We got a 96% today lovies!

Here are the breads that I made for my practical. They came out quite lovely and shiny.

We have made it to the end of week three everyone. Very exciting. I absolutely LOVED every single day of these past 3 weeks. The breads came out delicious and I am really proud of myslef. I honestly think I can do this with my eyes closed. :)  Although, I may just keep one eye open, cuz you just never know. We don't need any accidents ;).

So yes, we received a 96! We did it! I was super nervous going into it this morning. Everyone from the last practical said he made them VERY nervous.  He is a tough cookie but it's what I like the most.  He pushes us and expects us to do better than we think we can do.  I just got in there, did the 12 steps in my head and took it nice and easy as there was no rush.  I actually calmed down because he had the beach report on the TV so I could see the waves in Cocoa Beach.  BIG SMILE!  I mean, hello! Does he know I love the ocean?!!? It was perfect!   Soon after, he started talking to me about the surf! At this point the nerves were completely gone.  Thank you Chefy!!  You just do not know what you did for me today.   So yea, it was smooth sailing for the rest of the procedures. I  just kept looking up... nice waves too! Note to everyone.. Cocoa has waves and there is actually some kind of long board competition going on. Just in case you want to go. :) 

My friend Lulu took this picture of me getting my breads out of the oven:

Thank you LuLu! She also got an "A". We've worked together in the same group these past weeks. :)  AND, this is the chef grading my product:

Here he is telling me that I didn't press the bottoms of  my braids hard enough. :( I had a little tunneling inside my bread as well, so now you know where the 4 points went. Boo Hoo...

You can get a feel of what the class looks like for breads. All the tables are the same, all made of wood.  We all use that one oven that you see behind me in the picture where I am pulling out the bread. We have worked in groups of 4 and I believe he told us today that we will be working alone for the next 3 weeks since we are doing laminated doughs. Um, yea, we may be gaining a little weight together these next 3 weeks my darlings. But have no fear, I will totally be your cheerleader while you are working out ;).  I wont let us lose our figures! Not even for the love of pastries!

That is it for me. We have a mega test come Monday so I will be studying... beach side of course. If you wan to find me, just roll up to Cocoa.. I will be there :)

Enjoy your Easter weekend everyone! Remember tomorrow is Good Friday. Eat Fish! :) :) I lovey fish.. Snapper to be exact. Ok, fine, I love Tuna too.. yummy, Sashimi style. Ooohhh I miss certain things in my life.. but its all good! There is better to come!
