Feb 9 - Feb 11

This week I spent stressing about chocolates, so I think my work suffered a bit. Tuesday we were paired up and given two cold desserts to do. For the first time I was paired up with the girl in my class who's deaf. I found it really difficult to communicate with her and she felt the same way because I don't know any sign language, so we were both frustrated, even though the college has interpreters.

Our first sweet was a chocolate and pear millefeuille.


The second sweet was a raspberry and drambuie parfait. I think we both liked this one a lot better.

And my flatmate got some good news; he's been offered a new job and has accepted it. I got the news thursday afternoon while I was at the college working on chocolates, so while all the kids in the level below me were working on valentines cakes, I put together a mini cake as a little congratulations. I still kept with the valentine's theme a bit with the piping, but still kept it simple and not too over-the-top.
