I had a really busy past week, but busy is good for me, much better than the opposite which is sitting in the house all day losing my minds. I subbed monday, tuesday, and wednesday so it was nice to have today off to do some relaxing and baking. Speaking of baking I have discovered an INCREDIBLE chocolate chip banana muffin recipe that I would love to share with all of you so I am going to try to attach it
I have made them twice and both times they were amazing!
I also went to a delightful dinner party at my friend Mark's apartment last night with seven other friends which was a lot of fun. Rachel and I arrived a little bit early and he seemed quite flustered so I decided to relieve him of his stress by making the mashed potatoes (maybe i was just being selfish b/c i only trust myself making the most amazing mashed potatoes of all time) but this task was not easing considering Mark lives in the ultimate bachelor pad lacking a potato masher, a mixer, a large bowl, napkins, or paper towels. So after about a half hour of mashing potatoes with a fork on a very small plate and an extreme hand cramp we had some pretty decent mashed potatoes. Mark also made some sausage like things with onions and beans and all together we had some English delicacy he referred to as "bangers and mash", pretty good! The whole evening was a delight, filled good friends, riveting conversation, delicious food, and a little after dinner dance partying.
I will be spending the weekend in Paris which is unbelievably exciting because I have never been. I will actually be staying with a camper of mine and her family who have been living in Paris for the past 6 months so that should be really fun and funny. I have heard that Paris is actually very beautiful this time of year with all the Christmas lights so I couldn't be more excited. I leave tomorrow morning and come back Sunday afternoon. Hopefully there will be lots of lovely pictures in my next post.
Au voir!
