Congrats to my sister Lynn who graduated from the Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts Minneapolis/St. Paul yesterday. She earned an Associate of Applied Science degree in their Pâtisserie & Baking Program with high honors and is currently interning with Disney at the Contemporary Resort in Orlando.

The graduation program was held at Grace Church in Eden Prairie, a mega-church that totally freaked me out. The guy next to me said as we walked in, “this is just like the Metrodome.”

The graduation program said they had about 500 graduates this spring and the guest speaker was the executive chef from Murray’s in Minneapolis, John Van House. I told kid one (the new steak lover) that I’d take her there sometime for the silver butter knife steak (my all-time favorite), but their menu says it’s now $94! Might be a while kiddo…
