Use your knife!

Ok, firstly I am terribly sorry to have neglected all of my "followers" for so long.. But I'm back now and never see any of you anyways, so no complaining that Ive been a blog slacker.. (lindsey)


Last week, while walking past most of my ward having FHE, one of the girls noticed that I was carrying a long rectangular box and said, "kelly, I didn't know you could play the flute!?"
I looked at her very confused. (anybody that knows me knows that I am musically retarded) I laughed and said, "this isnt a flute...these are butcher knives!" she looked affronted and most of my ward looked at me nervously. After this encounter I realized that I should be more open about my being in culinary school. I am very proud of this and LOVE it. I just try to avoid seeing people in my culinary "uniform" (vomit) thats all :)

Showing you how I look in my nasty uniform is a one time deal! That was a fruit pastry my class made me for my birthday. PS making pastry dough from scratch is SO not worth it. very fatty and delicous though :)



I made this little guy in beginning bakeshop. Totally won the bread sculpture contest. (mom i did the "fishtail" that you used to do to my hair!)


This was my final show platter for Garde Manger class (cold foods) mixed veggi salad, canapes with dredged apples, chicken salad and candied walnuts, then a chicken gallentine down the center with a cabbage and carrot crust and spinach (among tons of other things) center. A+!

This is my advanced hot foods midterm. macadamia nut encrusted tilapia with forbidden rice garnished with fresh coconit, plantain chip, mix greens infused with a pieapple vinigarette, and finished with a pomegranite buerre rouge. I entered this into a competition I did last weekend. no metals but still got an A :) also, this was a practice one. the final product was much much prettier. sadly i didnt take a picture of it.

The Girls

Ok here is a picture of the "condo girls" for fall '09. Baley, Lanni, Macey, me, and Whitney.This was taken at our friend Brookes wedding reception. Semester is gonna be great ! :)

Of Late.

Here is a quick look at Fall semester thus far..





As i dont have a picture of all the new roomies yet this one will have to suffice. "decades" Institute dance.
Building a dam at the log house. The little boys did so good! " kelly, you get in there! your expendible!"-my mom
Dad taking my stitches out. "He did a baseball stitch, the dork!"
Happy wedding Ashley!

"why yes, yes I am"

As my family can attest, I have had trouble in the past deciding what to do with my life.. I think, at present, the number of majors declared stands at 5. After much deliberation however and two weeks at the beach with my besties, I have finally decided what to do. NOTHING. (well, at the beach) How could I have not seen that before? DUH! I am sure in this choice I will be completely fulfilled, and 100% happy. PLUS it will help me to grow as a person, its not easy ya know :) Going to the beach everyday, wearing flowy dresses, no makeup, and flip flops. It really is difficult. Sleeping in everyday, going shopping, reading fiction, and sun tanning. Rough. So, your welcome world! I am entering the "work force" and the "real world" Woot! Woot!

"kelly why dont you ever put pictures up of yourself?!"

Here you go mom.. here are a few things Ive done in the last 2-3 weeks.
80's dancing. I was MADE for that era. sigh
Modeling in a sunset. ego boosting lol
Hiking Bridal Veil falls. so much fun!
I was WAY car sick on the way up to a hike. Vomit.
Hiking up to the the Timp caves. very cool.

So there you have it! I wish i had more pictures to show everything else.

Engaged...

Hello world of bloggers. Just to preface, this post will be a very Mormon-esque entry. Im SO tired of hearing/seeing the word "engaged" I am particularly bummed about it this week because 3 people younger than me and 2 people close to me got engaged. I'm annoyed. Really world? really? If its not bad enough that I lost two of my sisters to it in one year, I am now losing too many friends to it just this summer . . . Still annoyed. P.S. yes, I AM aware that I sound selfish,bitter, and petty. But at the moment I am. So there. :) I'm hating that I cant hangout with my friends anymore, and will never be able to until I "join the club". well P.S. world...im ok with being on the chess team for the moment. I just wish that everybody else was on it with me. So theres my rant. :)
