Update from Bratislava!





Here is a photo that Blair sent from Bratislava. He has been having a great time & has taken a lot of really great pictures! He had so many great ones I could not put them all up. So, if you want to see more you can click on the link below the picture & there are a lot of other really great ones! http://blairandmaggie.smugmug.com/photos/swfpopup.mg?

As for me, Elizabeth left this morning. Her passport came at 2 am & then she had to get up at 5 (my normal wake up time!) with me this morning and go catch her flight! So needless to say we were both a little tired this morning. But, school has been going really great so far & the class that I am in now is called Garde Manger. It is basically everything that is prepared cold in the kitchen. So we have done a lot of dressings, sauces and even made beef jerky (which was soo good) and pickles & duck con fit. Today we made homemade
cheeses! It was very interesting. We made mozzarella, ricotta, mascarpone, and lemon cheese. And then we did a cheese tasting of probably 20 different kinds. It was a very fun day! So here are a few pics...the ones on the right are the mozzarella process and the ones on the left are from the tastings.
