One of the great things about being back in school is getting into a cramped study room with good friends and having an unexpectedly good time …Today was one of those days. Lots of papers … lots of white-board action … lots of confusion (still not sure that I get this marketable-securities accounting speak) … And … thanks to the ‘goodwill’ (forgive the bad pun; I’m in the middle of finals week) of a fabulous study mate, the perfect brain food – Sprinkles cupcakes! (One decorated in honor of St. Patrick’s Day.)
On the few occasions I do write, I usually like talking about some food experience, experiment, reading, health fact, or encounter that is new, unique, or inspiring in some way. There is none of that in this case … but somehow right at this moment as I upload the photos, I feel like today’s cupcake study break was – in the most simple and ordinary way – extra special. Nothing beats hanging out in a stuffy room with good friends to indulge in plainly decorated but oh-so-delicious cupcakes with disposable forks on makeshift plates made out of Kleenex tissues.
Ah, sometimes, I’m such the health nut ... and the presentation/design nazi … but today, the plain old chocolate cupcake with pure buttercream icing (literally chocolate-flavored butter) topped with chocolate sprinkles was the absolute perfect brain food and St. Patrick’s Day celebration.
