Wait. What?
I thought I read somewhere that she had said it WASN’T Nagini. Is this legit?

District 11’s Crescent Moon Roll with Sesame Seeds
“District 11 specializes in agriculture and, even though the harsh Peacekeepers don’t allow their citizens much time to garden on their own, their bread is representative of their District’s culture. The sesame seeds that coat this crescent moon-shaped bread showcase the reaping and sowing of District 11’s main crop.”Rue and Katniss’s Apple-Smoked Groosling
“Katniss describes groosling as appearing similar to a small wild turkey. Thus, while we have no such animal, we can cook turkey in a way similar to Rue and Katniss’s after they form their alliance. This turkey, well smoked over a fire, won’t be quite as fatty as the groosling, but it will be just as delicious.”Capitol-Grade Dark Chocolate Cake
“The feast served during Katniss’s first night away from her family ends with a decadent chocolate cake. Amidst the depression of facing almost-certain death (not to mention Haymitch’s dispiriting drunkenness!), this sweet ending perhaps makes Katniss realize that things aren’t as bad as they may seem.”Mixed Messages Mixed Berry Jam
“Though Peeta doesn’t realize it, Katniss secretly mixes sleep syrup into a simpler version of this mixed berry jam so she can go to the dangerous feast and collect the medicine for his leg. That she mixes the sleep serum with berries foreshadows her and Peeta’s deception with the poisonous berries at the end of the Hunger Games.”Prim’s Basil-Wrapped Goat Cheese Balls
“One of the very first mentions of food in The Hunger Games trilogy comes in the form of a gift from Prim. On Reaping Day, Prim presents her beloved big sister with a gift—goat cheese wrapped in basil leaves. Historically, goats represent sacrifice and giving, and when Prim gives Katniss this goat cheese she foreshadows the many sacrifices the Everdeen family will be forced to make when Katniss volunteers to take Prims place in the Hunger Games.”GIMME GIMME GIMME
Need those basil-wrapped goat cheese balls in and around my mouth. Please and thank you.

Tonight (Thursday March 15), Iowa State’s men’s basketball team will play in the first round of the NCAA tournament. It’s ISU’s first appearance since 2006, and I could not be more thrilled for this team. Last year, we were pretty darn awful, finishing out the season at the bottom of the Big 12 Conference. But our transfers finally got to dress for competition this year, and this new and improved team has been so fun to watch. I couldn’t be more proud to be a Cyclone myself.
Tonight, we take on the defending national champions, the UCONN Huskies. Lots of Cyclone fans were disgruntled with our seed in the tournament, but we’ve been known to rise to challenges and bring some rocking upsets this season. I think that my school is the underdog in a lot of peoples’ eyes, and personally, I always root for the underdog (Biased? Most definitely!). I have faith in my boys. And I say that they’re my boys because of Cyclone Nation’s sense of community. Ames is truly a great place for college sports.
And, of course, I’ll be pulling for ISU for another reason - my undying love for The Mayor, head coach Fred Hoiberg. When you think of Ames, Iowa, you think of this guy. I love his tight-knit connection to this town. And, c’mon - look at that smile.
Go State!
Luv Fred Hoiberg. During the VEISHEA parade last year I told him that he was hot and he threw extra candy at me.
