Germany on Toast

The title is referring to the breakfast we had today. It's not typical German or anything, but it's what Nidhal and I always used to eat for breakfast in Germany when I was visiting him. It's just toast (or a Brötchen in Germany) with cream cheese and Chimea (a Tunisian nut paste). So we had that today along with a soft-boiled egg, and it was wunderbar.

SNOW DAY! Yes, EMU decided to close the university for today, so I do not have class tonight. This is, of course, a good thing, because I hadn't done my homework yet. Whoops. :) I'm excited.

Now with my free day, I am going to make chocolate croissants. Technically, they are crescent rolls from a can, but I didn't feel like going through all the work to make actual croissants. One day I will, but not today. However, I did make the chocolate ganache to but inside them. Not that that was difficult, but it's an accomplishment nevertheless.

My cold is slowly getting better.

And I HATE it that stores are always so so SO far ahead of the actual season. Nidhal and I went to get boots for him in December or early January, when the snowy season was just beginning, and they were all on clearance already! There wasn't one nice pair left. And then yesterday we were in Meijer and saw Spring Oreos with yellow cream centers. It's not even Valentine's Day yet! Wouldn't it make more sense to have Oreos with pink centers right now? And we can't forget Target who puts winter boots and coats out in August and swimsuits out in January. Stupid.
