I know that this is off topic and that I am a relative newcomer to this forum, but you all have become my extended cyber family and I know you are all food oriented, so I figured you would share in our family's accomplishment and allow me a moment to brag.
Friday morning we will have the pleasure of watching Chelsea officially receive her graduation toque from the CIA. I can't believe how the time has gone, seems like only yesterday her Dad and I were shaking our heads and asking her if she really understood what she was getting into! But much to our surprise she dug in and thrived up there. She will be one of five out of a class of 90+ who will actually graduate on time. Go figure!
I can't wait! She is finishing her rotation in the Escoffier Room and after service Thursday night, they will be sampling champagnes and learning to saber a bottle. She has gotten permission for me to be a little mouse and watch.
Then she finagled reservations for us to the "E Room" for Friday night. Since it will be the new class starting on Friday, they will not be ready to prepare all of the menu items that they would normally do table-side, but it will still be an incredible experience, and she will be able to talk us through it.
So, I am packing the tissues and the waterproof mascara!
