Oh the smell of success..

Oh the smell of sweet success.. It has taken a lot of tears. prayers. sleepless nights. more tears. and a lot more prayers. But I am here! Thank you, Jesus! As of today, I have completed my tenth day of Culinary School!! And I feel so Blessed to be here. This is a dream come true for me and I know that I am following my destiny. One day last week during production, I felt so great that I just wanted to shout it at the top of my lungs. Then I thought to myself.. self.. not such a good idea. Maybe in a few weeks when everyone already knows that something aint quiet right with me. Lol. But while they (may) think that I'm somewhat of a normal person, I'll hold off. Who would of thunk it.. T <---- getting up at 4:30 am and arriving to class 45 minutes to an hour early?... UN heard of. I was doing good to get to work 5 minutes late. Speaking of work, I am currently unemployed aka BROKE for the first time in over ten years. The unemployed part. I'm always broke. Anyway, I have attempted to take pictures of the good.the bad. and the laughable class productions. My first picture here was my first test which I was the award winner, if there is such a thing. Anyway, the choices were chocolate chip cookies or peanut butter cookies.. chocolate chip are by far my favorite, but everyone in class was making chocolate chip, so I decided on peanut butter, as did one or two more people. Not bragging at all, but my cookies were the hit of the class! Everyone wanted a piece of the pie, I mean peanut butter cookie. Of course I was both shocked and amazed, cause I thought that chef would pick my cookies out as an example of "what not to do". No.. perfect. those were her exact words. Word. My almond macaroons, a whole different story. I did get 55 out of 60 points on them, but they were definitely no prize! Pictures of that to come! ~T
