Hey there!
hey!
How's it going?
pretty good! it's a new semester so life is pretty good
Nice outlook. New semester, clean slate. You're right life is good
how are you?
I'm good.
what are you up to?
I'm currently at work actually.
haha, not a lot to do?
I don't have a ton to do today so I thought I would multi task Yep, haha Don't judge me!
nice! is it usually like that?
During the beginning of the summer I don't have a ton to do. My busy season just ended and is now about to pick up again soon So I usually enjoy the month of it not being so busy
that's really nice. i'm about the same. i have a week of relaxation and then it's back into the thick of things
What are you up to? Yeah, and people tease me about wasting my time but I dedicate a lot of solid work time
haha, nice. i'm taking a break. i'm about to go apply for a job, and then i'm off working on checking stuff off my todo list
So you're having a rather productive day then?
ya, so far. i found some time to talk to my girlfriend, and have been working on prep for the interview. so i'd say so
Very cool! Is this an adult job? Or like a campus job
haha, MTC so like right in the middle
Haha very nice. That will probably be a fun job for you I imagine Are you going to the chat thing tonight?
what is it?
They're have an event where students go and chat and get free pizza I guess
oooh! i like free pizza!
Haha that gets most people to go
but i'm getting to be lactose en tolerant, so i might skip on that.
You're starting to become lactose intolerant? How does that work?
i have no idea. Ever since i got back from my mission it's been slowly getting worse. i'm scared that one day i won't be able to eat ice cream any more :/
Yikes. Good news, there is dairy-free ice cream
wouldn't that be a sad future? true! but it's not as good
I am an ice cream connoisseur, and a person sensitive to dairy. It is possible to co exist haha You just have to find the good brands. Some of it is bad, but some is good.
any recommendations in case it ever gets bad> ? also, have you always been sensitive to dairy?
There's one farmers market stand that makes vegan ice cream. They have a spinach mint that is phenomenal The SoDelicious brand isn't so bad.
spinach mint? i'm not sure if i can trust anything you say now ;)
I also just suffer from time to time, because some time you need a blizzard, and nothing compares to a chocolate extreme blizzard hahah No no, I understand. And that's what I thought too! It's actually amazing. There's a chocolate ganache on top too
oooh! that does sound really good right now. even with all the rain outside.
Exactly! You could also start going for sorbets instead, I suppose
ick. no way. also, speaking of ganache, my girlfriend and i made a salted caramel ganache a few weeks ago, and it was super good to die for actually
WHAT That sounds so good
I'm kind of getting the feeling that you are a lover of all good foods.
I am definitely a foodie and like finding good things.
you have any good finds recently?
For example, I like ice cream, wanted a dairy free good version, so I bought an ice cream maker and make a coconut milk based cherry garcia Now that is good ice cream
you are my new best friend
Hahah Hi best friend, nice to meet you!
hahaha, right back at you!
Yeah, I'm working on a dairy free salted caramel ice cream right now. I just don't want to puree cashews to have that as part of the base
how much do ice cream makers cost?
but now that you mentioned the salted caramel ganache, I may have to add that in. Uhm, I'm like really interested in ice cream, so I bought an expensive one with a compresser
my mouth is watering
You can get them for like $40 on KSL though
wo! how much did yours cost?
Mine retails for about $300, but I paid $100 and bought it used. Some people have a problem with that, but ice cream makers are rarely used by people, so I don't have a problem with it at all.
nice! this is why i need a job. that way i can buy nice stuff like that
Check KSL though. The Cuisinart ICE-70 is a decent one.
i'm gonna write that down for later
You do have to freeze the bowl though, which can be obnoxious, and the ice cream forms more icecrystals Like I said, I'm a little obsessed with ice cream.
i kind of like chunky ice ream though. like ice cream with more ice crystals
I don't think you mean that. You probably like a smooth one that is chunky with toppings? Man now I wish we were real friends and I'd make you ice cream! Anywho, have you found any cool food places recently?
i don't know how to describe it. I like the frozen chunks in ice cream surrounded by softer more melted portions. i haven't found any places, but i have made some good food. are you going to the event tonight?
Oh, I think I know what you might be referring to I might stop by, I still haven't decided for sure. What good food did you make?
i made some creme brule french toast and some filippino food called lumpia.
Hot dang! So I haven't ever tried creme brulee for fear of trying a mediocre one. Any places you'd recommend as the first place to try it?
i don't know.. the best ones i've always have had are home made ones. I had some in park city once though. the top was a little bit over flamed, but otherwise it was pretty good.
Okay, so make it myself I don't have a torch though But I've always wanted to try it out!
that can be a slight problem. the custard is pretty good by itself though.
Nah, gotta go big or go home I wonder how much a torch is
haha, no idea. i've never tought of buying one.
Oh they're pretty cheap. Only like $15
really? hmmm
DUDE Think of the possibilities!
what else can you make with those?
You could make like a bananas foster thing Banana split French toast All the carmelizing you could do. Just imagine!
mmmmm. that sounds really good! have you ever thought about culinary school?
I would totally go But mostly just for fun I don't actually want to work in a kitchen as a chef But I've thought about it just to improve my skills I want to take cooking classes in general though. And I also like traveling, so I thought about combining the two.
same here! like one day when i get rich and retire at a young age, i'm oing to go to culinary school
Haha exactly!
funny story, before i met my grilfriend she never really tried new foods and stuck to what she knew and hardly ever cooked. now that we are dating she's constantly trying new food and we bake and cook together all the time
That's so awesome!
cooking brings people together.
That's also cool that you guys have a hobby you can do together. It seriously does! Argh. This is a very fun and fascinating conversation for me, but unfortunately I have a meeting I have to get to.
sad, i should probably go too
Thanks for chatting with me though. I'm glad we're best friends haha Good luck with the interview today! You're going to kill it!
if you go the the thing tonight imight also be there!
Awesome, perhaps I'll see you there then!
see ya round
