Its been a cold, rainy day here in the 'Burgh. We recently realized that our downstairs neighbors control the heat for our 2 apartments. Unfortunately for me, Spencer is from Massachusetts and when I went down there earlier bundled up to investigate the heating situation, he was hanging out with his window open, fan on and in a short sleeved shirt. After fiddling with the thermostat, we were unsuccessful in turning the heat on and I don't know what I'm going to do when real winter sets in. Although, the roommate and I have discovered a makeshift space heater- The oven! The kitchen was so nice and toasty after making dinner, that once it started to get cold again, we decided to make Baked Apples as a study break treat and to provide some warmth (yeah, that's a fancy Saturday night in grad school, be jealous).
Before going into the oven:

My study break treat, so tasty:
In other, more fun news, I got to go to the Dodger game last night. Sadly, they didn't have a good night. But it was fun to go downtown and have a study break. We saw lots of G20 security, but no protesters or official G20 activity. We luckily had dry weather after rain on Thursday. The skyline looked beautiful and we enjoyed $1 hotdogs (although they don't make up the absence of pre-game Phillipe's tradition).
Also, don't tell Hannah, but I made a new friend when we got home:
looks like your enjoying yourself! Keep blogging, I love keeping up with how grad school is going for you!
