT very thrilled about. But i have always wanted to learn Spanish and now i am forced to which is cool; on the other hand, i have to teach it to myself and im not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing. The other downside is that there is a heck of a lot of other stuff that we have to train for that i wasnt previously aware of. It is in God's hands and i know he has put me on this missions team for a reason.
For those of you who were not at skirrific u missed out big time. Congrats to Drake and Fehr the band was exceptional and that goes for Darren as well and all those other guys who worked on the movie, i was extremely impressed and left completely satisfied. AdiĆ³s Amigos!
Thankyou Chevy Chase!

Holding In My Poop

Well I'm sitting here holding in a poop because im to lazy to go up stairs; therfore, this might be a very quick blog or just a normal one, or a very long one depending on how lazy my fingers get. Well the most exciting event that has just recently happened to me would probably have to have been at about 8:15 last night when my Pittsburgh Steelers won the Vince Lombardi trophy at Superbowl XL in Detroit. They are my Oilers of the NFL and for them to have done what they did was incredible. What makes the victory even sweeter is when i get to rub it in the face of all the Seahawks fans at work and claim my $20 from the Hospitality Manager.
Now a friend of mine, some may know her as Sumo Anne, said that if i never had anything else to write about that i could write about her. I have plenty of other stuff i could write about; however, i think this would be the most fun. My favorite thing about Sumo Anne is her openess in sharing and expressing the gas that comes out of her body. She is also harder to score on than any other girl i have met in my life and consumes more food than most of the people i know. In conclusion, she is lot of fun to hang around with and if your ever hungry she always has a snack in her purse and a wetnap for cleanup.
School is absolutely amazing! The dishes i am making are so amazing that i could turn a behemoth carnivore like Fehr Bear into a vegetarian. The best dishes that i get to make are the potato ones. I had no idea there were so many ways to prepare potatoes. My favorite potato dish, by far, was the laurette potato. It's pretty much like the lightest, fluffiest donut you have ever had but its potatoes. One of my favorite soups that we got to make was the Mulligatawny which is like a curry, chicken and rice soup which I hope I can make for everyone soon enough.
Well i got to go the Cosby kids are just screamin to get into the pool. I hope to see you all at skirrific where me and Fehr have prepared an extreme sports demonstration that will occur in the snowboard park at approximately 10:30. In the words of Jerome Betis, "the bus stops here..."
