Zermatt and School

How was you week?
Mine was active :)

THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 2012.

We had a class on trick foods, the correct way to eat certain things. We had asparagus, smoked salmon and fruit (strawberry, lychee, passion fruit). I forgot my camera sorry :(

Don't let anyone fool you, a lychee with knife and fork is a decent challenge. Haha!

SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 2012.

We decided to go to Zermatt, to see the Matterhorn... method of transport? Train :)

We just walked around and took in the cuteness of the town.

 

 Started the morning with a good hot chocolate and a cornet, cone shaped pastry filled with vanilla cream. 

The Matterhorn is a mountain in the Pennine Alps on the border between Switzerland and Italy. Its height is 4,478 metres (14,690 ft), one of the highest peaks in the Alps. 

The four steep faces, rising above the surrounding glaciers, face the four compass points. The mountain overlooks the town of Zermatt.

Then lunch time rolled around, Zermatt is in the German part of Switzerland. So it seemed right to have sausages and potatoes for lunch.

After we took a little train up the mountain to Gornergrat. It is Europe's highest open-air cog railway, 3089 m or 10132 ft.

 After reaching the top we got caught in a blizzard. So much for seeing the amazing view, but overall a good day :)

TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 2012.

We had cooking class. We made Appetizer: Spinach Tart, Entre: Fish in tomato and capers sauce, Pilaf rice and sauteed zucchini and Dessert: Caramel Flan.

I was in-charge of the spinach tart and I finished early so I was able to do a chocolate cake with chocolate cream for my roommates upcoming birthday. 

Then we had table decoration, this week was a carnival theme and I was in charge of the table setting.

The flowers aren't very clear in the picture above, but the girls did a really nice job on them.
