Back at it

Today was exhausting! I had nine hours of class -- all lecture. I basically needed an latte IV to maintain consciousness. I got home from class, TFA-ed for a few hours, and made/packaged/delivered 6 dozen brownies. Then I realized that I had been in my chef outfit for 12 hours, took a shower, and passed out on the couch.

My chocolates teacher is ve-ry German. I'm going to have nightmares of him yelling NOYMAN! tonight.

Here are some entertaining things he said:

  • "I like the law, I like math, and I loooove chocolate."
  • "The rule book says you are not supposed to wear any makeup, but let's face it. Some women need makeup."
  • I can't quote him directly on this one, but he gave us a five minute how-to lecture on rubbing cocoa butter on pregnant bellies.
  • "NOYMAN! TIE YOUR SHOE! YOU WILL FALL ON FACE!"
  • "NOYMAN! WHAT IS THIS?! DO YOU HAVE MAGIC HANDS!?" (Because I forgot to put on gloves)
  • "NOYMAN! I CAN SEE YOUR COFFEE CUP HIDDEN UNDER THE TABLE!"
  • "NOYMAN!!!!!!!!!" (etc. etc. etc.)

I have 7 people from my old class in chocolates lab, but the rest of our class came from academics. Meaning that they've never had a baking lab before. Meaning they don't know how to use the microwave (I kid you not.) It should be interesting!
