My Life: February 2014

Good afternoon everyone,

How has everyone been? Sorry for the people who actually ready my blog. I have had some set backs with my laptop so it is very difficult at the moment to blog on a daily schedule like I would like to do but soon enough I will get a job and fix my laptop then I will be posting more often.

"Vodka Lemon Meringue Pie"

I have been in college for 6 months now and it has been going pretty good so far. I have taken my foundations of cooking class and currently I am taking Latin cuisine as well as Intro to Baking and Pastry. I will post some pictures of my creations a little bit later. I am currently looking for a job in the food industry so if anyone lives in the DC/Northern Virginia area feel free to comment below if you know of anything. I did have a job for about four months working for Chipotle, which I highly recommend instead of eating McDonald's or Taco bell. Yes the prices at Chipotle are a bit higher than other fast food restaurants but it is worth it as long as you don't eat it on a daily basis. The picture to the left is one of the many dishes I made for my roommates for Thanksgiving. It is a homemade Vodka Lemon Meringue pie.

So can I just say I was very happy when it first snowed up here. It did suck a bit whenever it started getting cold because my wardrobe was not made for cold weather seeing that I am from North Carolina where we see snow maybe once a year and if it snows it never last that long. So I quickly picked up on how to dress in the cold. So I have been up here for awhile as you have read previously and I am not the one to just stay inside doing nothing so one Saturday I left early in the morning and went into DC and did some site seeing, which I highly recommend everyone who can do it to do it but just make sure to have some water and good shoes. That say I took the Holocaust Tour, The Engraving tour(it is basically a tour on how to make money, has everyone seen the new currency? The hundred dollar bill looks amazing.), then I went to about 8 different Smithsonians, The Capital building, many of the monuments, and of course I had to go to the White house and I assure you if you don't have a detailed map on how to get there or if you don't pay attention on where you are going you will get lost. The good thing about DC is that there is a Starbucks on just about every block.

On a different note, has everyone seen "Bridegroom"? If you have not I highly suggest you go and watch it. It is available on Netflix for anyone who has an account. You can find out more about the movie by clicking here. This documentary if very emotional so be prepared to cry a bit. I will not talk much about it just yet because I am preparing to write a post more in def about it so be prepared for that.

This is it for now hopefully you enjoyed this blog and will share it with others. Down below are more pictures of my work :) My posting schedule will be iffy but I will try to post once a week. Hope everyone has a great depending on what part of the world you are in.
