don't forget to check out my superlong post about the weekend up until Tuesday below :P

Yesterday Phil & I went to my school to do an observation! We were shown around by Chef Warren while the current culinary class was listening to a lecture by Chef Tony (one of the owners), and the pastry class was making alternative desserts for vegans, lactose intolerant people, etc. The layout of the school is pretty great. From front to back (it's a rectangle; short front and back, long sides): office, lecture area with demo area and whiteboards on either wall, stoves and workspaces (4 people to a stove, 2 people to a workspace), teacher's workspace (one of them runs a catering business!), pastry work area (they have their own ovens and tables, etc.), bathrooms and fridges/freezers, and finally, lockers! The actual learning and work areas take up about 70-80% of the building.


Anyways, when Chef Tony was done the lecture, we were introduced, and he invited us to come back next week to the dinner the current students are hosting as part of their final project! There's a very limited space and we get to go! Also we'll be among a bunch of chefs from around Vancouver who will be helping to mark the meal! I'm pretty excited :)

Then we biked home (half hour each way) OH first we stopped at Starbucks for tea lemonades that reeeally hit the spot on the hot day. Then we lazed around (probably watched Gilmore Girls), and ordered pizza! Phil went on a ride with a bike shop and i did some yoga, and then we went down to Kits beach to watch fireworks! It's an annual competition where a few countries put a show together to music. Last night was Mexico (we missed Spain and the US), and it was awesome!! The best fireworks i think i've ever seen. We are going to see China (the last one) on Saturday :)

ps. i have discovered good toilet paper and it is Purex.
