Amy Gutmann's Study Break

Holiday style!

There were cookies, nuts, chocolate, a chocolate fountain, and drinks, brought to us by Amy Gutmann's hired catering company [the same one as the one at Halloween?]. It was in her backyard, and it was indoors inside this huge tent, tinted blue.

Cliche holiday cookies, with nice normal milk chocolate.

Dry, airy sticky buns that tasted quite bland and cold. I did not like it.

Milk Chocolate!

The disgusting liquorice-ish cookies are the white ones... I'm not sure if it's liquorice or anise or something... but it was disgusting! I thought it was powdered sugar.

Coconut macaroons, caramel thins...chocolate cookies. Tuesday 14 December.

Hunan Manor

Hello Doctor State, a.k.a MD, Maryland!
After being in the car from 3:45pm to 8:15pm, we finally arrived at my parents' friends' house. They then drove us to dinner at Hunan Manor, which - surprise surprise - is a Chinese restaurant. I personally didn't have a great impression of it when I went in, because of this:
Dude, it's nearly mid 2010. And, "dungenese" isn't that great to advertise to people who speak English.
They actually, though, had a ton of vegetarian stuff that was, well, DELICIOUS.
The weird fried flour thing:
Napkin roses; the one on the right is mine, the one on the left is my brother's:
Fried tofu with mushrooms:
Sweet and Sour "Pig" [a.k.a gluten]. Actually, I was gonna get Sweet and Sour "Chicken" [a.k.a gluten], but the waitress literally said, "That one doesn't taste good." Then again, the "pig" dish cost more, so I guess that was their marketing ploy. Either way, it looks like the real thing, and the sauce was really good! The "pig/gluten" part itself though was really dense so I suppose it depends on people's preferences. I don't think I really like dense stuff, except fudge and brownies and toffee [you get the picture].
