Spring break and so on...

Okay, so last you heard from me, I was finishing up my midterm papers. Still haven't gotten them back, so I don't know exactly how I did, but that's okay, because what's done is done, right? Also, did some cooking during midterms, but I don't have my cookbooks with me (see SB list) so I can't really transcribe the recipes... sorry. I'll catch up on that in a later post.

Anyway, so SPRING BREAK!!!
I'll try to make this quick, because it really isn't all that interesting. In fact... I'll make it a list to keep it short.
  • Got to town on Saturday and met up with lots of friends.
  • Made curry with Kirk and Will after going to Narnia (also known as H Mart, the Asian superstore) and added bok choi to the recipe, which was magnificent
  • Got some tips from the Thai woman at Best Thai at the Preston Royal shopping center on how to make my curry even better (muahaha)
  • Played poker thursday and won (I am so damn awesome!)
  • Left my three favorite cookbooks in Dallas (2 at Kirk's, 1 at Will's)
  • Played lots of beer pong
  • Probably gained about 10lbs
  • Caught up on sleep... and then immediately threw this accomplishment to the wind and haven't gotten much sleep since
  • Got my birthday presents from my parents early: Season pass to Scarborough Faire (as always) and a 1TB external hard drive so I can finally back up and get rid of my old laptops which have been just sitting around taking up room.
So I got back to San Marcos around 1:30AM monday morning and couldn't get to sleep at all due to the SB sleep cycle I got into. Fell asleep around 6AM and had to wake up for school at 10:30AM so I am once again deprived of sleep.

Oh, and I made the green bean casserole again, but I wasn't looking at the recipe and accidentally added 1 cup of milk instead of 1/4 cup of milk. Ooops... In order to ameliorate this problem, I added some mushrooms and crushed garlic so there would be more solid matter. It turned out... OK, but not amazing. Oh, and while writing this paragraph, I just realized I forgot to add pepper too... maybe that's why it turned out so plain. Oh well, better luck next time.

Well, I hope everyone is enjoying themselves and eating well. 'Til next time!

I hate midterms...

Just finished a paper. Test tomorrow. Another paper due by 4pm Friday. Haven't started that one yet. Can't wait for spring break to start. Had Acorn squash with spinach and gorgonzola cheese for dinner. Will post recipe tomorrow. Sleepy time now, goodbye.
