summary of the week

Monday of course I had my patisserie class, which went well. And then headed to Cafe des Negotiates where we all meet up every week. Jess and I made plans and Tuesday we went shopping through all the markets and went to the natural history museum-where there is a special on the migration of penguins and tortuses. Wednesday in Dialogues de Cinema we watched Ameli! Thursday, the rest of my class presented food from their countries. Freddy made a pineapple cocktail(Equador), Eka made rice with spices and crab on top(Indonesia), Celia made noodles with different kinds of mushrooms, peppers and squash(Taiwan), Anna made cornflake treats since they don`t have rice krispies here(USA), Tassim made rice with vegetables and spices wrapped in grape leaves(Turkey), and Yilmes made Baklava with a caramel topping!(Turkey): different than in Greece. It was baked and in littles balls!!!!!!
Then I had my second wine class and we learned about how wine is made and why some places times it is better for vines to be on hilltops and other times it is better in valley. At the end Guilliame gave me the rest of one of the wines we tasted because he knew I really enjoyed it!!! I was from his friends vineyard and is a Saumery Chirac. Thursday and Friday it was warm enough to just wear a jacket...yeah!!! Had Eileigh, Lauren, Iris and Sophia over for lunch and we listened to some country music, so I thought about home:) Tomorrow we are going to Marseilles...if the buses and trains are done being on strike. Then going to see "The Life Aquatic" on Sunday afternoon!
