Another Gloomy Day in Charlotte.

Its rainy, but i dont mind it. I like being on the top floor of my door building i get to here the rain hit the roof which is soothing. One of the kids i work with in the culinary office (allen) gave me the first season of house so caroline ( my roomate) and i just hung out and watched house last night. Last day of the worst teacher ever. I have never disliked someone as a teacher so much in my entire life. She may be one of the nicest ladies ive ever met but rude when it comes to things she doesnt like and so terrible at teaching. O well. Hank and I had our 9 month "anniversery" yesterday. Weird right? Who would of thought i would make it past the 2 week mark with anyone. He sent me a chocolate strawberries edible arrangements. It was so good. I quickly became the most popular person in my hallway.  :)

Love You all

First Weekend of Hooters

Well im not going to lie you have to give those girls props. It is a fricken extensive training process with plenty of tests that you have to pass before you can be on the floor on your own. I had to remember the menu all the bar items every ingredient. it was pretty crazy . i got asked my phone number about six times! It was pretty funny. So i wasnt able to earn tips while training so that sucked except when a man handed me a fifty dollar bill and i had to tell him i cant take tips. So he got it approved by my manager. Awsome Right! Well i will give more detail later got to go to class love you all !

Gloomy Day in Charlotte. Eccept its Payday in the Office!

It’s pretty gray outside today, but I kind of like it. I like when there is different weather everyday. So maybe I should start looking for places to live that have crazy weather. I had an awesome time with hank in san Luis and Santa Barbara. Hanks sister Amy drove all the way from San Diego to pick me up in Burbank then we drove to San Luis Obispo. He showed me around his campus I got to briefly meet his friends and one of his roommates (one of them was in class). But the one I did meet was pretty cool. Defiantly much different than hank but that makes things a bit more interesting. Right? His campus is huge! 20,000 students compared to my 2500. It’s crazy. His food is different from ours as well we have cafeteria style dining they have different restaurants on campus they have the choice of dining in. I was pretty jealous. After he showed us around Amy drove us to Santa Barbara (she had a long day, but she is the best)...
   We went to State and A for dinner (which is his Aunt Kacy restaurant). We stayed at Kacy's house with Hanks cousin's Kami & Whitney. They have a gorgeous home you can see the ocean! The next morning we woke up and Kacy brought the best bagels for us from a local bagel shop called "Jacks". Then she gave us some ideas of things to do for the rest of the day. So we got ready went to the organic farmers market just off

State Street

. Then went shopping! I was actually pretty good and only bought one thing and a few school supplies! We finished the day with Sate and A for dinner again and Kacy gave me a tour of the kitchen, it’s crazy how different they all look.
   Sunday (my last day with hank) we went to the butterfly beach and I actually got in the water. I hate swimming but I got in up to my chest they were Huge waves. Hank says they weren’t at all but i'm pretty sure the ocean doesn’t like me because it was trying to suck me out... or maybe it likes me a lot. Oh well all I know is water scares me to death. After the beach hank and I packed up and followed Carly and Jakes directions to there house and got to visit with them and Liam. Gosh he is a crack up. He likes to throw his toys cars (all billion of them) they have the best view ever. We stayed there for an hour or too just talking then headed back to get cleaned up to go to dinner at Hanks Uncle Tommy and Aunt Barb’s house. It was the first home cooked meal I have had in over a month and a half and it was AMAZING! Tommy made hank and I Italian Passion fruit sodas. Pretty good actually. Then got Ben and Jerry’s with Kacy and Kami and headed back for Kacy's I face booked for a few house while Hank studied for his Psychology midterm.
   The next morning hanks bus left for San Luis at 6 am. Kacy and I went and said goodbye and headed back to the house. My train didn’t leave for Burbank airport until 9:20. I said goodbye :( and Kacy waived the Train goodbye.
   It was an actually pretty cool riding a train. It was my first time and the train took us long the coast. Once I got off at Burbank I checked in security and the gate for my plane was the closest to security. Score! Long Day but I made it back to charlotte about 11pm. One of my roommates, Victoria picked me up form the airport and we headed for the dorms.
   I still really am not a fan of my dining room instructor. I feel like she has no idea what she is doing. She is just all over the place and cant focus, or even teaches for that matter. Well only a few more days of her.
  I work tomorrow from 10:15am-11pm... Long day

Love You All Lots!
Miss you more than ever.

Dining. Hooters. Work Work Work. Cook Cook Cook

Well already its the third segment of classes right now im in essentials of dining room, and its kind of boring. Not going to lie. i was really kinda nerdy excited for the class because i thought oh yeah i know a lot about table setting and stuff but to be honest i feel like i know more than she is going to teach me. It was a really hectic day and my teacher is just returning to work after 4 years of raising kids, and maybe it was just because it was her first day back it was so hectic, but she is all over the place and very OCD. weird. I am getting more and more ideas of how i want my restaraunt feel to be but that might be a problem because now i want more than one. haha dream big right? I went to hooters today and finally got my uniform. ... Pictures to come. Nice day today in NC very sunny. Im hungry as usual. and cold at work. :) Long Day ahead of me tomorrow. But a great weekend. Can't Wait. I want to compete in a tea recipe contest i have lots of tea but no recipe, any ideas let me know.
A Simple Recipe Today. (MOP Method of Preperation)

Fettuccine Alfredo

Yields 10 Servings

Ingredients:

2 cups Heavy cream

1 oz Butter

1 ½ gal Water,

boiling, salted

1 ½ lbs Fettuccine,

fresh

5 oz Parmesan cheese,

freshly grated

Salt

Pepper

MOP:

1. Gather all the ingredients and equipment.

2. Combine 1 cup of cream and the butter in a sauté pan. Bring to a simmer, reduce by

one-fourth, and remove from heat; keep warm.

3. Drop the noodles into boiling, salted water, return to a full boil, cook until al dente,

and drain. The noodles must be slightly undercooked because they will cook further

in the cream.

4. Put the drained noodles in the pan with the hot cream and butter. Over low heat, toss

the noodles with two forks until they are well coated with the cream.

5. Add the remainder of the cream and the cheese, and toss to mix well. (If noodles

seem dry at this point, add a little more cream.)

6. Add salt and pepper to taste.

7. Plate and serve immediately. Offer additional grated cheese at the table.
