Pappleberry pie for a hot summer's day

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer despite the lack of lectures.

I sure am. To celebrate such a lovely summer day, I made a pappleberry pie.

Yes! pappleberry pie! If you are a lame person who does not appreciate the art of portmanteau-ed fruit products, you may call it pineapple and strawberry pie. Do not be lame.

dear quynh,

we finally bought helmets!

hope you're proud :)

Paradise Found

Attention shoppers & pluot lovers, Seward Co-op has made my day delicious. Go get your pluots now!!! Can't wait for more varieties to pop up all around town!

breaking up is hard to do

It's been weeks since Commencement - the U and I are clearly through. The University of Minnesota has clearly moved on; she's already found another 15,000 students and has likely forgotten my student ID number altogether. Now she just sends me letters demanding her stuff back. Well, University, I'll go ahead and say it: I still love you! You and your dreamboats are breaking my heart.

I loved college. All the way from registration to textbooks to the feeling after sliding a possibly disastrous final paper under my professor's door. I loved it all. Through college I have learned more than I ever could have learned on my own. And I've come out of it only more excited to keep learning. I am endlessly thankful for the opportunities to work with such amazing professors and I know that my life is better for it. College is the best decision I have made for myself. It's been painful and wonderful and I'm so glad for every day of my college experience. I will miss it so much!

Even more than college, I am going to miss my co-CEO. In the last two years, we have suffered and giggled and been embarrassed together almost everyday (embarrassed together, damnit!). We remedied painful classroom experiences with cupcakes, and discussed our love for school over wonderful lunches. Needless to say, I likely wouldn't have survived college life without her. Quynh has left Minneapolis to hook up with a much hairier and smellier Seattle. I'm very happy for her and sure she will find friends and fruits everywhere.

Quynh, I love you.

we blame BP

MISSING

"Pluots"

IT IS WELL INTO PLUOT SEASON -- WHERE ARE ALL THE PLUOTS? THE INTELLECTUAL DREAMBOAT FAN GIRLZ HAVE BEEN SEARCHING ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOR OUR PLUOTS AND THEY ARE NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. WE NEED PLUOTS. WE NEED THEM RIGHT NOW. YOU NEED THEM TOO! PLEASE HELP US LOOK.

REWARD: you get to eat Pluots! why isn't there more hysteria?

Congrats Co-CEO!

CEOS definitely have something to smile about-being graduates!!!

Kelly-

the last three years of college have been awesome. I'm so happy we took the following classes together: 1950s, global societies, central american revolutions, art lectures, legal feminist theory, african diaspora, how to do history, and latin american history.

here's a top ten list of things i'd like to say to you:

1. blog life. this blog has been awesome. although we will not officially be enrolled in school, it shall continue. and let's get the phrase "blog life" tattooed on our knuckles at age 40.

2. bananas. bananas. bananas.

3. the duel. the fact that somebody calls us that means something.

4. fruit cup. that was a really embarrassing moment for you.

5. cupcakes. they made a great substitute for vicodin.

6. intellectual dreamboatz.

7. cheese curds and frostop root beer on tap. i'd eat this with you anytime. just meet me in seattle. seriously kelly. move to seattle

8. pluot. what an elitist fruit.

9. graduates- remember all the times we wanted to quit school and eat donuts all day?

10. you are embarrassing/embarrassed

let's be school buddies again in 10 years, but for now we will just friends & co-CEOS.

I'm so proud of you!!!

Love, your Co-CEO

Drooling Pearrot

Drooling Pearrot (carrot + parrot+drooling Kelly)

It has been a while since the Intellectual Dreamboat Fruit Company has come out with a new physically altered fruit. We are truly sorry for the delay and the sadness that has caused you. Please keep supporting our business. CEOs/scientists have homework too. We can not always be creative and happy. Sometimes we have to take off our genius-fruitmaking-CEO fedoras and replace those with read-write snow caps. Worry not, Kelly and I will be done with spring semester soon! More fruits to come!!!
