Sleepy Chuck Cooks with Friends.

January 13th, 2011 lanepo14

I know that was a random title but that’s the general break down of how my break has been so far. Basically this break has been filled with a whole lot of Chuck Season 1 (I’ve just started watching it), sleeping, relaxing, hanging out with friends (nothing special in particular), and cooking.  LOTS AND LOTS Of cooking.

1. Chuck- I must say, I really like the show “Chuck”. I’m quite the scared-y cat and my boyfriend is normally there to comfort me during the shooting scenes and all that. The show is about an average guy who got kicked out of Stanford and is now working at a Buy More (Electronics store much similar to the big chain: Best Buy). He gets and email from his ex-roommate(the guy who got hims kicked out) from Stanford and the email contains many encrypted images that contain all the government secrets. Basically what happens is that he will be living his average life, see someone who was in the government secrets, and know all about their affiliations, pictures of crime scenes, etc. It’s a pretty neat show but at the same time I’m scared of the shooting and feel guilty for the average guy being dragged into secret agent life.

2. Sleeping, relaxing- I might confess that I have not woken up before noon for about a good week. I am proud and sort of embarrass to admit that, but hey! IT. IS. BREAK.

3. Hanging out with friends- my friends normally just chill around or hit the gym. Sometimes we all (a group of 10 of us) cram in one bed and watch a movie. It’s quite fun and it’s sad thinking about the twin size bed with more than enough space. Not to worry though, my friends and I have plenty of time to squish together and watch a movie.

4. Cooking- Well John and I have invested a lot of time with cooking really healthy meals and of course baking. Earlier this break we made a red velvet cake for the ugly sweater party. Today we tried making something else, which was a triple chocolate fudge cake with fondant. Fondant is a sort of edible “play dough” like substance that can be rolled out and cover the cake. This is the same thing used on cooking shows like “cake boss” where they create real fancy looking cakes. John and I tried and it worked out pretty well.
