This past Sunday I finally climbed to the top of Notre Dame. The view was beautiful, and it was especially nice to get a different perspective on my neighborhood. I also went to the wine museum of Paris, it is filled with tons of old tools and artifacts pertaining to the creation and consumption of wine. You can see the variety of old wine bottle openers on the left.
I had a pretty full week of class, we made the three kings cake, pastry twists, chocolate and pistachio log cake or "buche" cake, and a hazelnut with chocolate ganache cake. I had my final practical yesterday, so I won't be taking home any more baked goods from class. Then I have one more demonstration on Friday, and the final exam next Thursday!
