I can't believe it - the temperature was only like 81 degrees today! What a nice change after the 90s last week. Oh wait, I was in KS where it was only like 62 or so. I had a great visit at home - too short, especially since I had the worst flu ever all week!
I flew out to KC on Wednesday, did some shopping at Galyan's, and took lots of cold medicine. I headed out to KSU on Thursday - campus was gorgeous, and luckily everyone was happy to see me in my department! The department head, Dr. Canter, has asked if I will help teach a summer institute for high school students interested in culinary arts. How cool is that?? Then I went and got free lunch out of the deal (Thank you Mr. Pence), and Call Hall ice cream to boot! That was truly awesome. Nothing like a GIGANTIC brownie sundae to top off your afternoon! Dad, Mom and Grandma came with me - I think the ice cream was the best part of their day, too.
I managed to get some BBQ and Boulevard Beers on Friday night, and I hooked up with the old college gang (Josh, Molly, Heather, Jason, Donner, and even Chris and Betsy!) at a pub in KC. Not bad, not bad at all. It was hard to come home on Saturday - but I had to get ready for the week. I plan to tackle some serious housecleaning, grocery shopping, and finally SHAKING THIS STUPID COLD!
On a lighter note, Travis and I are getting totally psyched about our trip to Europe. We're trying to get hold of our friends in the Czech republic so we can visit them (they know the BEST places to buy beer and Svickova), and we are trying to decide which cities and countries to visit. Hmmm, do we spend New Year's in Vienna or Zurich?? The decisions we have to make! These are the kind of problems you WANT to have...
Well, I'm off to cook dinner... for all my friends that read this- it was GREAT seeing you all last week! Keep warm!
