Magnificent!

So this semester I had some credits I needed to fill and was not interested in taking a really cognitively demanding course, so what do you take?? Cooking!! Its actually a lot of fun and I am learning a lot. I come home all the time with new tips for my roommates about certain things. I don't think they appreciate it as much as I think they should, but whatever. I am taking the class with several of my good nursing friends, so it is a blast and we do very little work, but make incredible things and then stuff ourselves every Monday afternoon. Its the best. This last week we had a large group project entitled the "magnificent meal". Basically we had to come up with a complete menu, organize and budget accordingly and then we had two hours to make the whole meal plus complete table settings. It worked out better than any of us imagined it would, and our random table decorations were labeled as "creative and unique" :) Here are some pictures from the madness. Check out the wreath especially. Its awesome.
Hey Sarah...cut those carrots!

Our table setting...very eclectic but I think it pulled together alright. Enough.

This was our "centerpiece". Just take a look at that glorious wreath. Wow.

My wonderful cooking friends!
