Today in class we made cinnamon rolls and sticky buns. The recipe was an approximation of the same recipe used by Cinnabon. Mmm-mmm good! I love cinnamon rolls. Especially Cinnabon with the cream cheese icing. But these were even better and the sticky buns with honey-caramel sauce and pecans were to die for.

We had our first test in baking today too. I haven't gotten my grade yet, but I think I did pretty good. It was all about the effects of yeast, salt, sugar, flour, etc on bread. We had to describe the different kinds of flours and know the steps of yeast bread production and processes that occur during baking, what each step does and why it is necessary, tempertures when different things occur like gelatinization, coagulation, when yeast dies, etc. Lots of stuff to know, but I think I got through it ok.

I can't belive the way people gossip and spread rumors. They were even talking about people who dropped out of class the first week we started back in October. Nothing malicious, just stupid stuff. The worst one turned out not to be true. We I showed up today everyone was talking about a classmate who was dropping out. Bbut he showed up and said that he isn't. Even he couldn't believe that everybody had heard about it becasue he had only told a couple people that he was "thinking about it." I don't really have to listen. I could just stay away from everybody until class starts, but I want to be friendly and part of the group. I liked getting included in the after class excursion to a local tavern last Friday. If I stay away, people will think I don't want to be included anymore.

Brandon was a subject for the rumor mill again today. It seems that he's a bit of a mystery man. For all of his joking, clowning, and flirting, no one really seems to know him. Even though he's a huge flirt, he appraently doesn't date anyone. There's lots of speculation. Someone said they heard he is still a virgin (nothing wrong with that IMHO), someone else said they heard he was gay, another said that he's a Mormon. I'd love to know more about him, but I can't get into sreading rumors and just speculating. I wish that they could just let it be that he's a nice kid and let him be who and what he is. I just love the fact that when he sees me for the first time each day he sort of raises his eyebrows and smiles with a wonderful sort of boyish enthusiasm. I can't help but smile back and feel better afterwards. The kid just seems to be genuinely happy. That seems to bother some people, I guess.

Think good thoughts,
e
