Relaxing but Fun Weekend




There is not much to say about the weekend. It was a pretty typical late semester weekend with Saturday activities and Sunday productivity.

Saturday morning we had kids from the Christine Revell Home over for a Halloween Party that included a Mac'n'cheese lunch, mask making, pin the tail on the black cat playing, as well as a candy hunt. Oh, lets not forget the witch, witch, monster duck duck goose game that we played. The kids were absolutely adorable and so nice to have over!

Saturday night, my advisor here took me out for an amazing 6-course dinner that expanded the palate a bit. My first and most likely last experience with beef tartar. I also had some delicious spicy apple with salmon soup. And some warmed roasted cheese with fig and caramelized walnuts for dessert. OF course there was much more in between, but with good food and great company--7 SIFE students joined us--it was a nice night out!

Sunday was a project day for which I accomplished two and started a third. Not to mention baked peanut butter cookies as a thank you to all those I have worked with this semester. The day ended with a variation on family dinner and the concoction of a new lentil salad recipe! All in all a great weekend!
