One of my most beloved girly friends at HBS is in a joint-degree program with KSG and is running for HBS Co-President. In her list of august experiences, she inserts this:
"Came to HBS after attending UPenn, working at Bain & Company, and launching a social enterprise in the Himalayas sourcing yak down from herders"
The funny thing is, she is absolutely right.

A Baller Restaurant
Yesterday, DK and I planned yet another beautiful Chicago day around what we planned to eat. The Green City Market, one of America's best farmer's market, takes up residence bi-weekly at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum in Lincoln Park, Chicago. We go every weekend when it's outside during the summer, and the fact that it only takes place every week only heightens our excitement during the cold winter months.
Green City Market holds several chef demonstrations during each market, and yesterday we slipped into one being held by a chef, not the chef, from Hot Chocolate. Hot Chocolate in Bucktown is known for their ridiculously sumptuous and whimsical desserts served in a dim, lush lounge-type setting. The cook prepared marinated New Zealand venison and fingerling potatoes in enough duck fat to make any nutritionist's head spin. It was delicious.
It being Restaurant Week in Chicago, DK and I ventured for dinner to Le Colonial, a french-vietnamese restaurant located in the heart of the popular Rush Street district of restaurants, clubs, and bars. The ambiance was that of a French-Indochinese villa complete with palm fronds and Ikea candles, but the tables were so cramped together that I could easily hear every word and sigh from the 2 adjacent dinner parties. The guy to the left of us had brought his parents, looked to be in his early 30's, and was easily the most arrogant prick there. He wouldn't shut up, spoke condescendingly to his parents, and capped with the funniest comment of the night, "This was a baller restaurant!" Holla right back at you.

Awesome Haikus
Courtesy of Real Simple, a magazine I swiped from the gym today. Shh, don't tell.
I was running late.
I forgot to brush my teeth.
Please forgive my breath.
What an awful smell
when I open this Ziploc.
How can I eat this?

Heidi Klum
On my flight back to Boston, the in-flight entertainment was the E! True Hollywood Story of Heidi Klum. There are 2 reasons why I should be embarrassed to admit this.
1. I've actually watched a portion of the Heidi Klum story at home.
2. I was very annoyed when the flight attendants turned it off 80% of the way through. After all, who wouldn't want to know what how Miss Klum managed to go from giving birth to strutting the Victoria Secret catwalk in only 8 weeks?

A problem that PLAGUES society finally has a solution. Next up, an anti-gravity drug to prevent breasts from sagging.
Breakthrough research reveals a new element.
Dinner Party: Coq au vin = mediocre, Paella = reliably delicious, Roasted mixed mushrooms with crumbled goat cheese = surprisingly savory, Key Lime Pie = Good but need to practice the art of pressing graham cracker crumbs against the sides. How do you evenly press against the sloping vertical sides?
