Last week I started my Cordon Bleu Basic Patisserie course. 15 hours of demonstrations and practicals over 2 days. I was so exhausted on by the end of Friday that it was all I could do to get my stuff together and get home with my still piping hot Pear Jalousie.
I have much preparation to do before my next class. Not in terms of studying but rather mental preparation for the practical sessions. I was very cross with myself after Friday's class as I felt like I had somehow let myself down. My puff pastry didn't go as it should and I just generally felt like I wasn't on top of things. I know why, of course - I was far more stressed out and tense than I should have been. I guess I had pretty high expectations of myself and also, it's quite important for me to do well. But in retrospect, if I had been a little more relaxed, I would have been able to concentrate better and probably enjoyed myself a bit more.
So my mission for this week is to chill out a bit and have some fun - I am there to learn after all! Besides, on the agenda is custard - yum yum!!! :)
