SNOW!!!



Short entry this time...WE GOT SNOW!!! WOOOOO HOOOO!


Ok...so I get excited about snow. But I wouldn't be a good meteorologist if I didn't :-)
The snow was definitely a refreshing sight -- and signs that my favorite season (winter duh!) is on it's way! It also was a nice break from the busy class and work schedule, though I have had some fun times on the side. Last weekend I was home for my dad's 50th! birthday, which was a blast with Uncle Andy, Grandpa David, and Grandma Maryellen all in town to celebrate the big (belated) day!

I'll have more updates after the weekend with my Halloween costume!

Iron Chef!


One of the nice parts about being out of the dorms this year is that we get to cook our own food -- i.e. no more commons food! Given that, some friendly competition certainly arises among our friends, and the only way to solve that is IRON CHEF!!! This past weekend it was Town Square (Chris, Justin, and I) vs. Land above Rapid Transit Sports (Maria and Leah). Appetizers, a main course, and dessert had to be made, and given the game against Wisconsin later that night, the main ingredient was Cheese :-) Jared 'hosted', meaning he had the rights to taking the big bite out of the red pepper:

Lot's of tasty food was enjoyed, and everybody was stuffed afterward.

The winners were Town Square (yay!), with tasty cheese appetizers with tomatoes and peppers, smoked Gouda mac 'n cheese, and cream cheese blueberry deliciousness as the winning dishes. Everything tasted awesome though :-)

After trying to finish everything we could, everybody headed over to our apartment to watch the demolition of Wisconsin by our #3 Nittany Lions. There was a big pack of people over, and a blast was had by all.


Looking forward the Michigan this weekend -- there is 9 years of pain on the line for us, so it better be a blowout!!!
