Gothenburg christmas shopping and pattern design

Woke up this morning and it was snowing (not heaps, but still it was snowing)! I always say I hate snow, but I have to admit that I do like it, well at least to look at it... It's just the cold that I hate, and it is freezing already! So, that's that, I like snow and hate cold!

 

 

I skipped my Saturday study session and went on a spontanious christmas shopping trip to Gothenburg with my friend Ellinor. Didn't end up buying any christmas presents... only a new tulle for my own piping bag! Haha. But we did have a nice lunch enjoying a sourdough mozarella/chicken sandwich and a cinnamon/cardamom latte at Espresso House! 

I got to inaugurate my new jacket today - so warm and cosy! I'll post a photo of it tomorrow or later this week.

Other than that I've only been doing some pattern design - yes, I'm lying on the floor... and yes, my back IS hurting A LOT after this!

Bartenderutbildning

About 3 months ago I decided to do a bartender course. I have been on one side of the bar, but I'd like to try both sides really. After much thought and research I decided to apply to a 4 week education located here in Sweden. For me it was obvious that a bartender course in Sweden would be more serious than one in for example Magaluf, Spain or Rhodes, Greece. (Apparently that's what employers think as well).

The school I choose is called "Sveriges Restaurang & Barutbildning".

 

So far I really like the school. My teachers knows' what they're talking about and they have plenty of experiense.

In 4 weeks, I get to learn a lot about the liquors, base, flavour.

How do I know when to shake, stir or build a drink, what glass to use, what garnish to use regarding to the soft drink. How to freepour and bounce. How do you produce beer, wine, liquor. I can't mention it all because there are so many things you need to know before you can feel completely safe and certain about what you're doing behind the bar.

 

This is only my first week (of four), but I feel like I'm glued to this book. If you don't like to or know you won't study hard, I don't recomend this school. The teachers will require you to study and they will make you raise your goal. We'll see if I reach mine! I'll tell you in 4 weeks! Until then I will keep you updated about what we're doing and how's it going.

 

Here's a shooter (in a liqueur glass) for you to try. I don't know if actually exist so I call it Mini Orgasm, because it's similar to Orgasm.

 

 

 

 

 

Mini Orgasm

 

1 part Amaretto (almond liqueur)

Shake well with ice, strain the ice and pour in to shooter glass.
