Skittles and a day of SLU

Yesterday SLU Decadence had a concert at Xavier Audotorium. It was amazing.

The a cappella choir, Skittles, at my school got to preform at it. It was so AWESOME! We sang "Stereo Hearts" and "Wavin' Flag" and it sounded really good. I wish I could describe it so that it sounds as good here as it did there.

Before that I spent the afternoon cooking with a few students and Miss R at the S. Center at SLU for a dinner party someone won at the school's Gala. It was fun. We made sevichi (or whaterer?), a raw-but-not-raw fish dish that is cooked only by citrus that it is marinated in (eww? I didn't get to taste it.), sweet potato tomales, rice and pork, and for dessert sweet potato rasin rum cake with cinnamon whipped cream and candied pumpkin seeds.

Actually, the pumpkin seeds were supposed to be pumpkin-seed brittle. It turned out to be more of fail-brittle then actual brittle-y brittle. We just crunched it up into pieces and it still tasted good. Shh, don't tell them!

It was a fun day of SLU. You should check out their YouTube and everything; they are so talented!

It's been a while...

I know, I know. I'm so bad. It's not that I've forgotten, I just haven't been on the computer. It's really hard to blog from an iTouch...

A lot of stuff is happening.

I'm excited for Christmas.  I sang in front of people with my a cappella group. I'm going cabining next weekend. I made around 150 caramels yesterday and cooked a dinner for 9. More later.
