Double rainbow!

As I washed heaps of dishes, I looked out the kitchen window to see a DOUBLE RAINBOW! Here is a picture, although you can't really see the second rainbow.

On Friday morning I made my way back to Baldwin Street with Grace, Fredric, and Sophie to watch the Jaffa race. Jaffa's are round chocolates that are covered in a reddish orange-flavored shell. Think of it as a spherical orange flavored M&M. For the race, 50,000 Jaffa's were rolled down the steepest street in the world. They came as two races, first the red Jaffa's and then the purple Jaffa's. Throughout the entire time I kept on thinking about the confetti at New Years in Times Square, mostly because after the red race, people with neon orange "Jaffa Race" vests came to sweep the candies away before the purple Jaffa's came rolling down. The Jaffa Race also concluded Cadbury's Chocolate Carnival, and although I did not participate in many of their activities (and also because snow thwarted a bunch of the activities) I was given a lot of free chocolate this week. Free chocolate is always appreciated.

If you look closely, you'll see a stripe of red. Those are the Jaffa's racing down the street.

To continue on the track of chocolate and other edible noms, my whole wheat apple pumpkin cake has been devoured by a bunch of people. My almond cheesecake, which I made in Food Science lab, came in handy Thursday night when we had girls night.

Almond Cheesecake!

Food made during the first lab.

Girl's night was great. We started at my flat where we all ate carrots and celery with hummus, chips (like the American type, not French fries), cake, and some other things. We then went to Metro to dance. All in all, it was a great night and we had heaps of fun. It reminded me of the Mawr.

A cool car I spotted on my walk to the farmers market

As usual, Saturday morning rolled around and I moseyed to the farmers market. I picked up my usual veggies and came upon sheep shaped pasta. As you may predict, I bought them. After grocery shopping, eating a sugar crepe, and running some errands, I returned home to finally cook something with my fresh new food. I made some chicken and carrot soup and some potato salad.

Sheep pasta!

Some people came over later Saturday night to hang out but it was generally a quiet and relaxing night. We made a new friend tonight, a cat that Kat found outside. I'm unsure if we've named her at this point but we did give her some tuna. I'm sure i'll be writing more about this cat now since it is bound to come back for more tuna. But that is alright because she is awfully cute.

It is now Sunday morning, and I have just woken up to another cloudless sky. Today would have been a great day for a hike, though I have come down with the common cold and my bed seems to be the most suitable place at the moment. Leftover chicken soup will be consumed, and homework will get done.
