Jamaican Gal Lost in Europe: SCHOOL

How was your week?
Mine was pretty lazy when it came to leisure time but busy classes.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2012.

So we had a loong day and a new class in the afternoon, till 7pm: extra cooking. This a extra cooking class provided for the girls taking the final exam to practice their menu. We will have to cook a three course meal, completely alone and clean up in 3 hours. I'm not worried about cooking my meal but the time constraint. The menus were taken out of a hat, I got: Appetizer: Courgette (zucchini) quiche, Entree: Lemon roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and french style green peas, Dessert: Pears in wine sauce.

We will have three of these extra classes. I used the 1st class to do a dish i had never eaten or seen before.

Courgette (zucchini) quiche, its a basic pie crust but its then layers or shallots, duck breast and zucchini then all covered in a cream sauce and baked.

On Wednesday I would have had my turn to be the Maitre d'hotel. But there was a change in the time table due to, On Wednesday the girls are going to Lapland, Finland. So service was on Tuesday.

This required my to have to decorate the table because there was no decoration class, there were also no flowers so we improvised.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2012.

Its valentines day!! Happy Valentines day to all, xox. The house mothers even left us a little present, a box of chocolates :)

After table service we had table decorations, this week I did the flowers :) this was my second bouquet ever, it definitely came out better than the first one.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2012.

This morning I woke up to it snowing. But everything continues as normal.

Most girls have left on a school trip to Lapland, so once again I will have a few days of private classes. To my advantage one of those classes are cooking and this weeks menu is the same as my exam :)
