Our daughter, Jennifer Schaumburg, is on the trip of a lifetime! She was invited on a Rotary Exchange trip to France for four weeks! Jen was nominated by Indianola's Rotary Club and is with three other young people from Mississippi on this professional exchange! What an opportunity!
I was telling Laurie Phillips, one of my Consultant friends from New Albany, MS, about her trip today and Laurie suggested I share some of her travels in my blog (so here is a tidbit from her first email!) Of course Jen's profession is FOOD and the entire life of France revolves around food! Lucky Girl!
"The food is incredible, the wine delicious and we are having a very busy time! Today I went to a patisserie - you would have loved it! I watched them make croissants, macaroons......" Inside a French Bakery!! I've always wanted to do that!
I have a bad habit anyway of worming my way into special kitchens to watch the chefs at work! (Paul Prudhomme's people actually invited me in when we ate at K-Paul's the first time! And at Commander's Palace, you can walk through the kitchen any time (and linger like I do!)
I just hope Jen had a chance to shape a croissant ( I know she'll be enjoying dozens while she's there!) A French Bakery! Heaven!
