The past week has been very busy. Normal schoolwork continues, but on top of that there are job interviews, moot court, financial aid applications, and life in general. When my despised moot court brief is finally turned in, I think I shall dance my way out of school.
It's not just me. All my friends are feeling the pinch right now.
Without any formal group decision-making on the subject, we have apparently decided to combat the stress with food. On Wednesday, D. unexpectedly brought brownies to class. These weren't just any brownies. These were so dark with bittersweet chocolate that they were almost black, but saved from being utterly overwhelming with the faint orange zest she used to complement the chocolate. They were heavenly.
On Thursday, T. made some excellent chocolate chip cookies for her organization's bake sale, but saved a batch for all of us. "I think we need it more than they need to raise money," she concluded. Munching on the cookies after Torts, we had to agree.
On Friday, A. invited us all over to her house for a pizza party. She generously bought the pizza for everybody, saying that it was a thank you gift for "going through this with me!" We all ate melty cheese pizza and rejoiced that the week was over.
I think it's my turn. What should I make? I am looking for something with high procrastination value but nonetheless something that isn't too time-consuming.

Oh, great googly moogly! Brownies! Chocolate chip cookies! (What are those? I've forgotten.)
Hey, T. How about some shrimp and cocktail sauce? Or ... some of that Italian foccacia bread (not sure if I'm spelling it right, but it's kind of flat and you can get it in different flavors) with the flavored oil stuff?
God I'm hungry.
OK, here's what you should make: http://www.cogitatio.net/cogitation/index.php?m=200402#99
I'd post the reply here, but AOL is stingy with the comment size!@
Warning in advance, if you make the cupcakes in that recipe, you will forever be deemed the cupcake person and will be asked to make them over and over and over again ;)
For group munchies, it is hard to beat some good french bread and some cambazola (sp?). Some very distinct, soft blue cheese. Oh yum. Oh, and a good tart white wine...maybe a pinot grigio? Argh...shouldn't be thinking about food just before lunch. :)
Cheers,
Peter
You guys are making me hungry!
