October 26th, day of the George Brown Collage (GBC) open house.
GBC was my first choice for post secondary options for a while, whether it be in the chef training program or apprenticeship or whatever. I knew that was the top school in Ontario and after visiting yesterday I am reassured more than ever of the respect the programs deserve.
However I don't like anything else about the collage. The campus, the residence (or lack there of), The kitchens and labs were good, however I was expecting a little more for what they claimed to be. Also my OYAP means crap too them since I'm not that interested in baking.
Great school, if I was looking for cooking as a second career and wasn't coming straight out of high school then yes, I'd love too go to George Brown but as of right now it is not what I am looking for, but I still I love the idea about learning more about cooking in a big city like Toronto with all the different types of food and culture it has in it. So I am going to start looking more close at Humber collage on the north side of the city.
Their open house is Saturday November 9th so I might be on another trip to the big city in a few weeks. And there is still Fanshawe in London and Conestoga in Kitchener as well I'm considering. However I won't be going to open houses there because I already have a good grasp on there programs by word of mouth and talking to representatives from those collages.
I don't feel like ending this blog quite yet so I'm going to drag it on a bit longer if you don't mind. This past week my brother came home and that was really cool. We played video games almost non stop, between Grand Theft Auto and Minecraft we barley had to eat or sleep. I have linked his blog in the past and I will link it again here. Soon he will be turning some of the blog into another secret project that I may or may not be featuring in, so keep an eye out for that.
This week I attempted to make butter chicken. It turned out ok... but I don't think it is worth writting the recipe out for you because it wasn't as good as the other dishes I have posted. Only grade A meals will be found on this blog haha.
I hope you all enjoyed reading this weeks blog, you know the drill by now, share it, comment, share it again, maybe hit refresh a couple times what ever you feel like doing. Until next time, KidAndTheBlog out.
