Happy New Year to all who missed the D.I.V.A.! I've been quiet on the blog front over the last few months (this thing called a doctoral degree and teaching really take a lot out of a gal!). So before I get to my most recent adventure - which you're going to love - here's a peek at this past semester at a glance...
 |
A reunion with a fellow
Michigan State University ('08)
Homecoming Court member! |
 |
| A Caribbean "carnival" in Cambridge, MA |
 |
| "You go do me, I do you..." P-Square style! |
 |
Nigeria-meets-my-hometown
family reunion |
 |
| Me and the Dean of my undergrad |
 |
MSU Homecoming Game '15
(just like old times!!) |
 |
Seeing Ta-Nehisi Coates,
a fellow Middlebury French School alum,
present on his award-winning book |
 |
A little site-seeing after speaking with
Barbara Bush at University of the Sciences |
 |
Enjoying a glass of Veuve-Clicquot, a birthday cake, and a
birthday balloon "on the house" at Liberty Hotel for my
personal birthday retreat (highly recommend it)! |
And of course, how can I not include some of my most exciting culinary creations of the season!
 |
| Homemade french bread rolls. Before... |
 |
| ...and after. |
 |
| Homemade pecan pie (without corn syrup!) |
 |
| Homemade holiday apple pie. Before... |
 |
| ...middle... |
 |
| ...And after! |
 |
Homemade mixed berry tart
(after only, sans garnish) |
 |
A selection of homemade chewy sugar cookies,
decorated by me and my brothers! |
 |
| Yum! |
 |
| Quick and easy mini-doughnuts |
 |
| And homemade, double macaroni and cheese! |
From me to you, Happy New Year, and get ready for the new adventures of a D.I.V.A. in ...!
