First Class

      I had this incredible urge to giggle and clap my hands with excitement when I first arrived. It was really neat to see people walking around in chef's uniforms. However I do not need a uniform for the class, this is strangely disappointing.
     First class was great.It is all about food and ....stuff, ingredients and preparation techniques. Did you know you should peel cheery tomatoes when you put them in a salad? My prof, actually I think he in an instructor who we address as Chef _____________, is relaxed and engaging. The textbook I need for the class could double as a lethal weapon in a dark alley. It should be an interesting read even if I do need a forklift to carry it ( not to class thankfully).
    Next week the class, which is 3 hrs in length is on salt and pepper, spices and things I can't pronounce. I have to read a chapter on herbs.
    One thing I have noticed....three hours talking about food makes one HUNGRY!

Let you know about my chapter reading...maybe it will tell me why my Lovage died on the windowsill.
