French Restaurant---French 101 style :0)

Un Gout de Paris

un restaurant francais

Ch. 5 in my French 101 class was on food. I decided to spruce things up a bit so throughout the unit we had a cooking show, a taste-testing day, and then our final "project" was planning, preparing and carrying out our very own French restaurant. Each student was asked to bring a French food item, write a creative name and description (in French) to put into the menu and then translate the recipe into French for our bilingual cookbook. Anyway, here are some pictures from the restaurant. And I was SO thankful to Bry, Matt and Rach who came in to work in the kitchen. It was great!

Just keeping busy!

So I apologize that we got our blog up and running and then haven't posted anything. C'est la vie, eh? :0) Anyway, life is great! We're keeping nice and busy keeping up with school and such. Bry is definitely putting forth a noble effort to finish out his degree strong! I am proud of him! Things are not nearly as busy for me now that three of my ESL endorsement classes (BEEDE courses) have ended. I of course always have homework I could be working on, but I prefer working on lesson plans and experimenting in the kitchen! But don't you worry, the homework WILL get done...sooner than later :0)

This evening our Relief Society had a book review centered on the Savior. We were supposed to read anything we wanted (books, magazines, articles, etc.) on Christ and then come and share our favorite quotes and testimonies. It was funny because almost everyone ended up sharing from the March 2008 Ensign, and appropriately so. I was thinking how easy and cool it'd be to do a "book review" on the monthly Ensign.

So, there you have it a little update on what's new for us. We hope all is going well for you all as well! :0)

Goofy Graden marries Silly Sheets. This is what you get! :0)

Finally up and running!...

The idea of having a blog has been in the works for quite some time, and our blog is finally up and running! Anyway, we'll do our best to keep it up-to-date and worth visiting!
