Happy Tuesday, everyone.
I'm going to have to start off this post with something tragic, and very sad. As many of you know, I attend the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. We as a community are currently grieving the loss of a student, Jennifer Houle. Houle went missing from Dinkytown last Thursday night, and a search to find her quickly ensued. Yesterday, the Minneapolis Police Department confirmed that Houle had entered the Mississippi River from the 10th Ave Bridge (about 200-300 yards from where I live). It is unclear whether she jumped or fell, but the search for her remains has now gone to the river. There will be a vigil held in her memory tonight, which I will be sure to attend. No, I did not know her personally, but I have friends who do. This is an action of solidarity for a lost Gopher. The Houle family is asking for privacy during this time, but unfortunately the 24-hour news cycle is taking its toll. My thoughts are with Houle's family, friends, and sorority sisters during this time of tragedy. My heart hurts for someone I've never known. But let's get back to some normalcy. Of course, I'll share some links today. I'm currently digging... Trevor Noah to succeed Jon Stewart -- I know there have now been some controversial tweets that people are talking about, but Noah is a, smart choice, and I think he could bring a lot to the Daily Show. Fraggle Rock -- I can't wait to see JGL tackle this. False Cognates -- You guys know I speak Spanish, right? Street Tacos -- I'm not usually in love with tacos, but it's Taco Tuesday, and these babies look wonderful. Classic Carbonara -- So pretty, so simple, and I so want to shove it in my face. Our Most Shameful Kitchen Confessions -- I'm always so happy to see that accomplished cooks don't always do it properly either. The Best Cities To Live in Without a Car -- I'm twenty and I don't have my driver's license. I'm waiting for the day that Minneapolis is on this list. Or you know... I'll just move. Let's Talk (Frankly) About Sex -- I'm all about that comprehensive sex education. Sweet Lemon Biscuits -- These look bonkers awesome. One Bowl Tiramisu -- Yes please. Chocolate Peanut Butter Sprinkle Cake -- I was inspired and made something like this yesterday for my friend, Blake's birthday. My friend Rose drew a penis on it. So yeah. It's not on the blog. Yet. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cake -- Apparently I'm craving chocolate and peanut butter. Feminist Ben & Jerry's flavors -- They should hire me to make these a reality. And for many more pun laden ice creams. If the SOTU were written by a sophomore in high school -- DYING. DYING I TELLING YOU. Goat Cheese and Caramelized Onion Pizza -- all about dat pizza. Stand Up for Your Cats -- I love my cat. I'm not a spinster. I think. Vintage Cake -- I dunno what makes this vintage, but I want to eat it. That's it for this week. To any Gopher who might be reading this; if you're grieving that is ok. Please take care of yourself and seek out help if you need it. University Counseling and Consulting Services (UCCS) and Boynton Mental Health can be a great resource. You're not alone.
