During the snowstorm we went traveling with a substitute travel teacher. Her name is Tai, (it rhymes with sky), because my regular travel teacher was out for a personal day. As a fellow student and I were walking during travel class we noticed Tai had fallen back some distance from us. Tai is completely blind but is an excellent traveler, so it was unusual for her to drop back. Melissa and I turned around and shouted back to her. We couldn't hear her reply so we walked toward her. "My eye fell out!" she shouted. One of Tai's prosthetic eyes had fallen out. She was terribly concerned as the eyes cost a few thousand bucks. We lifted up our shades to look for the blue eye but had no success in locating the eye. Suddenly Tai yelled, "Here it is!". The eye had landed in the sleeve of her coat. We all had a big laugh after she finally put the eye back in.
Another funny thing happened to me in cooking class. I was making a three course lunch and was preparing to frost my lemon cake with lemon frosting. I had two different courses on the counter, and each were in identical pans. Along with the cake I also had a green bean casserole. Sitting side by side I started frosting what I thought was the lemon cake. As I was putting the frosting on, it seemed like the cake was crumbling off every time I tried to frost it. Well, if you've ever tried to frost a green bean casserole the fried onions on top will adhere quite nicely to the frosting. Ugh!
All through the meal I was asked what the lemon taste was in the green bean casserole. I finally told them my mishap with the frosting. It didn't seem to bother my guests as there was little of the casserole left after the lunch.
More later.
