Adi Chaham week 19- Freezing Chocolate


    A few days ago, I was in the mood to try something new to make but more importantly, I wanted to eat something that was both cold and sweet and wasn’t ice cream. After contemplating what I should make myself, I thought to myself, I have the most genius idea, I am going to make frozen chocolate, something I have never done before. Being the lazy person I am, I wasn’t going to melt chocolate and do things that would require me to wash the dishes after, so I just took a pack of Reese’s pieces butter cups with the wrapper and put it in the freezer. 

For some unknown reason, I thought that it would be really tasty and I was super excited for them to freeze and eat them within 30-45 minutes. An hour passed, but the buttercups weren’t ready yet, so I placed them back in the freezer and waited about another 45 minutes. 

Finally, they were frozen enough, and maybe even too frozen, but I was looking forward to trying the chocolate and hoped it would be my new favorite simple go-to sweet snack. 

So, I proceed to try it. My expectations were pretty high because I thought how bad it could be, it’s just peanut butter and chocolate. However, the second I took a bite, I was very disappointed. I thought to myself, Why is this so gross? I don’t know what was wrong with it but, I didn’t enjoy it at all. I threw it out with disgust and disappointment. 

To be completely honest, I am still not sure why they were so bad but I have decided to just stick to eating ice cream if I ever want something that’s both cold and sweet, or of course, I could simply just melt chocolate myself and simply cover the peanut butter with chocolate and freeze it. But, that’s for next time! 

Have you guys ever tried freezing chocolate bars? If so, how did it turn out? What’s your go-to sweet snack? What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?

    This seems like a similar concept to putting thin mints in the freezer, but unlike your chocolate, frozen thin mints are delicious. I feel like your issue is not with the chocolate but with the filling. Maybe frozen mint just works and frozen peanut butter doesn't.

    I find that cold chocolate is the ideal way to eat it. When it is frozen, it is too hard to bite but when it is cold, it is refreshing and does not make it rock hard. If you try refrigerating it let me know how you like it!

Ben Nikpour - Week 10: Oscar Viewers are Dropping

Image
     Before a few days ago, I did not know much about the Oscars. I knew it was an award show, but besides that, I was basically clueless. It wasn’t until the Will Smith and Chris Rock situation that I spent the time to look into what the Oscars are.       For some background, the Oscars, properly known as the Academy Awards, are awarded to artists in the film industry. The first show was in May of 1929. At its peak, in 1998, the Oscars brought in over 55 million viewers; that same year was the release of one of the biggest movies of all time: Titanic. Since then, viewers have been dropping. In 2020, the Oscars had their lowest amount of viewers with only 24 million people watching the event. In 2021, the Oscars broke their 2020 record of lowest viewers by only bringing in less than 11 million people. This year the Oscars brought in close to 17 million viewers which is an improvement but not by much. Award shows like the Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes, ...

Noah Bard Week 1 - The Misunderstanding of our Modern-Day Gladiators

   When I hear the word gladiator, I Immediately think of the Colosseum and humans being eaten by lions. However, times have changed, and so has the term gladiator. I’m talking about the sport of MMA, and more specifically, UFC fighters. Besides the few million crazed fight fans out there like myself, the current consensus about MMA is that it’s stupid. At face value, it’s a very sensible conclusion to make. Why in the world would anybody want to risk their lives on national television, or in that case at all? Well, here’s why.      Every day before that bell rings, these men and women are mastering the art of fighting. It takes much more than just supernatural athleticism; it ultimately comes down to the fighter's mental fortitude. Every slight move in the eyes, feet, and hands of your opponent must be taken into account to win. It’s a common stereotype to think that fighters aren’t very smart and not only because of what they do for a living, but oftentimes it...

Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport

  Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport      Don’t ya hate going to the airport?       I absolutely can not stand going to the airport. As I’m sure most of you know, I am very organized and like to plan out everything. When things don’t go according to the plan, it stresses me out.       Thursday morning, I assumed I would have an easy experience flying from PBI to JFK on JetBlue airlines. Little did I know, there would be many little bumps along the way that I had to deal with while trying to catch my flight.       First, we arrive at the airport at around 10:30 for our 11:45 flight. I personally believe that you should always give yourself enough time at the airport, so you don’t have to rush at the gate or if you want to make a purchase. We also had to face the challenge of finding somewhere to park, which is nearly impossible sometimes. After searching for a while, we found...
