Cooking workshop- germany exchange day 4; wednesday, 10th May 2017

Hey guys!

We got up at the same time like yesterday. After we got ready we had breakfast and following that we went to the bus station. We arrived at 7:30 again so we had to wait. Today the exchange students attended a lesson for two hours. Then Mrs Schütt told me to say the others that the exchange students only can be in the "Nawi" lesson. The exchange students of the ones who have got Spanish were split off in those two "Nawi" groups. I felt a tiny bit angry like the other german students which have spanish lesson because we would like to have our exchange students in that class too. But they said we're too many students... Well, at least they have been in my class in the second lesson. So they had WiPo (economy and politics) but they didn't unterstand much.
After that the exchange students visited the Niederegger (marzipan producer) in the pedestrian zone of Lübeck. I'd really liked to go with them because I like marzipan a lot ;) During they've been at Niederegger's, I had English. English is my favorite subject so it was more or less okay for me. Usually we would have German after that but today we hadn't because the teacher was ill. So the lesson was cancelled and I went with Finja, Patricia and one of our classmates in the city for a little "shopping tour". On our way back to school we saw the exchange students and went with them back to school.
When we arrived there everything was a bit confusing because the finnish teachers thought that we would eat in the mensa. We german students weren't sure because in the plan it didn't say so. But that was an "old" plan because first we should cook in Dassow but there the was only a small kitchen and the german teachers decided to take another kitchen which is closer and bigger. We already knew about that but our teachers didn't tell us if we would eat there. When they arrived we asked them and then they told us that we would eat there and that we would have free time after that too. Complicated stuff... :p
So first we ate. And I have to say: It's really good that we could eat there because today she offered...

...pancakes! One of my favorite dishes.
After eating Finja, her exchange student Jana and I decided to go into the city again and go on shopping because there wasn't enough time left in that cancelled lesson. Soon we had to go back again but I think we were almost in every shop we wanted to go. We met in the foyer again at 14 o'clock (that's when we wanted to go to the bus station) but we couldn't because a german teacher was missing. Well, a few minutes later we started. We had to walk through the whole pedestrian zone and then after 8 minutes we were there. We only had to wait 5 minutes until line 6 the bus which brings us to the workshop, arrived. We all got in but it was very, very full so most of us had to stand.


We took the bus to its last bus stop which is pretty close to my horse I usually go exact this time. That was a bit mean... But we walked on straightaway a way besides a street without a sidewalk.

It looked like that. Behind those trees is a little lake so the area is very natural.

You can recognize it by the yellow signs with a owl and the word "Naturschutzgebiet" what means nature reserve. We also saw some sheep:

But soon we arrived at Euroimmun where the cooking workshop took place. So first we went in and got knewn the cooks who seemed very nice. After that we went in kind of a hall with many tables and chairs.
On the wall was a huge Lübeck painting.

So here it looks tiny compared to its real size (all over the wall) and it's only a little part of the whole.
First we had time to talk and to get something to drink. We laughed a lot but then the cooks wanted to tell us what we can make. We should be divided in four groups with at least one german, one finnish and one polish student. But although the kitchen was bigger than the other we should cook we could not be all in the kitchen (only one or two groups maximum). So we were shown where we could be when we aren't cooking. There was a billiard table, a music room and something else.





I went to the billiard table first like Finja & Jana, Lisann, Josi and Lea. We put out the equipment which were in a cupboard next to the table and devided us into two teams. Then there was:
Finja, Jana and me - Lisann, Josi and Lea

It's like every sport you've seen on the TV and try more or less the first time. On TV it seems very easy but if you act it...
So it got really funny.













After we've played a long time we split up and Finja and I went downstairs where the music room and a game table was. I went to the music room and listened the others playing the piano. They can play much better than me! Suddenly our teacher came and told us that the meals are already cooked. She said that she forgot us and asked if we'd like to go to the kitchen now and help with the last tasks so we went to the kitchen. The only things we could do were stiring the soups, sort the asparagus and put the vegetarian meatballs in the oiled pan so not a kind of special things. It's very annoying because they said that they will send us to the kitchen when we can cook and they didn't do that. So we were not able to take really part in the cooking workshop but we really would have liked to. Well, after helping a little in the kitchen we could sit again in the hall and talked a little while we were waiting for the meals. Then everything was finished and we started:






So our first dish was vegetarian spaghetti
bolognese. At first the portion looked very
tiny but it was much more than it seemed.
Yummi!



















The next dish was a piece of pork and
a vegetable meatball with asparagus
and a bit sauce. It was my first time I
ate asparagus and I don't really like it.
What I didn't like too was the meatball
but the others at my table liked it a lot
so I changed the veggie meatball for the
piece pork. To me the pork was very
delicious so it was a good deal.
What we all didn't like neither was the
sauce. It was a kind of curry sauce but
to me it wasn't that delicious.














The last dish was semolina with
strawberries. I couldn't eat much
because I had to ask if my mum
can pick us from the workshop
because that would be easier and
quicker. The teachers said it's okay
and asked me to take photos of
them in the kitchen. It all took very
long and I could only taste a little
bit and it was okay so not a dish I
love but also not a dish I hate.











We soon left the workshop because they wanted to get the next bus which came in 10 minutes so we had to hurry. When we almost were there I saw my mum and Mimosa and I said the others goodbye and then we drove home. I was glad that we didn't have to take the bus because I was pretty tired. We wrote our blogs a little and went to bed.

Yours,
Justine
