Week 6 in Athens

I think I’m finally getting used to the heat! My parents called from Michigan to say that they were having a heat wave there. It made me laugh when I was informed it was only in the low 90s.

Asenath and I are having so much fun here at UGA, at work and also away. We had Monday off, so we planned a little road trip to Helen, GA. We went tubing down the Chattahoochee River. There were so many people on the river, but it was still a ton of fun.

The work week was spent working on our projects and taking some little field trips around Athens. Kris took us to visit Your Pie in town, and we got to meet the owner. It was awesome to meet someone so ambitious and successful. We also met with Jittery Joe’s owner at his roasting facility. It was fun because we got there when he was in the middle of roasting a blend, so we got to see the process.

Our plans for the Freshmen College closing banquet are coming together nicely. Our menu is for the most part set. We will be testing some recipes this week with Shelly. The flowers and linens are all ordered, and Stacia is helping us put together our graphics. We are also starting to do a lot of work on our Tossing Greens Project. We have organized the information about the produce that they all ready use and now we are contact with representatives from Royal and Destiny Organics to get information on produce pricing and availability.
