Banana’s for Banana Bread
I love things that start with the letter B. How could I not? It’s just natural for me. But I also love anything that involves bananas (which just happens to also start with the letter B). They have such a distinct, yet subtle flavor that enhances so many different dishes, making your taste buds dance with joy, never wanting the banana party to stop. Historically, especially for good old America, the best way to use a banana is to make it into a bread. And what’s wonderful about this so called banana bread? It comes in so many different, delectable varieties. Some...

“We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey.” -John Hope Franklin “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.

I never thought I’d get the chance to say that I WORKED at an official TEDxCopenhagen event. But yesterday, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity and honor to do so. I’m in this class called “Creative Industries” that explores the role of creativity in the experience economy. How can we generate a memorable experience for consumers? How does Starbucks make a simple place to buy coffee into a place where people want to hang out with friends, listen to music, and linger in the smell of freshly brewed beans? Anyway, that’s what we discuss in...

Class ended around 11:30 am yesterday, and I had time to kill until my final class at 3:30 pm. I decided to wander to the “Black Diamond” (also known as the Royal Library). On my way there, it began to rain, and of course I wasn’t prepared and was left without a raincoat or umbrella. (As a side note, I should probably always have some sort of rain gear with me at all times while in Denmark….you just never know when it might rain!) To avoid getting completely soaked, I took an alternative route through the vast hallways skirting the Christiansborg Palace. The...
