Summer Classes

I took Summer classes this year.  I took FAB 159 at UNLV and Math 126 at CSN.

The FAB class was a cooking class.  I had to wear a chef's coat, pants, apron, cap, and shoes.  It made for a warm kitchen.  It started at 7:30 in the morning and went to when the professor said we could leave, though the schedule said 11:10 am.  We learned all sorts of interesting things about foods and the history of restaurants and food industry.  For example when they settled on what the courses should be for meals, they settled on 17 course meals.  The last five courses being: 13) fruit and cheese, 14) sweets, 15) dessert, 16) chocolate, 17) brandy/scotch.  The professor was rather interesting.  I consider myself a decent cook.  I know my way around a kitchen.  He was upset when our kitchen was assigned to cook a pot roast and it wasn't done in the one hour he gave us.  Not sure why he was upset.  Why give us a recipe you know there isn't enough time to cook?  I just don't get it.

The math class was much better than at UNLV.  The professor told us to make sure we had a calculator so we could actually complete the math assignments.  A much better philosophy than UNLV.  I actually understood the math.  I haven't received a grade yet, but am fairly certain that I passed.  I am just glad that I am done with classes for the summer.

Updates to the blog

I will just be updating the blog from here on out.  I will do very little back tracking.  Mainly I just don't remember everything.  Sorry we have been so out of touch.
