Che bella savoiardi!

Ok, so I can't speak Italian. I could have told you that. Tonight, however I tried to make Savoiardi again. This time it wasn't a total disaster. They taste nice and spongy and they're pretty looking. The only problem....they're more like Lady Fingers than truly authentic Savoiardi. Well, back to the drawing board with that. Perhaps if added baking powder next time. I don't understand how all these recipes I've looked at can not add baking powder and still claim to be Savoiardi? Well, next time I'll add baking powder. And perhaps a touch of something else. At least these taste pretty amazing. They're just........lady fingers. Nothing more, really. Though they're MUCH better than last time. MUCH better. Did I mention how they were MUCH better? Yeah, I thought I might have.

So the morning Z and L left for BC, I made banana bread. No doubt it was amazing. My banana bread always is fucking awesome. But that picture below, that's all that's left. After 2 days....I had two pieces. Yeah. That's ok. There's always more where that came from.

Tomorrow is friday!! Huzzah! What do I have planned for this weekend? Nothing. But who knows, something may come up. Mostly I plan to read Measure for Measure and work my ass off on Calc. Because that's what's really important right now. All I want is a C in that class. I'm not even going to be picky.

Thanksgiving is coming up, which means so is my 21st birthday. I seriously can't wait. When I get home from Thanksgiving, I'm totally going to Napa for a day or something and getting some wine. That would be awesome. Now if I could find someone to drive me around. That would be even more awesome--though most likely taxing. I shall invite people and see who's interested.

OOH! I almost forgot, I ran into my RA from freshman year in the dorms--which means I haven't seen her since like, May of 06--on Wednesday morning. (Wednesday was a surprisingly good day.) So, anyways, I ran into J and we exchanged numbers and apparently we know a lot of the same people--other that people we had in common before. So I should invite her on my impromptu Napa trip. I think she'd go. And that would be awesome because if she'd go, there's a good chance S would go and I haven't seen S since last May either. It would be good fun. Hopefully L--my favorite roommate ever--would come with us too. She's not 21, but she could be the designated driver. This is starting to sound like a plan.
