Aaron's chunk of the web

Friday night Sami talked me into going to the International Dinner on campus. For $10 for students, $16 for everyone else you get to try a wide variety of dishes from different countries. Even though the food was prepared by Chartwells, it was still pretty good. The menu was as follows:

Salad:

• Tunisian Couscous Salad - North Africa
• Baba Ganouj (roasted eggplant dip) - Middle East
• Kim Chi (fermented cabbage) - Korea

Entree:

• Pork with Dumplings & Cabbage - Czech Republic
• Pad Thai (meatless) - Thailand
• Hungarian Chicken Paprika - Hungary

Side Dish:

• Cauliflower Curry - Nepal
• Jamaican Rice with Peas - Jamaica
• Lecso (simmered peppers & tomatoes) - Hungary

Dessert:

• Conconut Toto - Jamaica
• Apple Strudel - Czech Republic

As you can see, its quite the variety. Every got a recipe book as well. Any bets what I'll make first?

Well its been quite a while since I posted anything here, so I figured it's time to post a little update. As usual, I've been pretty busy with work and such. This last weekend was more eventful than most.

Friday Mr. Nolan decided to grace whitewater with his presence. After minor begging, i was persuaded to go out for a bit and get jumped on by Mr Snieg. Does anyone really know why Snieg is a jumper? I think its somehow related to the genetics of the Monguin gene.

Saturday start out with a great nights sleep, followed up by 2 naps! (Can't go wrong there). That evening I ventured to Elkhorn where Paul, Michelle, Dohr and myself went out to dinner at Popeye's in Lake Geneva. It was my first time there, very tasty. After dinner we tormented Sadie with the woot screaming monkey!

Today I decided to invest in a Wireless Cell Phone Extender, I'm curious to see if it actually works. If it doesn't, at least there is a 30 day guarantee. I also decided to purchase an I-Pass, I've had enough of the Illinois tolls!

Well, thats about it for my excitement. Until next time, keep your stick on the ice!

PS. Does anyone know what that phrase is from?
