Sylly week hump day! You know what that means: cookies! Don't have an oven? No worries! You can make these stupidly easy cookies in your microwave.
Alcohol is a wonderful thing: the cause and salve of all man's problems. However one does not always need alcohol to have fun. Downtown State College is certainly in agreement with this statement, as the local event known as “First Night” can attest to. First Night is a big celebration of the past year and a fun way to ring in the new one.
Sometimes we all have those days where coffee just isn’t going cut it. These are the days I put on my best sweats and my “I’m going interact with people today” game face, in order to get myself some cozy hot chocolate goodness. Since finals are coming up and most people (like me) eat their stress away, I’ve decided to rank the most popular/easily accessible hot chocolate destinations to make your last minute snack runs more efficient.
The aptly named “365 Days: A Year in Happy Valley”, a documentary directed by Erik Poulx, takes a year to focus on the general impact the scandal had on the State College community and how its members are healing and moving forward.
The Penn State Squirrels are an extremely well known fixture on campus and recently Sneezy the Squirrel has become their unofficial spokesperson. I was ecstatic to find that Sneezy had a secret recipe of her very own – peanut butter cookies. Sneezy looked very official in her picture on facebook with her cute little chef hat, so I hastened to attempt making her cookies myself.
I didn’t grow up on Indian food -- I didn’t even taste my first bite of it until a high school friend invited me over to his house. His mom would always insist on cooking for us, even if we weren’t hungry, creating a dazzling spread of naan, saag paneer, and lentils. The combination of warm spices and love are, what I think, the things that make Indian food so welcoming (especially on a cold day). India Pavilion is the epitome of what Indian food is all about.
