Girls were divided up betweeen the 4 massive rooms (enrollment was small perhaps 30 girls total). In my room, there were 6 girls (the girl to my right would put on deodorant before going to bed..strange). I wore a one piece flannel pajama WITH FEET during the winter. It was that bloody cold. JohnC: I keep watching the clip cause it does bring back memories. When they show the sign "Eggleston Hall" to the left of it is another kitchen, of which are many. It was used by the servants in the day. It was where I prepared the choux pastry. The big hall with the chandalar with the dinner party. I remember. Where they are having dance lessons actually looks like the dining room. I chuckled over the clip about preparing the game bird. I have a story about that one. Victor: The winter was brutal.

Are they filming the entire show at the school and if so, do you recognize the rooms and grounds? The show must bring back a lot of memories. I wish they would just show the English shows on American TV instead of remaking them. I think the English versions are always better. Your old school sounds like a very idyllic setting and I can picture you running forever over the rolling hills. Sorry, but I can’t agree with the last sentence on going from lady to ladette, you are still a lady and always will be. This is so interesting.

Agreed. People used to comment to me that it takes a lot of work to make your own bread, but I find the 'work' involved to be a real stress reliever. I doubt I would find as much joy in it if I were doing it as a daily job. Eggleston Hall looks rather primitive, even now.I wonder what is would be like to live there through a cold English Winter. Drink lot's of hot tea ? “There is something to be said when you make/do something because you want to.”

Beatening the pastry is easier for a full grown man, as in yourself, than it is for 17 year old girls. Now I remember, the pastry was made during an evening class. With time restraits, we stored it in the refridgerator for final preparations of the delicacies for the next class the following day. In order to use the dough, we had to beat it again which was taxing since it was cold. Another note: There is something to be said when you make/do something because you want to. Thus, even if it is challenging you do it joyfully thus did not mind or may not notice the difficulties. However, when you are forced to do something when you already exhausted from a grooling schedule we always kept, it is a grind and you are going to bitch...at least a ladette would :D Thank you for your recipes, Wheatgerm.

I always find it worthwhile to learn more about your “earlier days.” The latter part of your entry reminded me that about a dozen years ago I made choux pastry/pâte à choux dough in order to prepare profiteroles/mini cream puffs filled with a delicious bittersweet chocolate mousse. However, the recipe I used must have been much easier than the recipe which Eggleston Hall’s teachers told you and your fellow students to use (either that, or I had “beginner’s luck”). I say that because, even though I only used a wooden spoon and “arm power” to mix and beat the dough, it only took me about 30 minutes of relatively easy beating for the dough to reach the appropriately smooth, satiny stage, and about another 30 minutes to bake the profiteroles. In case you or any of your blog’s other readers might like to try (in the future) a recipe similar to the one I used, it’s contained in citation #1. Also, more excellent information re choux pastry is contained in citation #2.
