It's finally Spring Break! This semester has been overwhelming with 5 classes. The readings alone are enough to take up my 24 hours, not to mention all the assignments and projects. I'm so glad I have a week to recuperate but it just feels really weird to go back after Spring Break and still be in the middle of the semester. What a drag.
I took the opportunity to really relax, and do what I enjoy most -- baking. It's so therapeutic. Baby and I also drove to Napa Valley to enjoy some wine from the castle. Before that, he took me to satisfy my craving of In-n-Out burgers. I don't understand all the hype over Shake-Shack. Personally, hands down In-n-Out is better than Shake Shack. So to be fair, if I crave In-n-Out when I'm in New York, I'll probably still head to Shake Shack, but if I had a choice to choose, I'll want my In-n-Out. Delicious!!!
I made two batches of cookies -- one with chocolate chips, and one without to satisfy all my loved ones. While my sister and I loveeee chocolate, my boyfriend, his family, my aunt and uncle don't really care for it and prefer non-chocolate type of desserts. They turn out to be a hit! Both batches are equally good, I can't wait to bake more of these for gifts.
