F2 (Foundations 2) Class went swell today :)
Today is my first day of Fundamental2 = F2 class at Le Cordon Bleu taking Culinary Class. It’s a 12 months program and I never had any regrets in taking this class from the first day!
Mind you, I am now with the early morning class that starts at 6am – 935am. I have to sleep at 9-930pm at night to be able to wake up at 415am Mondays-Fridays. Why so early? Well, you all know that I have 2-4 legged kids right. Here are they:

Yumi
So I wake up at 415am to “let the dogs out” for potty and or poop. That takes 10-15 mins. Then I go take a bath, dry my hair, eat breakfast, get dressed. Have to leave the house at 5am , the latest 515 am to get to the school before 6am.
The class went swell today. We made our hands-on Brown Veal Stock. That started with veal bones and Mirepoix. (25% carrots, 25% celery, 50% onions) for flavoring and aromatic. We put maybe to 3 oz of tomato paste in there for coloring and flavoring the stock. Nice! It’s just 11 of us so we all get to see the demo and nice environment to really see everything. We also did some knife cuts practice. And ofcourse don’t ever forget the cleaning. Chef Kim was great 
Sense of Urgency and time limits are both what I liked about what she reinforced today.
Came home at 11am today, let the dogs out again. Took a shower, ate my lunch, did my errands at most importantly planned my whole week, using my Simply Effective Planner. This Simply effective planner is my Misenplace in my life. Without this Planner, my brain and me, myself and Gina is chaos!
Currently it’s now 115pm and I have to get ready to dress up for my work as a Weight Loss Consultant. So see you later!
Need to get goin…
Oh and by the way, we were asked, “Why are we at that school taking that program?” My answer: Because I want to be an Executive Chef in 3-5 yrs from now and own a Filipino American Restaurant 6-10 years from now. Very specific eh?!
