Today i went out to lunch and was talking to the 2 ladies sitting beside me. We got to talking about food and how it is cooked in a Filippino restaurant.
One of the ladies said she is going to Culinary school. Told her i have thought about going for years. She told me about her school and it sounded so interesting.

When I got home looked up the Culinary schools near my home and signed up to go speak with them.

Thursday is my first appointment with one of the schools and i am excited. The other school is much harder to get into but want to try.

I love to cook, eat foods from other countries and experiment. I need to return to work but this time I want a different job that before. Ii use to be an Adult Probation Officer and that is not for me anymore.

Hope I am accepted and like it!!!!!

Chef Bebe,

Would you, could you PLEASE send me the best recipe for Tex-Mex sour cream chicken enchiladas you can find!! I've been looking for just the right person from Texas to help me appease my longing for this adored dish, left behind when I moved home to VA from Austin and DFW. Five years and I still have withdrawal. :? :cry:

I am so proud of you! My son went to Texas Culinary Academy in Austin several years ago and is doing well....However, there are some things to know before you sign on the dotted line with some of these schools. If you would like to talk, pm me and we'll chat. Good luck!
