This morning, creativity was afoot in the De Neve dining hall. Brunch was the goal, but there were rules. 1: Food must be created by YOU. Simply taking a plate of food already prepared for you was not an option - you had to take the food, and change it and make it your own beautiful food creation! 2: HAVE FUN! 3: Share what you made with your friends. For my culinary experiment, I made cinnamon cream cheese frosting (per the advice of Lauren): a little bit of cream cheese, a little bit of powdered sugar, and several dashes of cinnamon and vanilla spice. Mix it all together, et voila! I spread that on a waffle, and then added some fruit to take it to what Matthew deemed a "Giada gourmet" level. :) I cut up an apple into bite size chunks, added a drizzle of honey, and microwaved the whole thing for about two minutes. The apples were warm and delicious. I topped the waffle with those, and then sprinkled fresh peach slices, blueberries and strawberries on top. PERFECTION.
Lauren made a fresh croissant sandwich... pesto/feta/greens/fried egg/bruschetta + mini croissant = YUM
Bethany made this ridiculously tasty casserole - a mixture of tater tots, red peppers, scrambled eggs, copious amounts of cheddar cheese, and sriracha! Microwaved all together till the cheese melts = wow. Decadent and delicious.
It was a lovely day for creativity and experiments in the dining hall - you should try it sometime!
Oh, and there were human-sized chickens everywhere celebrating the inception of cage free! eggs in all of the dining halls. Progress!
