I Made It Through...

Yeah, I finally made it. Yesterday I went & got my stitiches out. A much bigger incision than my first. Today I went & got my hand brace. The doctor who did my surgery reminded me to wear it all the time at least for awhile, maybe that's why I'm having more problems with my right, I didn't follow the doctor's orders. I've had it on all day today & man do I want to take it off. I'll sleep with it tonight & then give it some air tomorrow.

Thursday I start my new cake class. I talked to the instructor tonight & basically it's just going to be a review of our final third cake class. Next week we'll start something new. She said don't worry about bringing a cake in this week, I can just work with Deb. Most of the stuff she said that we'd be doing we've been doing already, mainly because we didn't stop after the cake classes, that helped a lot. Kelly had told me that this class is pretty easy but what she probably didn't know is that my carpal was so bad that I couldn't even work the fondant out to spread it out. My instructor helped a lot, Deb helped, Joan helped, & Nicol, my neighbor helped out. Fondant is fun to work with but it comes in a big package that looks like clay & probably feels as hard as clay. It takes quite a bit of time to work it through where you can roll it out.

Tonight I made dinner for Tim, Deb & the kids, & us. We were all getting together to watch the final of Hell's Kitchen. But first we had to watch Wipeout. Have any of you seen that show? If you want something stupid but funny to watch try it out. We all get a kick out of it. It only started 3wks ago & every week the obstacles are a little bit different. The announcers are pretty funny too. They give each of the contestants a nickname & say some pretty funny stuff as they are all wiping out.

Hell's Kitchen is another story. Schane' keeps asking why it's called Hell's Kitchen. I keep telling her would you like to cook under somebody who yells in your face all the time? She keeps saying no but every week she keeps asking the same story. Deb never watched it until she came over to my house one night for dinner & I got her hooked on it. Tim got me hooked on it so it was my turn to get somebody else hooked. We all figured the 42 yr old male would take it because he had more experience but Chef Ramsey chose the 24 yr old female, a culinary student. The show is really kind of funny to watch. There are a lot of bleeps but there are some funny moments too. You also question the producers on where they find some of these cooks. There were two on this season that nobody could stand & they just proved it tonight that they don't belong anywhere near a kitchen.

It's 10:30 & Schane' has been in the computer room at least 4 times wanting me to come watch the final part of a movie she's watching before going to bed. So I will leave it at that. Good night!
