Late Summer and Fall Happenings

This fall has been a whirlwind with turning 21, starting my last year of college, taking the GRE, running my first half marathon, and applying to graduate schools.

I've been cooking less, but I've still found time to experiment and play in the kitchen. It's cold here now in Wisconsin, but there hasn't been much snow, so everything is pretty dreary. When finals are over, I'll bake some cookies to get into the holiday spirit.
