Man, I really need to get on the ball with my posts.

Monday morning was my Sanitation class. My instructor in that class announced that she would give 50 points of extra credit to anyone who wore pink during class for the month of October in since it is Breast… Read full post »

You know what I need? A good time outside. Sans food. I've been at work for the past 2 days, standing around food, cooking food, smelling food, tasting it. I need a break. Yes, you read right, folks. This girl needs a break. I've become consumed with my passion for food… Read full post »

Finally, fall is among us. This past summer made me love heat less...even though I will always choose it over cold weather. I don't like being cold. No, sir. My circulation sucks so I'm always cold; even when it's hot outside.

Though I am averse to low the chilly seasons… Read full post »

Today was Intro to Baking, and I was late. My fault entirely. I should have planned better. I'm tired of never getting anywhere on time. Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but you get what I mean. I'm just disappointed in myself.

Anyway, it was cake day. Four groups made… Read full post »

Today was my HR class. Nothing particular to note, just one girl who talked about how everyting at the restaurant where she worked was breaking or already broken. And no one was bothering to fix anything. We all suggested she get a new job.

Then it was off to work. Today was… Read full post »

Here I am, sitting in a semi-comfortable booth at Panera Bread, listening to very soothing piano music that floats from the establishments' speakers. I have my hazelnut coffee, and a 630 calorie cinnamon roll. 8l

I didn't know how much damage had been done until I was halfway through the pastry… Read full post »

Tonight was the mayoral ball at work. The restaurant was closed to the public, which I had never seen. I didn't even know about it until I arrived at work that there was a special event. No wonder I was scheduled to work a weird shift: 5-9. I've never worked those… Read full post »

How do waiters/waitresses do it?

Today was my second day of work. I work both in the back and front of the awesome bakery, so I do have to deal with customers. And I know from experience that working with customers is not my thing. Not that I'm socially inept, I… Read full post »

Man, I need to get back on top of my blog. I'm 2 days behind, and I have much to say. Let's go chronologically.

Monday I did post, but I said nothing about school (It was my adventure with crab apple crisp, remember readers?). I had class that morning and was assigned… Read full post »

At this moment. I have an experimental dessert in front of me: Crab apple crisp. Never before had I known that such a thing could exist. I always thought crab apples were inedible, until last week, when my boyfriend's mom presented my with a jar of crab apple jelly. She told… Read full post »

Like my David Bowie reference? I thought it was pretty nifty AND relevant.

So yesterday at 7:30am I got a phone call from the owner at the awesome bakery where I'm interning/apprenticing. She sounded frantic and proceeds to tell me that the girl who was supposed to be there that morning… Read full post »

I tried to post this yesterday, but when I did I got logged out. So I'm going to try again today. Prepare to be embarrassed for me as I attempt to remember everything I wrote but will probably be unsuccessful.

What a day yesterday. I've decided that laminated doughs are evil.… Read full post »

It's getting colder outside. This means fall is closing in. And I'm ready for it. It was chilly when I arrived at school this morning. It was a surprise because I'm used to the sweltering weather that refuses to abate. I'm ready to break out my sweaters, bake pumpkin bread, complain… Read full post »

Early class this morning. I was out of the house by 7:45am. I like to get up early, but I just have a hard time getting used to this new school schedule. I've decided that the professors here at Ivy Tech are much more strict than the professors from PNC. I get into… Read full post »

How now brown cow?

Same as last time red bull.

 Hehe. My great grandpa used to say that all the time.

Do you ever wonder what your deceased loved ones are doing right now? I mean, do you wonder if they're in a better place, or just in a cemetary? Do… Read full post »

Why the title? I am interning with a fabulous baker and it is an opportunity that only comes around once in a blue moon, that's why.

The awesome bakery that I have my apprenticeship/internship/whatever at, I'm learning quite a bit. And i've only been there twice! Each day the owner teaches… Read full post »

I have been gone from my house since 8am this morning, and I just got back less than an hour ago. My feet hurt, I'm tired, and the thought of bread makes me almost queazy. But today was a very good day.

It was yeasts bread today in class, along… Read full post »

The library is nice and quiet. I feel like I am totally alone, and it feels good. Sometimes I need that alone time. I'll use it to think, organize my thoughts in chronological order (often I lose count), imagine my dream bakery, cook something, or just absorb the sights and sounds around… Read full post »

Happy Labor Day! Let's celebrate the American worker and give them a well-deserved day off. I'll eat, drink, and be merry to that.

In celebration of Labor Day, I had lunch with my beau and his family, then dinner with my own family. Me and my guy had Boca burgers… Read full post »

Alright. Get ready for a whine.

I am unhappy about the way I look. Since working at the restaraunt, I've gained 25lbs. And that pisses me off. I used to have so much discipline. I used to fit into all of the clothes in my closet. Now, things have changed. I… Read full post »

I'm not suse why I chose that title for today's post. My guys says it sometimes in his movie announcer voice (he could totally be one of those voice over guys if he wanted to). I think it's from a videogame. Me and one of my friend's went to lunch the… Read full post »

I tried something new today: lemon meringue pie. In the past, I found that I didn't like it. The meringue is what turned me off to it. It tasted like thick flavorless foam. I usually scrape off the meringue and eat the rest of the slice with gusto.

But for… Read full post »
