Back to work…

Today I finally got to go back to the institute so it felt great to be busy and useful again. The group of students we have this week are “stagiaires” or interns from schools in Lebanon and Morocco, but they are not part of the alliance like the previous groups. We did pain campagne, ciabatta and pain de tradition and croissants.

The group is alright but there are a few who don’t seem interested and chat a lot and get distracted. Because of this they work pretty slow which sucks for the few that seem really keen to work and learn. One girl is really slower than a sack of shit... but you can only teach someone as much as they allow you to teach them.

For lunch today we had a starter of a salad of celeriac remoulade, crevettes, pomme et pompelmousse rouse (celeriac remoulade, shrimp, apple and grapefruit). Really tasty...

Main was chicken breast with a brown chicken jus, cous cous and a tomato and red pepper sauce/relish.

My French is improving really nicely as I can form pretty decent sentences and can communicate effectively with people when enquiring about something or when shopping. I am beginning to explain stuff to the students in French and I can understand about 80% or what Chef Berthomier says now.

My corner superette doesn’t have Monster or tonic....wtf. So I’m having Gin and Agrum’ now. Yeah boooooi!

CHEERS !
