Cooking School in Brittany

Mom was fortunate to take a week off in June for cooking school in Brittany.  (Thank you Dad!) My friend Noreen, who I met at another cooking class, and I bravely hopped on a train to a tiny town near the coast.  What a great week it turned out to be.  Noreen and I shared many laughs along with our cooking buddies (Marade from Ireland, Linda from Australia) while we chopped our way through the week. They  allowed us to sleep in but by 10 am we had our knives and cutting boards at work.  We finished lunch by 2 and spent the afternoons walking about the rural town and its unique inhabitants, visiting other neat towns such as Jocelyn and Dinan and walking amongst the cows.  Then we reported back by 5 to make dinner and enjoy a 3-4 course meal with beaucoup du vin.  Noreen and I stumbled back to our apt giggling about this and that after midnight and were thankful to be able to sleep in.

We weren't sure we would graduate or if they would just want to get rid of us.  But thankfully, the last night we passed the quiz and enjoyed our last meal with our homemade elder flower cordial and champagne along with beef wellington.
