Moving to the United Kingdom has been just one more step in this long adventure of mine. It seemed far less daunting than going to the Netherlands. I think that the American in me is happy and relieved to be in a place that has little hints of home. The first night I was here I walked to a supermarket that had a gigantic parking lot. For a second there, I thought that I was back home in my neighborhood Smiths parking lot. I'm excited for a new semester of adventure!


To celebrate my favorite sister’s I made her a cake with three cups of coffee.
They are on a base of devil’s food cake covered in dark chocolate ganache. The three cups coffee are devil’s food cake frosted with almond butter cream frosting. The middles were hollowed out and filled with mocha mousse.
