I'm glad you and your classmates (and teacher ) all enjoy the recipes & I'm happy to share them Once I find that cookie recipe I'll have to send it along...maybe you can make Valentine's Day cookies. Do you celebrate Valentine's Day? Here it's February 14. It's so tacky I think. It's just a way of making money off of couples...besides, I never have a date for Valentine's day...maybe that's why I don't like it? With the escargot, I was so afraid the texture would remind me of snot. But now that I know it's more like a mushroom I might try it. Forga legs...are they frog legs? We sell them over here around the holidays, but I've never had them. We're going to cook with them in school and also alligator meat! I can't wait to see what that tastes like! LoL My mom actually is letting me borrow her car for the week & she's getting a ride to work from one of her coworkers

Aww that's so sweet of your teacher Tell her I said "You're welcome" It's so cool that you share the recipes & get to make them in class Well it ended up not being my battery. I need to take my car into the garage to get fixed & see what's wrong with it. I'm freaking out because I have no idea how I'm getting to school I will try anything once.....except escargot. I think the texture would make me gag! It has turned out to be quite an upsetting weekend, but I'm sure things will turn around soon! I hope you have fun in class tomorrow

Garlic & dill are my favorite pairing as well I also love chives, cayenne pepper, & cinnamon..but not mixed together! I would love to teach you any technique or recipe I learn Yes, I still love school I can't believe I'm almost done with my 2nd term! Just 3 more after this & I graduate!! I'm excited & nervous, but I'm focusing on just what I'm learning at the moment. My car died yesterday. I need a new battery for it...but luckily they're about US$45 so that's not too bad. I know you'll get used to your schedule...although it might take a week or two. I'm not a morning person lol. I like to stay up late, so 5:30am would annoy me! LoL Well enjoy your day off & I hope your cooking teacher shows you how to make pasta It's so much fun!

The mussels turned out perfect! Adam was drinking the sauce from the bowl I made roasted cauliflower that had been seasoned with garlic salt, white pepper, salt, & vegetable oil You mix them around the bowl with the oil & seasonings & put them onto a metal plate then stick them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes. I don't know celcius, but I set the oven to about 430 degrees Fahrenheit. They are crispy like popcorn & taste so good The omlettes are SO good! I'm like you, I /emoticons/default_lmfao77.gif" alt=":lmfao:" /> Smoked cheeses are good I like smoked Holland gouda & applewood smoked gruyere I've tried just the tarragon & coriander by themselves on "Herb & Spice" day at school, and they were okay, but I'd like to make my final judgement on them when I taste them cooked in a dish

I like this diet because I get to cook every single meal from scratch! It's good practice As far as anything goes, I know I can talk to you about any of my problems, and the same goes for you We are learning a lot of French cooking & techniques. I found out we're not learning how to sous vide I really want to try it! I also want to learn molecular gastronomy! I really want to learn every technique there is, so I can offer it if asked by any of my customers someday We learned how to make pasta from scratch, smoke meats, and today we made Hungarian goulash & Jambalya....neither of which I really cared for Well I hope you have a great day tomorrow

I started my 15-Day "extra low carb" diet yesterday. It has been so hard not eating any bread!! I love bread or pancakes for breakfast, and I can't have them at all lol. Adam put me on this diet because I asked him to be my personal trainer/supporter to lose some weight. But you should have seen some of the things I cooked the past 2 days!! Yesterday I made an omlette with eggs, sliced portabella mushrooms, seasonings, & fresh chopped chives Plus I had 2 pieces of hickory smoked bacon seasoned with a little bit of black pepper For dinner last night I made that yummy onion soup, and I added some mushrooms Tonight's dinner was sauteed shrimp & veggies The veggie mix was: mushrooms, green & red bell peppers, sugar pea pods, scallions, minced garlic, & fresh dill I added some chicken stock to make a sauce and boy was it yummy! Tomorrow Adam is coming over & I'm making mussels with leeks & carrots, roasted cauliflower, and fresh strawberries for dessert

I will definately help you plan your mystery dinner! They're really quite funny! Adam & I met at work actually. I had been working in the deli at a grocery store for about 3 months & then he started to work in the same department. I was 2 months pregnant when I met him, so he's really known Aiden even before birth! He was there to see my baby belly grow, and he came to visit me in the hospital We really do have quite a unique & special friendship, and I know he'll always be a huge part of my life Good luck with your training! I'm sure once you get back into the routine of things it won't be as hard to prepare yourself for it.

