“Harvard e Yale generalmente si scontrano in ambito accademico, ma la vicinanza geografica, la storia della fondazione di Yale e la competizione sociale tra i rispettivi organi di studenti e alunni anima la rivalità sportiva. […] Il problema è che Harvard è la migliore […] Princeton parla del Big Three … Yale parla di Yale – Harvard, ma tutto ciò di cui si parla ad Harvard è Harvard.”

Queste le parole pronunciate candidamente da uno studente di Harvard prima della gara del 1979, con la quale Harvard rovinò una stagione perfetta per Yale.

La rivalità Harvard-Yale si rinnova ogni anno con The Game, una partita al College di Football americano tra la squadra Harvard Crimson dell’Università di Harvard e la Yale Bulldogs di Yale University. Con The Game si conclude la stagione per entrambi i programmi, di solito il Sabato pomeriggio prima del Ringraziamento.

Tutti abbiamo sentito parlare almeno una volta dell’annuale incontro/scontro fra le squadre di football di Harvard e Yale, abbiamo visto film, seguito il match in tv, fatto anche il tifo forse e qualcuno magari aveva proprio –Andare al The Game– sulla lista delle cose da fare nella vita. Bhe, io ero una di quelle e mai e poi mai avrei creduto che la prima vera esperienza americana per me sarebbe stata il The Game.

Il 19 Novembre 2016, grazie alle magnifiche persone con cui ho il piacere di vivere e di condividere la mia avventura in America ho partecipato alla storica partita Harvard vs Yale.

Sono arrivata a Cambridge in mattinata e subito ho potuto percepire il senso di appartenenza delle persone che mi camminavano accanto. Non era la scena di un film, era la mia vita. C’erano ragazzi e ragazze con maglioncini, felpe e sciarpe con il logo della loro università e non lo fanno per moda, lo fanno perché ci credono; hanno un’ideale e lo seguono.

Ero lì con indosso una maglietta di Harvard regalatami da un’amica qualche anno fa dopo il suo viaggio a Boston. Abbiamo fatto un brunch e l’atmosfera era magnifica, intorno a me gruppi di studenti sorridenti in attesa del Game.

Dopo il brunch ci siamo incamminati verso lo stadio e ho avuto così l’opportunità di ammirare i panorami di Cambridge. Era una bella giornata, fredda, ma con un cielo limpido e azzurro. Più ci avvicinavamo allo stadio e più mi emozionavo, stava per succedere, ero con persone che hanno studiato ad Harvard e di lì a poco avrei assistito alla storica partita Harvard-Yale.

Dopo essere entrati nello stadio e aver trovato i nostri posti io avevo proprio l’espressione di chi non capisce niente di ciò che le sta succedendo intorno; e non parlo dell’inglese, ma bensì dello sport in generale. Per fortuna avevo un gruppo di ex studenti ben informati e ferrati sull’argomento che non si sono risparmiati dal pormi domande sul mio paese e mi hanno spiegato ogni regola del gioco –Look, kid. It’s a simple game!-, nozioni che alla fine della partita ho ovviamente rimosso e continuo a non capire nulla di football americano.

    La partita è stata bella, un’esperienza incredibile; anche se non sai con esattezza per chi vuoi fare il tifo in ogni caso tutte le persone, i colori, i suoni e le immagini ti fanno sentire parte di qualcosa di incredibilmente meraviglioso.

“Harvard and Yale generally duke it out in the academic arena but geographic proximity, the history of Yale’s founding, and social competition between the respective student bodies and alumni contingents animate the athletic rivalry. The problem is that Harvard is the best […] Princeton talks about the Big Three…Yale talks about Yale – Harvard, but all Harvard talks about is Harvard.”

These are the words spoken candidly by a Harvard student before the 1979 race, won by Harvard, ruining a perfect season for Yale football.

The Harvard-Yale rivalry is renewed every year with The Game, a game between the American Football Team Harvard Crimson of Harvard University and Yale Bulldogs of Yale University. The contest concludes the season for both programs, usually on Saturday afternoon before Thanksgiving.

