i'm not sure that anyone knows how much of a closet tennis freak i am, but this is my official confession. i love to watch tennis, especially wimbledon. i don't know if it is because of all the time i spent in london, but i get nutty about watching wimbledon. i've watched tennis pretty much constantly since it started, but today was beyond insanity. the isner-mahut phenomenon that occurred today was extremely addictive. i missed the first half hour of today because i was talking to bryan, but i watched tennis for an entire morning and couldn't stop. by the time they called the match for the day, i couldn't hardly watch anymore for the pain of it all. i really hope i have enough time before class tomorrow to watch the end. this is fair warning to anyone who might think about ruining it for me.
after all of the wimbledon excitement, i did a significant amount of research for my locavore assignment and now have some really good ideas for items for my dessert menus. i think i am going to choose new england as my location. they have some really awesome farm to table initiatives and also some really great produce so it could make for a really interesting project. i'm getting really excited about putting it all together. oh, i should probably explain what the assignment is all about. we have to choose a geographic location and then design a dessert menu for the four seasons using as much locally grown or produced ingredients as possible. one of the biggest reasons that i chose new england for my region is that i get to use real maple syrup as an ingredients and they have cranberries, an ingredient that i feel has great potential in the dessert world.
