I am wearing my rain dear PJ's today with my new crazy santa hat. It is also our gift exchange day. I love the person I got for my secret Santa gift person. she's cute and funny just like me. We both love cats, art and drawing. the only difference is she's older than me. But for the over all this day is so far a good one.

December 19 ,2017 Christmas Cooking at Civitian Services
Thank you to Food network Star Donnie Ferneau and executive chef Casey Copeland for helping me out today at Civitan Services Cooking demonstration . We made a honey glazed ham with mashed potatoes and green bean Casserole. I had a blast cooking today alongside with my both of my mentors . This has been one amazing experience that I have never had before and I'm really interested in it . I am having a blast being able to work and learn from my mentors. I honestly cannot wait for the next time that I actually get to work alongside these two chefs. They are amazing people and very kind hearted. This was very amazing I cannot wait to do this again.

November 28 ,2017
This week has been a pretty good one. It is practical's week which means were doing practice exams for finals next week it's almost the end of the semester!!!!!! This week we are making chili. I don't prefer to eat that it's not my favorite but I deal with it. It's not my favorite type of meal I still eat it though without complaint. In culinary school we have to try things or may not like it's a requirement . It's part of the experience of culinary school . I has been few things that I don't care for but I tried . You have to be willing to try new things when doing this position . I have learned this from my mentors .
Try new things is a good thing you may not like some of it but at least you're trying it . This week we are back to school from Thanksgiving break. Yesterday I was in my sanitation class and we were actually cleaning up from the school year in the semester there are other classes that I actually go in to the community Ed room and cook in there and we were the ones cleaning up and making it look nice for next semester . It's what our dean wanted us to do . The dean of the school is Todd Gold. Also this year i'm going to be helping Miss Summerly decorate the office Christmas tree . There are over 300 chef Santas that we have to put on the tree . I'm looking forward to it . It's only three weeks to finals but I'm not nervous at all because I know what's expected of me . Do you guys ever get nervous when you have finals coming up???? Let me know in the comments!!!!

For King and Country Christian band
For King and country is one of my favorite bands I get to see much at amplify Feast this year at the beginning of college. I did not get the chance to film them but I wanted to my phone had died so I could not film there show. I hope that someday when I come back to Arkansas I can film and possibly meet them that would be an awesome experience for me and possibly ask them a few questions and log it here but maybe someday that will happen. Their show run wild was absolutely amazing!!!! I would recommend it to anyone who has not seen for a king and country they must see it this show !!!!! If they ever come back to Arkansas I'm definitely going with my family. They get a five star rating in my book !!!!!

May 15, 2017 looks like I'm going to college
Dear Readers,
Today I found out that I am going to Culinary School. I'm on cloud 9 with this feeling that I can now go to a actual college for the first time in my life!!!!! This is going to be one cool experience for me. I have already got to impress the Dean of my school!! I also got to go to a cooking competition called Diamond Chef. I had a blast there . I even got to meet some of the contestants that were competing in the competition there. They are very nice over there and very loving. I like the fact that when you walk in it seems that they want you to be there . This is going to be one very cool experience that I'm about to have . The teachers and staff are a very interesting and acceptable to people like me. They loved the fact that I love to cook and that I want to learn more about cooking, and also learning about the culinary world , and also how to get a job when I graduate. I can't wait for school to finally start . The fitting for my uniform is towards the end of July I will keep you posted on how that goes !!!!
Sincerely ,
Alisa Mcconnell
