Iron Chef: Duke Edition

October 30, 2010 by katieatthekitchendoor

When Becky forwarded me an email announcing that Duke would be hosting its own version of Iron Chef this fall, I was too excited for words. I’ve never really participated in any events at Duke, and this was clearly going to be my shining moment. The competition announcement stated that competitors would need to work in teams of two, and that they would have one hour to create and serve two dishes, one sweet and one savory, that incorporated the […]

Cupcake Lovin’, Part Three

Margie – [Pronounced Marrrr-ghee] A hilarious species native to Israel. I mean, New York. Known to carry a large camera, abbreviate most words in the English and Hebrew languages, and ask for crowns relentlessly. Often seen practicing Judaism and stealing bagels at the Freeman center. Adapts easily to some external habitats, but will stagnate in others, most notably the park in Budapest and dirty hostels in Cesky Krumlov. Is much better than Helen Wang at carrying large bags of groceries. […]

We’ve reached that point in the semester that’s like the Wednesday of a busy week – fall break already seems like it happened months ago, Thanksgiving is about 30 midterms away, the excitement of being back at school has worn off, and we’re tired. We need to be re-focused. We need a detox – a mental, physical, and emotional detox. My physical rejuvenation is getting a kick-start with my mom’s vegetarian chili. It’s one of my favorite recipes of all […]

Cupcake Lovin’, Part Two

Megan is my rooms. In fact, this is the fourth year in a row that she has been my rooms. That’s a pretty solid relationship right there. Two years ago after a particularly thirsty night out I came home and asked her, quite plaintively I believe, if we could be roommates forever, and ever, for life. I was completely serious. I still am completely serious. She would have to let a seriously large amount of laundry mixed with dirty dishes […]

Recap: September

October 3, 2010 by katieatthekitchendoor

I’m literally shocked that September is already over. It went fast. I feel like I’ve just barely gotten to school and yet we actually just finished the fifth week of class. So we’re going to do a little recap just so I feel like we can officially move into October. In September, I had fun. A lot of fun. More fun than I’ve had in a while, and definitely more fun than I was expecting to have back at Duke. […]
