So tomorrow is my final day of baking and pastry!! WOOOOO! Part of me is going to miss that class but having a bunch more free time and not having cakes constantly in my house will be nice. Today was my practical which consisted of us drawing a cake out of a hat and making it. It's funny to think that at NIU finals consisted of tests with 100 or so questions but now I have a final where I make a cake. (Not bad haha) But everything went well, no crazy drama or mishaps.

Now to the more exciting news. Last Saturday my mom, dad, John and I went to Topolo Bombo and it was sooo amazing. I've never been lucky enough to go to a restaurant like that and we had so much fun. We each got a different tasting menu (5 courses) with the matching wines (5 different wines)...Dinner took 4 hours! My mom and dad ordered the Oaxacan menu, I had the Celebration menu, and John had the Adventures menu. Here is the link so you can see what we ate Tasting Menu.
But it really everything was amazing, all the food was delicious and beautifully plated and the staff was so fantastic. Our waiter was so knowledgeable I could only imagine how long it took him to learn and remember all that information. Any time "John" had a question he always had an answer. On top of that any time the next wine or course came out he went around the table and explained to us what we were about to try. And the other great part is that I finally got to see Frontera Grill!! It was so weird to think that I'm going to get the opportunity to intern in such an amazing place...Now I just have to eat there =)
