A tipster reported that right now at the Barnard's Activities Fair, amidst clubs and I HEART BC shirts galore, cotton candy is being given out to strong, beautiful women (and probably strong, hungry men.)

It only lasts until 3pm, so hurry up and get your spun-sugar treats.

Welcome back to Cooking with Bwog! After a learning sabbatical, Cooking has returned with a whole slew of new ideas to make your culinary experience at Columbia cheap, healthy, easy and/or really cute! This week, tasty and weird Valentine's Day gifts that are not bacon chocolate chip cookies. Also, if you're not in the mood for sweets this Valentine's, check out last year's recipes.

French Toast for the Morning After

1 loaf bread, sliced (Bwog recommends challah from Silver Moon)
6 eggs
½ cup whipping cream, unwhipped
Sprinkle of cinnamon
Sprinkle of nutmeg
1 orange, with 1 tsp. of the skin shredded (zest), then cut and juiced.

Supplies: veggie oil, pan, bowl

Crack eggs into a bowl and add the cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, orange juice and orange zest. Make sure it's all evenly mixed. Then heat the pan on medium heat on the burner and add a tablespoon of oil. When the pan is hot, immerse a slice of bread in the egg mix and then toss it into the pan to cook. Turn as needed, the toast should look slightly browned. Serve hot with caramel, jam, syrup, peanut butter, or anything else you like.

Whipped cream, twinkies and chocolate chip cookies after the jump.