The funny part is that you could get something like soup & have to eat it with a toothpick if that's what you ordered! LoL We had fun with that! June 22 will mark my 5 year anniversary of friendship with Adam He's going to be my personal trainer this year & help me lose some weight He's a very good motivator, & he's so energetic My New Years was okay. David & I decided just to be friends for now. He has a lot of growing up to do, & he's not ready for a serious commitment. But my parents & Adam seem to have a feeling that things aren't over for us, I just need to be really patient! But I'm taking it well Adam, Aiden & I are going up to Boston in April, and we're celebrating our 5 year "friend-aversary" at Raystown for a full week We usually only go for 4-5 days, but we're going longer this year How was your New Years hun? Oh by the way, I had Duck a L'orange for the first time today! It was really fatty, but it wasn't too bad. I still prefer chicken though

I was still in a good mood for Christmas, so it didn't spoil anything Hahaha you're right, we would have so much fun if we lived near each other! On days off, I could see you coming over and us baking to Mika's music lol It's okay about my birthday. I was hardly on here on break! LoL I sent Christmas wishes to a few friends on here & that was about it lol. But it was an amazing day! I had so much fun turning 28 LoL A mystery dinner is where you print out your own menus. The menu has a theme, for example my theme was TV shows, and all the items that you can order are titles of different tv shows, and you have to figure out what each one would represent. For example, "Sailor Moon" represented a spoon because it rhymed, "Powerpuff Girls" represented my famous peach PUFF pastries, and so on! It's a lot of fun, and you have no idea what you're ordering until it's served to you!

Aww Love you too Lil bunny! I hope you have a wonderful 2011

I'm pretty good sweetie, how are you? I hope 2011 brings you many wonderful things

David sent me a Happy Birthday text the morning of my birthday and he & I talked just a little at my party lol. We all had fun though Everyone loved the mystery dinner I made, and we all played games and talked We got some snow! It was supposed to be a blizzard, but it was just a light dusting . It doesn't matter, I hate snow so it was just fine to me! Adam got me a whole bunch of Hello Kitty stuff for my birthday He's so wonderful lol. Aww thanks for saying I'm attractive. Most days I feel pretty good about myself, but some days I don't want to look in the mirror. I think that's most women though lol. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, and if I don't hear from you soon, then Happy New Year hun!!

I'm so sorry for the late reply! I'm glad you made those recipes and they turned out awesome! I hope you have a great visit with your family, and you all had a wonderful Christmas I'm glad you get a long holiday with your family My mom & Aiden are feeling better. I got sick there for a few days, but I'm okay now. I just have a stuffy nose lol. Christmas was fun! I got a Wii from my brother, and Aiden loved all of his presents He really likes his VReader and his Mickey Mouse train! Thank you so much for encouraging me in school & believing me You might be a whole ocean away from me, but sometimes when we talk it feels like you're just down the street lol. I wish! We would have so much fun! But there aren't any quality schools around here, such as yours. You would either go to Catholic school or a public school....I don't know which one is worse lol but I think the Catholic school would be closer to what you're used to

Thanks for the birthday wishes hun Yeah, I don't get on here too much anymore, except to keep in touch with a good friend of mine I hope your 2011 is terrific and full of may wonderful things

Speaking of which, I feel like an idiot...I had no idea your birthday was ON Christmas, let alone near it Happy be-lated birthday from a bit of a fool
