My 1st Day of School II: Electric Boogaloo

Today marked my first day as a student of the Pastry Arts. The drive to the Cheyenne campus was surprisingly smooth, although it got a bit messy towards the end. But it wasn't anything serious and I made it to school on time. AND I found my classroom on time, too! It was a big accomplishment since you guys know I have a horrid sense of direction.

My basic cooking instructor seems pretty cool, though he admits he's from the old school. He's okay with my ink and hair (along with my fellow students' ink), but he's not the type to get it done to himself. I have yet to meet my pastry instructor, but I heard he's a bit tough. And I heard he's gonna make us wear the little neckerchief ties that the classic chefs used to wear. You better believe I'm gonna be wearing one!

Highlight of the day: During class, we had a mini-demonstration of what was required in terms of knives. The chef started talking about the main knife that's used: the French knife, AKA the Chef's Knife. He told us where to buy them, and it took all of my willpower to restrain myself from saying, "Or you could just mug a Tonberry."

All in all, I'm glad I chose the community college over the other culinary schools. Turns out they rock hardcore, moreso than the expensive places.

Now for stuff I need to buy:

-Knife set (preferably not a set that's been stolen from a Tonberry)
-A pair of chef shoes
-Uniform with my name and school embroidered on it
-Draw a pic of El Fuerte wearing said uniform

Oh definitely. I'll also need one to upgrade my gunblade when I get a chance.

Good luck! My brother has a culinary degree, and he seems to have thoroughly enjoyed himself.

...your icon reminds me that I totally need to make the Cooking Mama parody icon for Ayu...

Thanks! It's gonna be hard work, but I'm up for it this time around.

Now all I can think of is some weird Cooking Mama/FF crossover.

But I'm glad things are looking promising^^

Cooking with Tonberries. :D

You mess up and they use Everyone's Grudge on you. GAME. OVER.

Do they speak in cheesy Engrish?

I wonder if all the cookies come out shaped like chocobos and cactuars.

...You know, I'm now tempted to make cactaur cookies at school, just to see if anyone notices.

I love nerd-themed baked goods. Have you seen the Katamari wedding cake?

[identity profile] dominochan.livejournal.com 2009-09-02 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! Maybe I can make a nerdy cake someday too!

Once I finish cake design, that is.

So happy to hear you're having a good time! That is quite awesome about the Tonberry knife similarity. PERHAPS IT WAS ALWAYS A SIGN?

I can't wait for you to be a super pastry chef and create your own pastry, named the Poik. [....wait... that was the sound effect, right? OMG it's been so long since I've FF'ed :<]

You gotta have a mascot! I have a mascot!

Coincidentally my mascot is a wrestler too! :O
