Well, tomorrow is the cook-off. I'm pretty excited about it. I should hopefully have some pictures to share after the event. Don't expect to see them Saturday evening though, as I'll be sleeping off all of the booze. We're going to be serving burgers, bratwurst, chili donuts, beans, ribbon fries, and rum cake. The chili donuts actually turned ( Read more... )

So my chili donuts were a complete failure. The fried biscuits were pretty tasty, but I couldn't manage to get the chili into the biscuit. One of the other members was considerably more successful, and essentially made chili filled hush puppies. He made some hush puppy batter, put a spoonful of chili in the middle, and rolled them up into balls ( Read more... )

So I foolishly volunteered to head up the programming department's cook-off team this year. I suppose nothing terrible has happened yet, though. But it may mean that I have to consume less tequila than normal that Saturday morning. At any rate, we are doing a Bill and Ted's theme (I can't believe nobody on the team had objections to this) and we ( Read more... )

My parents got me a new TV for my graduation gift, and I finally collected on it yesterday. Part of me was going to wait until I moved so I wouldn't have to move it, but I finally decided that it wasn't that big of a deal. Also, there was some other stuff I promised myself I would do first, regardless of whether I did it or not. Actually, I ( Read more... )

I don't want to just post about crappy events, but my life is pretty boring. You guys aren't missing anything ( Read more... )

I promised to update back in December and never did, so here is a quick recap of the last two months.

Went to Indiana for Christmas, where it was unseasonably warm.  I had a great time and got to see several of my relatives.  We got our little cousins (I want to say the twins are maybe 4 and their sister is 7?) some Nerf guns.  Sadly they were ( Read more... )

While I had hoped to post a little bit more, I figure I will inform my friends in Oklahoma that I will be leaving for Oklahoma tomorrow and coming back to College Station sometime before the 8th of January.  I will be in Indiana for about a week from around Christmas.  Not entirely sure which days though ( Read more... )

Attention Oklahoma friends, I will be gracing Oklahoma with my presence for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Well, yesterday was the UCS cookoff. This year we went with a German theme (last year was ribs). We served beer bread with honey butter, sauerkraut, german potato salad, schnitzel, bratwurst (with homemade mustard produced by me), and pfeffernusen (upon consulting google this is clearly not the correct spelling - however, I am unable to find a ( Read more... )

I guess it's time for an update. Last weekend my brother flew into Houston and we went to Arrowfest 2006 (as opposed to, say, 2007) at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. The concert was awesome. In order of appearance they had Rick Derringer, Head East, April Wine, John Waite, Eddie Money, Kansas, and Heart. John Waite was definitely the ( Read more... )
