School starts tomorrow!

I've never written a blog before, but school starts tomorrow and I think a blog describing the ins and outs of Culinary School would be an interesting thing to read or write about. I won't list the name of the school but it's in Dallas and I'm sure if you're reading this you already know anyway. School lasts for 18 months, then I do a 3-month internship at a restaurant that can be anywhere in the world(let's do this thing, Italy!).

My schedule starts at 7am with Culinary Foundations I and ends at 1pm after Food Safety and Sanitation. That's right, no algebra, english, history or Spanish(yet). Try to contain your jealousy.

I'm required to wear a uniform daily, even in non-kitchen classrooms. I must be wearing and have with me at all times:

A white chef's coat,
white cravat(weird neck tie thing),
herringbone pants(basically thick, checkered pajama pants),
black non-skid shoes,
white skull cap,
side towel,
apron,
and a thermometer.

The Chef Instructors basically wear the same thing except with black pants instead of herringbone and a white pleated toque(tall chef's hat) instead of a skull cap. I'll do my best to upload a picture of myself wearing the uniform once I learn how to tie this friggin cravat, but no promises.

I figure there won't be any more interesting news for at least a few days, I'll try to take some pictures of the food and other cool stuff at school but I don't know how keen they'll be on that. We'll see.

Thanks for reading, cheers.
