Wow, the second week of school is already done. It is crazy that it is going by so fast! The cooking class is still my favorite class! Wednesday we had our veggie unit. We made a pumpkin/potato soup topped with small pieces of bread and bacon with parsley. It looked really pretty but I tried it and I didn’t like it! (of course haha)
Then we made a zucchini flan and I didn’t even try it cause it was green and smelled weird, but everyone else seemed to like it! Then we made our own onion rings! I helped make those and I actually liked them. I usually hate onions and don’t really like onion rings but they were super delicious!
Our teacher also opened 2 bottles of white wine for all of us to have throughout the class period. He is so fun and awesome! I love my cooking professor. Next week we will learn to make fresh pasta. Don’t worry guys, we have to write all of the recipes down and I plan on typing them all up and making a small Italian cookbook when it is all over! I am very excited for the fresh pasta though, that will be awesome!
Then yesterday I had my second wine class. Still love that class too! I also love this professor too! He was so nervous last week since it was the fist class and would sit there and shake his legs from nerves and stumble over words, he was a lot better about that yesterday though, it was so cute though! Yesterday he kept making jokes and when he laughs he cries everytime and it was hilarious! We got taste 3 wines last night. One white, one rose, and one red. I liked the rose the best. We had a very short lesson on how to properly taste them and said we will go further into detail in the following lessons. Next week we are going on a field trip to a vineyard. I am so excited for that too! Next week is gonna be great!! I also had to make up my Italian class yesterday that was canceled on Monday. So we had to get up early unfortunately. But yesterday was not terribly cold thank goodness….still cold though!
Oh! And yesterday I went to the butcher shop with Caroline and Sara. The real reason we went is cause Caroline is crushin on the butcher and he just happens to live right across the street from us. So we went and I can definitely see why she likes him! Haha what a cutie! He kept making fun of me and Caroline cause we can’t speak much Italian and Sara is really good at it. It was fun to go in there and talk with him and he wants to learn to English so it works out good! We are gonna invite him to dinner eventually too haha we will see how that goes! Speaking of dinner, I made a pretty delicious meal last night…potatoes, chicken, and cauliflower! Yum!! (it was a nice break from so much pasta)
This morning was supposed to be the make up trip to Viterbo since we missed it last weekend because of the very small amount of snow we got, but this morning when we woke up it looked like a blizzard outside. There is maybe 2 inches of snow so of course the trip got canceled yet again! We couldn't even go to market today either. We are gonna be snowed in today and probably tomorrow. The weather is supposed to get into the upper 40's in the middle of next week though thank goodness! I don't mind the cold but I do mind the cold when it's freezing inside! The whole 'not having the heater' thing on is absolutely killer when it is this cold!! It's crazy! Looks like me and the roommies will be chillin with each other this weekend!
Oh! And here is a pic of doing snow angels with the volleyball guys from last weekend!
Until next time… Ciao!
