On a cold rainy day one might find themselves enjoying a hot cup of chamomile tea in the comfort of their own bed. However, the tea enthusiast in me found myself at the doorstep of The Beehive Café.
Quaint and quiet, as expected; wood flooring and paneling surrounded the café. My friend and I were slightly confused. We expected the café to formal. Instead, we walked up to a counter to order lunch. To the right of the counter, "Obama 44".."Ruby Sippers" .. jars packed with fragrant teas lined the shelves. We picked out drinks and entrees and were given an animal as our table marker; we were given a gorilla. It was very interesting (to say the least).

Not Your Average Joes Restaurant Review
Not only is it delicious and affordable, it's also a chain! Not Your Average Joe's is on the uprising, and can be found in various locations in the Massachusetts/Rhode Island area. I have been to this restaurant chain over ten times and can't rave enough about it.My experiences at this restaurant have always been good ones. When my family visits me at school, there is no question where we want to go to dinner. Being a student at Johnson and Wales University, I have experience in the culinary field and front of the house services, and the NYAJ staff is a knockout across the board. The food is fresh, creative, and very memorable. It's consistent, clean, and the staff is very friendly without crossing the line of professionalism. Check out my restaurant review posted in the link below and give NYAJ a try yourself!

The best chocolate chip cookie for less than a dollar
It is easy for me to say that the chocolate chip cookie is my weakness. So much my weakness in fact that I get energy from eating one. Basically I will try a chocolate chip cookie wherever they are available for example Starbucks, McDonald's, Mrs. Field's and even fancy restaurants.I have paid up to ten dollars for a single cookie. Now, for any other chocolate chip lovers like myself, listen up. If you have not made the amazing discovery of the best overall chocolate chip cookies around then this is your lucky day. as crazy as it sounds, the best chocolate chip cookie is everywhere. I mean in a quick service restaurant that has surpassed even McDonald's as the largest chain. I am talking about Subway. There is no better tasting cookie than theirs especially for the price. I mean they are a perfect size and perfect chip to cookie ratio. Basically, if you get one from Subway early in the morning when they are fresh out of the oven, you will be in heaven.

On Wednesday, April 9th I had the privilege to attend a seminar in which the author of the book Blood, Bones, and Butter, Gabrielle Hamilton, spoke at. At first I didn't know what to expect, and honestly looking around I couldn't tell which person she was. When she was first called on stage, I realized that she was an ordinary women that really took her passion and ran with it. She talked first about her past, and within her explanations she would read excerpts from her book. They were honestly moving. She was a blunt women who described her life to the T.
From the whole seminar I got that Blood, Bones, and Butter follows an unconventional journey through the many kitchens Hamilton has been through in the years: the rural kitchen of her childhood, where her adored mother stood over the six-burner with an oily wooden spoon in hand; the easy catering companies that helped pay the rent; Hamilton’s own kitchen at Prune, with its many unexpected challenges; and the kitchen of her Italian mother-in-law—the result of a difficult marriage that she was able to fight through and ended up paying off for her.
This seminar really gave me a new thought of life itself. I was able, for those two hours I sat in that auditorium, just listen and really get good information based off of what she believed. She believes that women one day, even starting now, are beginning to get a bigger role in the culinary kitchen, but to her she just likes to "chill man" as she would put it. I truly recommend that you read her book and/or even just read about her life, because she inspired me.

Acoustic songs rock my socks
I gotta say acoustic songs are sometimes better than the original. This is Four Years by The Story So Far. It's just a good song to listen too while you do homework.

"Blood Bones and Butter"
On Wednesday April 9, 2014 at 7pm I attended Gabrielle Hamilton's book seminar at the Schneider Auditorium. I had so many different expectations. I had never seen nor heard of Gabrielle Hamilton until advertisements of her memoir had been posted all along my campus. She was advertising her seminar with a few straight-and-to-the-point images of simply....blood, bones and of course, butter.
When Gabrielle Hamilton took the stage in the auditorium, she immediately captured the attention of the room. Whether it was her dry humor or her frank comments, she was a very complex and interesting woman. "What is your opinion about the male chefs that dominate the industry and how is it working with them?" Her reply- "I am an advocate for woman's equality but I don't know we just all hang out man. I am one of them."
You could tell that Hamilton had a great deal of experience in the field of Culinary Arts. She used certain terms for dishes that she had written about. Her amazing descriptions captured the complexity of the dishes she made and consumed. She was ultimately mesmerizing.
She told a story of a young girl who started off cooking in the kitchen with her large family. Who then spent most of her teenage years in the streets, red tube top and all. She spoke of a teen who was taking lines of coke at the age of 13. Who then began to realized she needed money, so she began to work in a restaurant. That teenager was her. I truly admire how Hamilton prospers to live her life to the fullest. I respect her work ethic, and how far she has come. She seems to have faced many things in her life and she is still a strong and empowering woman.
I would definitely recommend reading her book and seeing what she's all about!

Another Brick In The Wall- Pink Floyd
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teach, leave them kids alone
Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone
All in all it's just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
To me, Pink Floyd is a band that I have grown up with, whatever the problem, mood, or situation, there is always a song to calm my mood. Right now, it is mid-term (mid-trimester) and I am ready to graduate. I do not want to deal with anymore class then I already have. On top of all this, I have been sick and missing class has really taken a toll on me.
This song just happens to be my favorite and the lyrics suck me in just like the ocean. Jus the rhythm of the song and the words can change me from really mad to completely calm in a matter of minutes. It starts off as "the teaches" talking from a point of view, in some sense. It then switches to the children taking control and stating their own opinion and "laying down the law!"
