Happy Thanksgiving...

it's that time of the year, when one takes time to count the many blessings of the year. I for one am blessed with the opportunity to be able to attend Culinary School and the opportunity to learn so much from the wonderful chefs and bakers at my internships. It was a challenging and fun learning experience, both in the sense of working at the different intern sites and balancing my life with family and work. Thank you's abound for all who have made my internship time fun and interesting:
Perche'No's - Chef David and Lily and his crew (Chris, Abdul, and Allam) who taught me to cook, and eat in an Italian Restaurant.
Pho House - Chef Kevin who taught me how to cook Vietnamese food, Mai who taught me how to quickly fabricate shrimp with a cleaver.
Boulangerie Nantaise - David and Alex who taught me how to make and bake bread, Tony who taught me how to roll croissants, Dwayne, Kutira and Tracy who taught me how to make sandwiches and work the retail side, and Mireille who gave me the opportunity to come to Boulangerie Nantaise to learn.
My co-workers at Boeing who allow me to work an erratic schedule, put up with my 'sleepy baby bear' syndrome for almost 9 months so I can pursue my dream of a Culinary education.
Most of all, my family who made the sacrifice and encouraged me to keep going to when I had wanted to give up.

Thank you to all and many blessing for a Happy Thanksgiving!