We have all heard at least once about the annual meeting/clash between the football teams of Harvard and Yale, we have seen movies, we atched the match on tv, maybe we cheered and maybe someone jut had –Go to the The Game– on the list of things to do in life. Well, I was one of those and never, ever would have believed that the first real American experience for me would have been The Game. November 19- 2016, thanks to the wonderful people with whom I have the pleasure to live and to share my adventure in America, I attended the historic game Harvard vs. Yale.

We arrived in Cambridge in the morning and right away I could feel the sense of belonging of the people who were walking beside me. It was not a scene from a movie, it was my life. There were boys and girls with sweaters, sweatshirts and scarves with the logo of their universities and they don’t do it for fashion, they do it because they believe in it; they have an ideal and they follow it.

After brunch we walked to the stadium and I had such an opportunity to admire the views of Cambridge. It was a beautiful day, cold, but with a clear blue sky. The closer we got to the stadium the more I was excited, I was there with people who have studied in Harvard and I was going to attend the Harvard-Yale historic game.

After entering the stadium and have found our seats I had just the look of someone who does not understand anything of what is going on around; and I do not speak about English, but rather the sport in general. Luckily I had a group of former students knowledgeable and versed on the sport whom made questions about my country and then they explained to me all the rules of the game –Look, kid. It’s a simple game! -, notions that at the end of the game I obviously removed and I still do not understand anything about football.

The game was beautiful, an incredible experience; even if you do not know exactly for those do you want to cheer, in any case all the people, the colors, the sounds and the images they make you feel part of something incredibly wonderful.

November 2016

THANKSGIVING. I imagine this must be every baker’s favorite holiday. Not only are its staple flavors unbelievably cozy (e.g., cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin), but friends and family are generally more willing to indulge on a sweet treat (or four) around this time of the year.

The weekend before Thanksgiving, I made my way to Boston for the annual Harvard-Yale football game, which alternates between New Haven and Cambridge every year. For the first time in almost a decade, Yale managed to tally a victory -- finally, a 2016 upset we can be happy about.

After The Game (a fitting moniker for the only athletic event the entire Yale community cares to attend on a regular basis), I flew directly from Boston to Indianapolis. To be perfectly frank, I’ve not considered Carmel my home for a long time. The only reason I care to visit during the holidays is to spend time with my parents and catch up with close friends. I’m a big believer that the most important aspect of a home is not the place, but the people.

That said, I’ll always consider Carmel my hometown, and at this point, I strongly associate it with our kitchen -- which feels enormous compared to our tiny, albeit well-furnished, kitchen in Manhattan. My parents grew up in China, where sweets traditionally take a backseat to savory dishes (e.g., General Tso’s chicken, Peking duck). Although she and my dad managed to assimilate in some aspects, my mom never hopped on the dessert train. This meant that when I started baking, we purchased many otherwise basic ingredients and equipment for the very first time: vanilla extract, baking powder, even parchment paper. Kind of wild, right?!

With almost a full week at home, I prepared a variety of goodies throughout my visit, from cinnamon swirl pancakes (not pictured) and pumpkin muffins for breakfast to baked s’mores and pumpkin pie cheesecake for dessert. Despite being the least seasonal of the lot, the s’mores were hands-down the biggest hit, as it features my family’s favorite ingredient: dark chocolate. The best part of this recipe is that it requires only a few basic ingredients and no fancy equipment. The bottom layer is a traditional graham cracker crust (with a nice pinch of salt to cut through all the sugar), which sits under a thick layer of homemade chocolate fudge, a container of marshmallow cream, and a smattering of jumbo marshmallows. The worst part was the wait (true of most desserts ugh). I had to pop this baby into the freezer twice: once after adding the chocolate layer, and again after topping it off with the marshmallows.

Once everything was assembled, I put it in the broiler for a couple minutes, and voila! We had yummy golden s’mores, and I didn’t even have to set up a bonfire. Now that is a victory everyone (even Harvardians) can be happy about.

Remember when we were seeking food at the tailgate and we found ourselves at the vegan students tent and were like 'boy, bye'

Harvard lost. The crowd from Yale went ape shit and stormed the field in celebration. To be fair, it broke a 9 year losing streak. #harvardyale #isportsedtoday (at Harvard Stadium)
