So, I got a little part time job... if thats what you wanna call it... for this culinary school thats here in Aix for 2 weeks doing tours and cooking. Mostly older, wealthy women living the dream, but anyway! My job that would usually be so simple actually was quite difficult at times due to.. how should i put it?? Oh yes! I dont speak French!!!! GRR!! I was to go to the supermarket everyday and purchase the items that would be cooked for dinner that night...
One, I don't know how to cook anything except pasta (which I mess up from time to time) and cookies that come in a tube(which i usually mess up as well)! Two, did you know that zucchani comes round as well as long?? Crazy, huh?! Three, there is still that language barrier where I cant read French either! So you can only immagine how I was in the supermarket searching for irrigular items! My work hours were around 4 hours a day minus 20 minutes of drving... yea the rest was in the supermarket!
One day I shorted the mushrooms by 2 kilos (2.2 pounds) and the next I had to find a poissonieer (fish market) and buy 80 euros worth of "la grande crevette crue" , also known as big raw shrimp!
