weds at the latest, was the last i heard from them. i have arranged for the housecleaning to take place on Thursday so they better be done completely by then. Got quite a bit of stuff put back away in the new cabinets this past weekend. i am hoping that the backsplash will be done when i get home today. i’m most excited for that.
xsboy will have a new kitchen to practice his new cooking skills in. He is taking 2 gut classes this, his senior year, one is a cooking class. It meets for 3 hours every Thursday. It is given in a kitchen and they make something every week. First week it was omelettes. This past week he learned to make a ROUX [think he was surprised i knew what it was!] which they added cheese to, to make mac n cheese, and they also made chili con queso with it, along with homemade salsa. This week is supposed to be “searing chicken and shellfish.” SOOO glad we are paying $50k per year for him to learn to cook! he dang well better get a job when he’s done! he’s also taking a class in COACHING. he said there are 4 SU football players in that class. The teacher said there would be random men in and out of the class, making sure that the football players were actually attending.
We didn’t have that kind of fluff at CMU.
Getting close. Woo woo!
If he ends up with a job out of town he will have to cook for himself. Good that he is learning.
I hope xsboy conquered the roux-I never have. I had a frog friend and co-worker from Canada-Quebec-who always brought delicious food to company parties-but whenever I asked her for a recipe, she’d start with first you make a roux, to which I’d reply no, first YOU make a roux...
