Do you all remember getting book report assignments in high school or grammar school? Having to sit down and do summer reading which consisted of an 82-page Goosebumps book or a classic from the infamous Babysitters 
Club saga. Those were the days. Yeah, I complained and tried to cut corners by using comic sans font size 14, but no more. . . I am at a top liberal arts college. My days of cutting corners are over. I just hoped that the colleges of Indiana wouldn't know my writing secrets. . . I keep forgetting that I am at one of the best liberal art colleges in the country. Oops. Luckily, I adapt quite quickly.
Well, my point is that as a junior English literature major, I am now a professional book report writer. It's kind of like the good ole days, minus size 14 font. I read on average about 500-550 pages a week. Some times more and some times less. Normally it is very interesting. We have a 10:1 faculty ratio and most of our classes are discussion based, so it definitely helps to do the reading. Which I do, of course.
I wanted to share some stories from my new Literature of Food class. This professor is amazing! She spent a year in Thailand studying Thai cuisine and has been all over the world. This is the first semester for this upper-level course that combines food and literature. We meet once a week and every week she brings some exciting treat. I guess that makes up for the hundreds of pages of reading. The first day, she brought stuffed red peppers, hummus and wheat crackers, mango-stein tea, and tarts with... get this: candied ROSE PETALS FROM PARIS. Are you just as excited as I am? This past week she brought lavender lemonade, Vietnamese carrot salad and banana bread with cinnamon frosting. . . mmm... But, back to the literature! We read this interesting book called How to Cook a Wolf about a woman's tricks for eating and surviving on a budget during the extreme rationing of WWII. I highly recommend it. We also read a funny play called "The Art of Dining." So far, the class is really interesting and I am enjoying myself. Luckily, I am at a small liberal arts college because there are only 20 people in the whole class, so we get more attention... and more food. That's all for now, hope you're not too hungry!
Peace&Love,
Danni
