Nutmeg In Paris

I was living in New Orleans, working as a middle school English teacher when Hurricane Katrina struck and the levees broke. I lost my job, and decided that it was time to pursue my dream of going to culinary school. Here I am in Paris for the next eight months, cooking and exploring, trying to decide what comes next...

I know I have been MIA for awhile, and most details of my life in the past week will remain a mystery for now, as my exams are tomorrow and I am FREAKING out.

I cheated, and I got my friend "Mia" to find out what the recipes are ahead of time (she works at school). She got the pastry exams for me but not the cuisine, which is a bummer because I am the 3rd group to do pastry and the first to do cuisine. So I am cramming ten recipes for tomorrow at 8 am. Someone in the basement kitchen said we may have the trout. That would be good. But I wanted the fish recipe last time and that didn't work out well for me. But I am happy with the pastry options; two of them are very time consuming, but the two most difficult options (the macaroons and Passionatta) are not going to be on the exam. Hooray.

God, I am a boring person.
