Hello Everyone!
Still not much in the way of cooking to report, except that me and a small group of girlfriends from my dorm had a mini retreat this weekend! We went out to a nice Italian restaurant for dinner Friday night, watched a bunch of movies and ate a bunch of junk food, and then slept until 10:30, which we all probably needed because finals are this week. Yesterday morning we cooked up a lovely brunch, with pancakes, eggs, bacon and sausage, and.......mint chocolate chip ice cream (don't tell my mother). But the very best part of the meal - the part I would keep if everything else had to go - was the orange juice. Here at my little school we don't get much in the way of real juice unless we buy it ourselves, which basically means we don't get real juice. So our advisor bought a beautiful carton of this stuff:
which made us all very happy. I sipped that glass like it was a fine wine. Those few minutes of heaven in my mouth should be enough to see me through these last few weeks of kitchenlessness, until I get to make something really incredible.
And speaking of really incredible, the cupcakes for my friend's wedding have morphed into cake pops, which makes me so happy! I've never made cake pops, but I love them and am excited for this chance to give them a shot. Now I just need to find a recipe.....
(P.S. My daddy is coming to pick me up in 19 days! Emerald City here I come!)
