No plans for tonight? Well the BYU Natural Resource Law Society
invites you to come out and go cross-country skiing or snowshoeing
tonight!

Meet us here behind the law school at 8:30 pm to carpool up. We will
be going to Telephone Hollow Trail just south of Heber City and be out

under the moonlight. The trail is only a 2.5 mile long BEGINNER track

with some moderate slopes. We plan to have a lot of fun and be done by

midnight or so. We hope you can make it.

Please note: You will need your own skis or snowshoes which can be
rented at BYU Outdoors Unlimited right across the street in the
Wilkinson Center (skis: $10 and snowshoes: $9).

1L Activity

We had a 1L activity on Thursday night. It was fun to meet new people and get to know each other better. Included in the activity was a recipe exchange. Here are a few of the great recipes that were brought.

Pork Egg Rolls

DeAnn Mehr

This is a basic egg roll recipe and there are lots of things that you can add to it or change around - whole baby corn, finely sliced; bean sprouts; slivers of green beans or red bell peppers; 1 tsp toasted sesame oil. I sometimes make the above and do not add any pork so delicious.

Shred cabbage and carrots like you would grate cheese. The amount will depend on how many egg rolls that you want to make, but the proportions are probably 3:1, cabbage to carrots. For my family of 5, I probably use half a head of cabbage and maybe 3 carrots. Put this in a bowl.

Slice some green onions, white and green parts, and add to the cabbage/carrot mixture.

Add soem uncooked ground pork (6 oz or so). If working with uncooked meat freaks you out, you can cook it first, you may lose some flavor.

Add a significant amount of garlic salt and pepper. Mix all ingredients together, put on an egg roll wrapper and follow the rolling directions that are on the egg roll package. Fry in oil until they are golden brown. Enjoy!

Add flour mixture and mix just until incorporated. Add chocolate chips and hazelnuts. Drop tablespoons of dough 2 inches apart onto parchment lined baking sheets. Bake for about 8 minutes until the edges look set. Cool on baking sheet for 1 minutes then carefully remove to cooling racks.

Something to do

Every Friday at 1pm the Barnes and Noble in Orem has a story time. They usually do some sort of craft after too. Check out the schedule of books here.

Sarah Banks - Scentsy

I sell Scentsy and will be having another open house here at my house in March when all of the new spring and summer scents come out. However, Feb is a great time to host a party because everything goes 10% off! Anyone who books a party for Feb, will get an extra hostess gift on top of all of the free stuff they would receive. Or you can just e-mail me at sarahbanks930@hotmail.com to place an individual order that can be shipped directly to you. Scentsy smells so good, and is wickless and safe to use. The wax never gets hot enough to burn anyone if it gets spilled. I promise this product will not disappoint!

Do You Have a Business?

I would like to get posts up for all the law partners that have a business. If you sell something (candles, makeup, jewelry) or offer any services (photography, hair cutting, schooling), please email me at justinaselim(at)gmail(dot)com with what you would like posted and I will get it posted right away. I think it will be nice for other law partners to know what everyone does!

Barrister's Ball

Dear 3L Class,
The annual law school Barrister's Ball is coming up on March 25th
(Thursday evening). The planning stages have already commenced.
However, we would like your input. For those of you who attended last
year, the Barrister's Ball was held at the Provo Academy Library
upstairs in the ballroom. First there was a catered dinner, followed by
an awards ceremony where many presentations were made, then they cleared
off the tables and someone gave ballroom dance instruction to the whole
group (for those who wanted to participate), with time to practice and
learn, then they turned down the lights, and a DJ provided music for the
last hour or so for those who wanted to stick around and shake their
groove-thang. Some people attended the dinner only, and opted out of the
dancing, some people showed up just for the dancing and not the dinner.
This year, as we are planning, we would like to hear your feedback from
last year, and any thoughts for this year. This event focuses on the
entire law school, but we want to make it particularly important for the
3L class, so we would love to have your input. What kind of
entertainment do we want after the Ball? DJ? Dance instruction? Do we
want any other entertainment before the dinner (e.g., jazz musicians
playing) or after the awards are distributed? We have a separate room
at the Provo Library where we can put up pictures and memories of the
past three years . . . how do we want to use this room?
If you have any thoughts or ideas, please share them with Doug Farr
(dpf7@byulaw.net) or your 3L reps: Melinda Bowen (mwayas@byulaw.net)
and Glen Thomas (grt4@byulaw.net).
Thanks!
Melinda and Gleno9
