Weekend and Prac. exam

Good weekend, parents came to town :) spent the two days walking around London, hearing stories of when I was growing up. Screamed my way through my christening apparently, which I'm told is a good thing as it signifies the devil leaving the body (a process which mum said didn't fully complete itself..clever Mum).

Also, today we had a mock practical exam to get us ready for 2 weeks from now :) We cooked Italian bread, Vichyssoise (Potato and Leek soup) and Chicken with saffron and lemon served with couscous.  Went well, relatively pain free, bread slightly under-salted, vichyssoise was more like a puree (not enough milk added) but the chicken was cooked well, sauce good, couscous slightly under-seasoned but good, and all done in 2.5 hrs. WOOO!

Chicken, vichyssoise and Italian bread

Winner winner chicken lunch!

Hope you're all good and happy.

Speak soon, love Steffi.
