Cooks and Crafts: Jersey Shore No Bake Cake
|To continue with the Italian theme that permeates this issue’s Lifestyle section, I thought I should share a recipe as an homage to one of the most Italian places in the U.S.—New Jersey.
As a Jersey native, I could go on about the culinary joys that only the Garden State has to offer. From boardwalk pizza to massive bagels, New Jersey—excuse the pun—takes the cake. However, New Jersey not only masters the art of grease and lard, but it also has some of the best tasting fruits and vegetables including corn, tomatoes and blueberries.

Cooks and Crafts: Origami Horse
|This past Friday rang in the Chinese New Year, I thought it would be pretty fun to find an origami craft to help celebrate. This year is the Year of the Horse.
Origami is a really tricky art form. People who can create origami pieces really well astound me. I feel like your fingers have to do nearly as much acrobatics as the paper does in order to get the piece together. But if you take it slowly and relax, origami can be very fun with very minimal mess.

From the mysteries on the moors of Baskerville Hall to the strange murders caused by a “Speckled Band,” I was hooked.
