Saturday my day off?

So yes, it is a Saturday and technically i am off today but I have finals on Tuesday and papers due on Monday. One paper is on Marshmallows - at least it isn't on Peace Talks. The second paper is giving me a hard time I have to use 8 definitions in a paper on a baked good of my choosing separated into two categories Fats & Sugars. I think I am going to do a Pretzel. Why not? I guess I have been picking wacky topics because we talk about serious bread all day and croissants and what makes it so flaky and a good croissant over a bad one. It is just flour, water, salt yeast and maybe some butter. Everyone is so serious.
Yesterday, we took a little field trip to see a cheese maker it was out at Point Reyes, The Cowgirl Creamery. Great cheese and great business owners. They actually make vegetarian cheese by using a vegetarian rennet which is very rare. Not that the rennet is rare - just rare that a cheese maker is using a vegetarian rennet.
That is another thing you learn a whole lot about food that maybe you really didn't want to know. Like did you know that all, and I mean all sugar is put through a filtration process that involves bones? White, raw, all browns kind of crazy -oh, and that all brown was white and then sprayed with molasses it is easier and cheaper to just process all sugar at once then go back and make some into brown and light brown sugar.
So I finally took a break today and walked over to the Berringer Tasting room and did some tastings, used my student ID for a real nice discount(free) do not tell anyone. Then walked back to my place of residence and struggled with this Fats and Sugars paper. And now I am back in the computer lab I thought it might help sitting in front of the computer ...not so much
Well, I should get back to work missing you all :-)
