Pumpkin and Spice

As a pastry-chef-in-training, I love to eat, entertain and create. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, and I love sharing new things I find, try and bake. This blog chronicles the adventures I have with food- at home,at school, on vacation and in my career. I’m especially excited to share my adventures this coming fall, as I will be starting a six-month externship as a baker at a luxury ski resort in Utah.

I'm Sensing a Mint Chocolate Theme...

Posted by pumpkin in groceries

The severe altitude change has been rough on me- I've gone from Florida, which is basically sea level, to Park City, which is about 8100ft above sea level. I've been achy all over, my head hurts, my eyes are dry, my sinuses are like the Sahara, my nose has been bleeding... not to mention that I get winded walking up a single flight of stairs. Everyone says it takes a few weeks to get used to the altitude and thin air.

I didn't sleep too well last night, so I slept in this morning. Sissy and I relaxed, watched Family Feud, and ate breakfast. Breakfast this morning was the same as yesterday, basically. Cinnamon Life cereal with soy milk, fruit (a honeycrisp apple today), and a cup of coffee. Yesterday when I was out I bought some fresh coffee from Park City Coffee Roasters. The coffee we had been using was not very good, and the coffee from the Park City Coffee Roasters was a marked improvement. I got the Park City Blend, a nice, dark coffee. Tomorrow I'll try the Dutch Chocolate.
