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

On another note, if laundry day is coming up and you need change/triton cash, go to one of the place and markets and get a Triton Cash Card for laundry! Much better than begging for quarters or charging the card.

Also, in my next post I would like to share some employee success stories with housing and dining so if you have ever had fine service or want to prop someone for a good job email me at amcooper@ucsd.edu

Muirstock

Muirstock is one of the largest events held on campus and is hosted by Muir and their Reslife. This year's Muirstock was excellent. As a closing for Earth Week it happened on Friday (today).

The beginning (2-5 p.m.) was lots of student orgs, the reslife, and hdh tabling goodies and fun things.

The Muir Commuter lounge gave away free hot chocolate, and talked about their upcoming event making mugs. HDH gave away Toby bags and helped sponsor the free Muirstock bags this year; we also gave out awesome Toby tattoos.

There were 2 booths for face painting, a recycle give away, rock band contest, hat making booth, and free hamburgers, chips and soda. All the while people were smiling laughing and learning ab

out the environment in small subtle ways.

Around 5:30 the first band went on stage. From their it was music and delight.

Earth Week adventures!

Hey Tritons,

Earth Week has been a good time!
I ventured over to the Marshall Lowers last weekend (Sun. April 18th) to check out the cool trial run of the laundry racks being funded by HDH's very own Green Grants! woohoo

The lovely interns from Green Campus, Susan Kram and Jennifer Hull, had the event at Marshall RA, Jennifer Truong's apartment.


The event was a success, as residents from six Marshall apartments came by to collect their laundry racks. Two racks were designated per apartment, and by the end of the quarter, the Green Campus reps will send the recipients a survey asking for feedback regarding their experience using the racks.This is just another great way that HDH is helping to fund the many ways UCSD students want to green the campus, and impact the lives of their peers.



In other news, in case you guys missed it, there was a massive trash sort in Town Square this last Monday (April 19th) stemming from UCSD's Recyclemania results.

Videos: UCSD kicked off its annual Earth Week festivities with students digging through more than 1,000 pounds of trash to demonstrate how much could have been recycled.

The photo below is the aftermath of the sort.
Krista Mays, Truman Mak, and Kimberly Tran took a breather after an intense day that lasted from before 8am until after 12pm.
We collected bag after bag of recyclable material from the trash sort as seen here in the blue bags by Truman's feet.
I was proud to represent The Village, being that they placed first out of all six colleges, with a Recyclemania waste diversion rate of 31%.


The Earth Day pre-party went down today in Price Center East! The EcoNauts were out celebrating the Earth, while rockin our tye-dye Ts and "EcoNaut Approved" tats.

We had bubbles, face paint, temporary tattoos, and Recyclemania results!! woohoo
If you guys happened to be at any of these events, tell me what you thought of them!

See you at Muirstock!....Fri, April 23rd, Muir Quad, 2-5pm!

Happy Earth Week!
