The Chocolate Filigree

Look at how poorly I am doing making beautiful pictures out of cornettes
with chocolate filigree! Seriously, if those fucking cornettes were
easier to fold maybe my hands wouldn't be exhausted by the time I got to
the fun part.

The New School

Today was my 4th day in baking and pastry school. We learned how to use
the ice cream machine and we made cinnamon ice cream! It was delicious.
I've been learning a lot, expecially things I would've never figured out
on my own. There is a lot of information to remember but I memorized how
to make every drink from working at Starbucks so far so I think my
memory bank can take a beating.

The First Day of School

Today it feels as though I am back in kindergarten. I'm learning the
basics of baking, which is math. I am struggling, but I'm doing it.
Currently I'm at another lonely night of biscuit baking. Sometimes Josh
has to make things other than biscuits like pies or cornbread kits, and
waffle mix, which I am now incharge of. It's pretty easy. 24 eggs, 6
tbsp of yeast, 4 tbsp of vanilla, some amount of flour, 1 gal and 5 cups
of milk, and a ridiculous amount of melted butter.

Work tomorrow and sunday. UGH
