Working Lunch (February 14, 2014)

So most days I stay in the classroom during lunch and read or work on problems or review my notes while I eat. Most people leave the classroom and go out to lunch or go home. But this Friday my mom came to town and it seemed like a great time to take a true break and not work during lunch. A classmate recommended Café Bernado in Davis (http://www.paragarys.com/sacramento-restaurants/cafe-bernardo/cafe-bernardo-davis/). One of the only other two female classmates joined my mom and I at a really yummy and relaxing lunch. And one of the best parts of being in beer school is feeling like I'm obligated to try different beer as often as I can. A beer with lunch is no longer a guilty pleasure but is now a professional duty! This one was Hairy Eyeball, a dark ale by Lagunitas (http://lagunitas.com/beers/hairy-eyeball/#). It was fantastic and I highly recommend it! Oh, the pizza was amazing, too. After this, we got to go back for a relaxing and interesting afternoon of sensory science with Sue Langstaff (http://appliedsensory.com/About_Us.php). She always teaches us so much about improving our ability to be more sensitive and descriptive. It was a perfect Friday!
