Study: Quinn, Cindy and Jocelyne went for yoga in front of Parliament of Canada today, that was cool! I might do that if weather allows next week! :-) Cindy, Jocelyne and I met up in Blue Bird Coffee and did little studying, very little I must say. We had a great chat though. Then we went to have dinner in Lone Star Texas Grill , we were happy that Jocelyne could find something vegetarian on the menu :-) Again, great chat, ladies!! :-)
Cindy and I got Chicken and Beef Fajitas, don't worry, Jocelyne got Veggie Fajitas, no meat :-)

Workshop #212: Before class today, Jeremie from Student Service saw me sitting in the student lounge, and asked if he had given me something after Open Doors Event. I said no. Then he went up to the office and came back down, and gave me this:
Our final SP practical class today! We were divided into different groups, and made something Chef Hervé Chabert told us to in different scenario. Group Jocelyne, Cindy and Leslie made Entremets fruits des champs, and Tarte passion-framboise for gluten-free clients. We basically used rice flour instead of all purpose flour for the recipes. Then later, Chef Hervé told us that his client wanted us to make her Banana bread for breakfast. We needed to search for recipe online and make it right a way. Lisa requested chocolate on top of the banana breads, and Jocelyne made her own streusel! We had finished everything so far, and we decided to make sugar decoration for the cakes. I made 1 rose with leaves, Jocelyne made 2 roses with leaves, and Cindy made a ribbon (she also did a chocolate flower decor). I think we did a very good job! Best Team!! LOL Then we gathered our products together, and each group leader explained to the class what they did. It was a fun final class. We took some group pictures in the end. Next time we are in this kitchen will be for our final exam on next Tuesday!
