I am just finishing up my Pen Court rotation and our big assignment for this rotation was to plan a theme day at the Pendulum Court (our dietetics cafe at BYU). The theme was "A Day on Broadway." We got our inspiration after we all saw Wicked in Denver and loved it!
Our menu for theme day included: teriyaki glazed salmon with wild rice, NY pizza with a Caesar salad and tuxedo dipped strawberry, white bean chili, cream puffs with a raspberry sauce, German chocolate cookies, and churros y chocolate. We loooooved our food but it was definitely a challenge getting to that point. We made cream puffs 4 times and went through over 100 eggs before we finally somewhat perfected the recipe.

When theme day finally came we were so excited but definitely not prepared for the craziness that was about to occur. People were lined up outside of Pen Court 1 hour before we opened! Once we started serving, girls were just running all over the kitchen to keep up with the crowd. Our "made-to-order" pizza was so much more popular than we thought it would be. There is no way we could have ever survived without the other three interns there to help us. But at the end of the day we were so happy with how things turned out and treated ourselves to a soda with our teacher, Sister Mitchell.

Thursday is my last day in this rotation. I can definitely say that I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would and will miss seeing the pen court students every day and really miss the lunches.

In other news in our life....Ellie is getting big and Adam has been working so hard to try to train her. She is doing pretty well but she is still a puppy so she loves to chew on whatever she can get into her mouth. We are also getting very excited for our Christmas break and to go home to California to see our family and friends.
