Mid-week...Is it SPRING yet?

Well, it's still cold, fairly miserable and has been very rainy this week and last weekend. Friday night, a group of us from class went to my friend Ron's house in Brooklyn for a party and Saturday I spent the entire day trailing at a fantastic restaurant that I'm pretty certain I want to do my externship at. Yay - it was very, very fun and what a rush! Sunday was mostly a lazy day - lots of TV watching (I watched "Deal or No Deal" for the first time) and couch lounging. Todd and I tried to go to Union Square on Sunday to go get brunch and we got totally washed out!! It was pouring!! Not even funny! Monday in class we made more stuff with our puff pastry - Napoleans and Fresh Fruit Strips - and today we made smaller puff pastry forms - Palmiers, cheese sticks and these wonderful little bistro apple tarts.
