Valentines, Fire Alarms, and Snow

Busy weekend here. Friday evening was the annual homegroup guys make the girls dinner and affirm that they’re good people, even though largely single people night. Cory (grad student cory, not roommate Cory) cooked spaghetti with meat sauce, chocolate covered strawberries, angel’s food cake toppings, and attempted to cook fried ice cream.

Slusher Fire AlarmThe fried ice cream was classic. By classic, I mean it set off the Slusher fire alarm. Cory burnt one serving of fried ice cream when his plastic spoon he was using melted in the boiling oil. We got the ice cream out, and didn’t notice much smoke, but we opened all the windows. A few minutes later, the oil was still smoking a little, so we gave up and took it outside. We propped the doors open and fanned the smoke detectors. The smoke was mostly gone and we were breathing easy that we hadn’t set off the alarm when it went off. Now, this was more than five minutes after the oil had been outside. Makes me feel real good about the quality of the dorm fire alarms. Thankfully, the poiice weren’t mad at us and we can call this valentine’s Dinner “unforgettable”.

Snow in the mountainsI took Saturday and Sunday off from work. It snowed most of that time, and I enjoyed a quiet day around the house and a lot of fun boarding and sledding on the golf course. Throw some movies, staying in bed until afternoon, and other fun in there and you have a relaxing weekend. I’m enjoying not having that much work this semester! The only downside to the weekend was that my car is going to need a new tailight cover.
