"Maybe it's monkey!"

Just a note on the title: every day, lunch is a guessing game as far as what meat product we're eating. It's a little scary, sometimes, especially when the servers can't tell us for sure whether it's pork, beef, or veal. So, today, Keisha decided to be funny.

Today was the last day of cakes class. I loved Chef Clement, so I'm sad to see Intro to Cakes get ticked off my list of labs. Somehow, I'm thinking that the next segment won't be as much fun. Anyway, we had two days of practical, which went really well. The cakes that Kendra and I made were well mixed, though my finishing still needed a little work. The only snag came when we couldn't find the half of the petit fours sheet that was ours. After Shannon and Maria cut theirs, they put it back in the fridge wrapped in plastic and labelled with tape for our table. When Kendra and I went looking for it, it was gone. Nobody 'fessed up to having it, so we were left finishing somebody elses sunken petit fours. Chef was really p.o.'d and only graded us on the finishing; I'm just annoyed, because it obviously wasn't a mistake. The tray was labelled, for crying out loud. But, it's over. I shouldn't hold a grudge, especially since I don't know who did it (although I think I know who did it).

Tomorrow it's on to Hot and Cold Dessert Presentations. That is so not going to be fun. But, in 5 weeks it will be Chocolates, and then another dose of Chef Clement before co-op.

This weekend I'll be busy knitting away on hats for the Knitting for the Troops Marathon sponsored by Denver Public Library. The goal is to knit 5, 280 hats to donate to the USO for servicemembers deployed overseas.

That's about all from here today. I'm sure I'll have alot more to talk about after meeting the new Chef tomorrow...
