interesting observations and a somewhat good day

Today being my second day off for the week, I woke up early and took teh train a half hour north of Strasbourg to a city called Hageunau. Its a small town with nothing really to it. However it was a stop off on the way to another city I wanted to go to, call Souflenheim. Soufflenheim is one of two cities in france that specialize in clay pottery and have been doing it for hundreds of years. The pottery is made from the limestone clay that is natural in Alsace.

Its all handcrafted and beautifully made. Both the cities ahve their own colours one being blue the other maroon...however the artisans now make it with lots of clours. So I bought two terrines, for me and jessica...(Ithink im going to have to get another suitcase). I then came home and spent the day doing almost nothing.

So here is the observation: Yesterday I worked with the chef, the rest of the week being workign with the sous chef. Well the cheef gives me the recipe for stuff and I got so much work done. I realized why the sous chef doesnt do that...Because he likes the sound of his own voice!! He likes to talk and likes to be heard so I think thats why, he wants me to constantly ask for things so he can then talk and talk.

i think its funny. Anyways sitting having dinner and just relaxing...tomorrow is appearently going to be busy. Thats that.
