It is almost at the end of the fall trimester here at Johnson and Wales, and I can’t believe how fast the past three months have been going! Taking online classes is so different and a bit difficult for me. I just try to keep a positive attitude that the more difficult the class is, the more I will retain in the end. Well, let’s at least hope that’... Read More

I can’t believe that it’s almost Halloween.  Just today the neighbors set up about 8 carved pumpkins on the front door step.  The Halloween costume stores are littered about town and Target’s Halloween area is slowly become sparse.  I love Halloween, passing out candy to the kids and dressing u...

If you have not heard about this year’s flu season and the rising number of people who have contracted the swine flu (or H1N1), then you might be living under a rock. We all know the importance of sneezing into your elbow, staying home when you are sick, and making sure to religiously wash your hands, regardless of your health. But I think its all too easy to ...

The outside smells of fall: the leaves changing color, the cool air, and pumpkins on peoples doorsteps ready for carving. Fall is my favorite season, and every day of fall I love to go outside and feel the damp, cool air on my face and watch the leaves slowly change color.

Tuesday was not only the first day of school for Johnson and Wales, but for schools all over the country.  Like any college there were plenty of back-to-school events; like coffee nights, new club meetings, and long lines in the bookstore.  Although, sadly, I did not get to partake in any events.

Practically every product that I have made at school has turned out great after my first trial and error batch.  Whether it’s bagels or brownies, everything turned out great after seeing my Chef create it.  Having all the ingredients at my fingertips, being able to snag any possible tool I needed, and knowing exactly how the climate effected my product made t...

Meet Stan
I walked from the kitchen, out to the open living room where my mom was reading the newspaper and my sister was working on her latest arts and crafts project.

“I would like to introduce my new friend, Stanley.  Stanley doesn’t require much, and won’t need to be cleaned up after, but please don’t mess w... Read More

I love being outdoors, no matter what season it is, I love to smell fresh air and be in such natural and beautiful surrounds.  Our house has a nice big deck, complete with slider-swing, a lounging chair, and a beautiful wrought iron patio set.  Of course, no backyard deck is complete without the large silver gas grill.

I have always been a grill-er, and my fa... Read More

There is little over a week left to summer vacation for not only me but thousands of students around the country.  “Back to school sale” signs are posted around many different stores around town and the TV is filled with ads about school clothing and buying crayons or glue.

For me, I feel a little like I am left out.  I don’t need to buy a ... Read More
