So it’s Friday night. I’m tired. I also recently decided to take my second ever snowboarding lesson the following day (aka second ever day of falling on my ass on a mountain multiple times in a row). I also have a potluck dinner on Saturday evening.
So I’m spending Friday night in the kitchen (I did also manage to complete my system dynamics homework somehow) and I’m making Caramel Cake with Caramelized Butter Frosting. Next thing I know; it’s 10 pm, my apartment smells delicious and I have eaten caramel sauce for dinner (read = not a good idea, maybe my mom was right about that balanced meal thing).
Aside from a minor stomachache, this cake was a great learning experience for me.

Sloan has this fantastic thing called SIP week each semester. During this week there are no regularly scheduled classes and instead we take 2.0 credits (about 12 hours) of seminars. I’m not going to lie, the seminars are usually hit or miss. This semester I was about 50% on the hit rate, so not that bad.
The best part: there are no classes. This of course meant that I flew off to Portugal with 13 of my nearest and dearest directly after my Tuesday seminar finished. Yep, it was awesome. I’ll put up some pictures on my other site eventually (there was scratch on my filter, so I have to go in and edit the stupid dot on all my pictures), but in the meantime, let’s discuss the food. Or rather, let’s just look at it.
