CHOCOLATE!

Yummy Yummy Chocolate!!!

So the Chocolate Festival at Sixth College was today.

The had fountains of dip-able chocolate, a cake walk game, a pie game, a hershey kiss game, cookies and milk pong, cupcake chairs, a sundae eating contest, a photo booth and inflatable obstacle courses. Everything had some yummy chocolate involved.

It inspired me to have a new dorm room rice recipe:

Chocolate Rice Pudding

Ingredients: Milk (Any P&M), Rice (Trader Joe's), Chocolate Syrup (Foodworx), Cane Sugar (Earl's), Butter (Foodworx), and Instant Chocolate Pudding (Goody's).

Cook your rice in a rice cooker =]

Mix the instant pudding and 2 or so cups of milk, it won't mix well until you add the rice.

Once rice is finished mix in a little butter, estimate 1 tablespoon.

Add rice to pudding mix

Sprinkle in sugar as desired (the pudding isn't very sweet on it's own)

Once well mixed add Chocolate Syrup for extra chocolate-y taste =]

Chill or just eat

Thanksgiving Break!

What an exciting time for everyone!

For many, it is their first time going home from the entire school year. It is so warm to imagine everyone with their families, spread out all over California and elsewhere, taking in the love and intimacy of family. I love it!

While all the excitement is going on there... the school is going to be sleeping a little more. Dining halls, staff, and faculty are all enjoying their break. If you are on campus for very quiet days, you may have to be a little innovative in how you get your goods. All of the Places and Markets are closed all day (only on T-Day), so don't worry, you're still going to be fed the rest of break! Check out the dining hours on this link: http://hdh.ucsd.edu/diningservices/hours.asp

Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are just a quick walk from campus. Also, look for others that may have stayed on campus for break. Meet up with them, have good conversation, and enjoy a unique experience of being here while the school sleeps. It is a really nice time.

Those who will be gone, remember there are shuttles from the SD Airport to

Peterson Hall. Here is the schedule:

How nice to have free transportation!

I wish you all a wonderful break, and want to encourage you to beautify your living space. Check out my mini-garden in my Warren apartment:

Notice how I reused a hummus container... using recyclables for gardening purposes is SO much better than recycling.

Peace and love,
