Amy, you are such a trooper! Your day sounds something like Alexander and The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day!! I am really enjoying hearing all about your Cordon Bleu experience. Even when things are going wrong your sense of humor is so refreshing! Hang in there!!

I literally just realized our new house doesn’t have a fire extinguisher in the kitchen. Going to buy one stat! Thank you for potentially staving off a disaster at the Zierk residence.

Le plus important c'est de finir ce qu'on a commencé ...même avec un peu de fumée !

Je suis complètement d'accord, la version française de "Happy Birthday" quelle horreur !

ça devrait être interdit.

Amy, you are the ultimate definition of perseverance! Keep in mind, every good chef has had a kitchen fire at some point! I LOVE your blogs! Not only are you going to be the best Chef in Dallas, but you are also an amazing writer! I cannot wait for the next one!

Oh Amy!!! I have so enjoyed reading your adventures and appreciate your candor and humor - I know looking back one day you will be laughing hysterically. I admire your tenacity- I think i would have just cried! Too bad the teacher didn’t appreciate the smoked trout!

“Not a quitter though…” jumped off the page of your evocative writing. The fish looked beautiful and the story was riveting! So I give you a 5. Love you!
