Ok, wow. This was a packed day. Basically we got some history of the Cordon Bleu, what a kitchen brigade is, more details on what the class is (that is culinary foundations), certain knife cuts, and real practice using our knives. It doesn't sound like much but trust me, it was.

While the sheer amount of knowledge is intimidating the knife practice actually got me nervous to point I stopped feeling my legs. Now, I wasn't having a stroke, it was nerves from wanting something so bad and being worried about failing. Thankfully I was told I largely did fine but should work on even-ing out my cuts some. (Lesser post because I really need to catch up on some reading, the kids do a good job of preventing me from reading when they see me)
