Well, here it is - the much anticipated photo of my patisserie class at Le Cordon Bleu.  Front Row (left to right):  Shima, Rachel, Tara, Baryl, Kim, and Da.  Back Row:  me, Eddie, Miggy, Bill, and Dobs.  Unfortunately two classmates are missing from the photo; the first is a girl whose name I have forgotten, as she has been absent 7 out of the 9 days class has been held thus far.  The other is Hathaway, who last week decided to name herself after the Princess Diaries star because she was tired of her original name choice, "Suki," being misconstrued as "Sushi."  Hathaway's given Chinese name is pronounced "Uh-uh," like the way a toddler might say "no".  Needless to say, the diverse cultures and personalities in the kitchen are consistently entertaining, and we all continue to learn about one another in addition to the intricacies of patisserie.

You all look great in your toques, and the names are fabulous. And Hathaway is better than Suki, for sure.

Enjoy the weekend!

Callie and Wilson. After "friending" Mr. Nash on facebook, Graham pointed me to your blog. I'm guessing he's giving your dad a serious facebook tutorial! I've loved reading about these early adventures you've taken on. Please keep the updates coming! I need some excitment now that I'm staying at home with the children! Callie, check out my blog www.mosshouse.blogspot.com and go back a few posts to see my attempt at rolled sugar cookies. When you get back, maybe you can help me upgrade to that yummy fruit tart!
