Avrei preferito fare il cioccolato su Salsiccia Lunedi poi la Domenica

That says: I would rather make chocolate on Monday then sausage on Sunday. I am in Italy and in bed. Because I have a foot issue. And today we were supposed to make sausage...I opted out of the sausage because as a Pastry Chef I would rather be ready to go for the chocolate class on Monday where we get to make Nativities then make sausage.

By the way, I'm in Italy. HAZAA! My wives *story to come later* are working hard...or perhaps hardly working right now because I bet its lunch time or close to it. But thats okay, I did stray out with my crappy foot to find some food and of course a bottle of wine. The food...not so great. It was anisey potatoes and crappy pizza. I wish I had gone somewhere else. But the wine is fantastic!!!

So far the trip has been amazing. The cooking has been interesting. The wine has flowed, the food never seems to stop and I will never again eat a pastry in my life after this trip. That is the only thing they eat for breakfast over here and they have a HORRIBLE obsession with fennel. I say this because I HATE fennel with an undying passion.

There would be pics with this short post, but I have no way to post them and my phone doesnt want to charge itself over here so you're stuck with nothing...or I'll find something on the Internet. BRB. Okay, never mind. My pictures are better. So you'll have to wait.

ALSO!!!! I will be making a cats of Italy calender. Thats right. I'll post a link right here and you can buy one. It will be EPIC! As there are many awesome cats here and I love them all.

So yes, as I sit in bed doing nothing but drinking wine and wishing I had something else to eat...I hope you all are in good spirits and I wish I could watch Glee and Once Upon a Time over here...but it wont let me. sad sad day.

My kitty is sick and I may jump off a bridge

Good lord life has been hard. First off its been a billion degrees here on the east coast. And then I have chocolates class with the devil himself *I know because he’s mean and adorable at the same time. Don’t you think that sounds like the Devil? I think so*

The baking kitchen last week by the time we left chocolates class was 95 degrees. That’s 12 hours of heat above 80ish. I think that’s how it started when we first got to class. And you know what…? Our teacher…the devil…told us to get wasted on Thursday. He said that’s the only way we could get through our chocolate class. Sadly we had no time to get wasted…hence…HE IS THE DEVIL!

What have we decided? We’ll buy a bottle of wine ever Wed and Thur and share it between the “cool” people. Yes, there is a cool group when it comes to chocolate. Not in it? Stop bitching and calling people cunts and crackers and being little shits. THEN maybe you’ll be in it and can partake of our wine.

On the flip side my cat is sick. He’s a boy cat and since Sunday has been bleeding and peeing where he shouldn’t be. Well…no cat should bleed, but you get my drift. My cats mean the world to me. I mean really. I am sitting here on my couch making sure he’s not dead, drinking…a LOT and crying. If something would happen to my cats then the Devil will have a SHIT storm to deal with.

So my week has been crazy. I skipped class today. I don’t care, it wasn’t cakes or chocolates. I don’t give a shit. Hopefully this week gets better. Pray for me you non-sinners. Only you can save me…or maybe that bottle of vodka on my counter…
