See? Sun was still sleeping when I left the house~
2 dishes on the right were prepared by my group (that’s Grilled Porkchops w Caramelized Apples and Chicken Breast w Capers, Olives and Basil)
**actually I think I wasnt any help at all.. I made the caramelized apples. Blanched some beets and cut em and that was it :/

Hmm that was weird
I thought I posted something already it even appeared on my twitter but unfortunately it says url not found and it wont appear on my posts..
So anyway I was waiting for the train at around six in the morning
Went to check my schedule at work (third pic.. Thats work)
Went to school for my lunch shift at the schools restaurant. Will be working as the entremetier (vegetables) until next week I think.
Discovered a Takoyaki vendor on the streets (so far this is the best takoyaki ive had in vancouver). Vietnamese food after, my fortune cookie had 3 paper
- today is a good time to take some extra relaxation
- be patient, good things come to people who wait
- you will bring sunshine to someone’s life

Jewon~
Another early morning class.. Forgot my phone so I wasnt able to take a picture of the dish we made for our schools restaurant.
The day before Chef Ben told us to change the mussels and clams dish so Mike and I (as were both in the entremetier station) came up with Thai Green Curry Mussels.
Some of my classmates took a picture but I have to wait until they post it in fb.
So anyhoo since I didnt have a phone or a camera I told my boyfriend to send me a picture of him.. Haha so there. Domo and my Jewon ^^

Day 19
Woke up early for my EMDR. Waited for Jewon at the train station and went to school together. Submitted some assignments and ate lunch.
It was such a cold day so we went somewhere close. Joyeaux Cafe (or whichever way you spell it). its actually a Vietnamese place so we had some noodle soup-pho kind of thing. Usually the place is very quiet but today was so busy and all our food came out really quick. It was kinda embarassing to take food pictures as a lot of people are waiting for seats.
So all I have is the Deep Fried Banana w Vanilla Ice Cream. Been craving for deep fried banana, wish the banana was more firm and not mushy.

Wow its February already?! I know its a bit late but I spent the first of February with my bf.
Went to see him as early as 9am. Remember how we were talking about our menu project so we met today to try out some dishes. So after making a grocery list we went to Hmart (a korean grocery store, of course haha) since they dont carry basil and flour is heavy we went to the normal Canadian grocery..
He was doing all the cooking while I slept LOL he prepped a lot of stuffs that we would be bringing to school tomorrow. And then he woke me up for dinner.
Went to Sushi Bella to try an Italian-Japanese fusion food. The sushi pizza was really yummy :)

Helped out at Oru before my afternoon class. Was only supposed to stay until 12pm but there was a lot to do so i stayed half an hour longer.
