It is the busy time in the semester. However it doesn't seem as busy as normal, probably because I don't have garments to do and boards or art projects to construct. It's still warm here, I can still wonder the streets in town in my flip-flops. :)
I've also decided that I really like cooking and can't wait to have my own kitchen. I've made dinner for other people twice recently, once for the guys (Aaron, Paul, and Cheese) and once for Aaron and his girlfriend (Lucy). For the guys I made pasta, with spicy tomato sauce and cheese, steam heated some veggies, made some toast and cut up a baguette and melted cheese on top of it. Then for desert we had the left over cake that I made for Megan's Birthday when she was here and some cookie dough ice cream.
For Aaron and Lucy I made spicy Mexican fajitas. Aaron and I got 4 chicken breasts, 2 green peppers, 2 red peppers, 1 yellow pepper and 2 white onions as well as salsa and a packet of spices/tortillas. Aaron cut up the chicken while I cut up the peppers and onions, then I threw as much of it as would fit into my frying pan with a little olive oil and cooked it until everything tasted done. We had some left over peppers and onions, in the future probably 1 onion, 1 red and 1 green pepper would have been about perfect. It was good though, I am going to have to make these when I get home. :)
I did use some of the extra veggies and onions last night, I made pasta, and sauteed some of the peppers and onions with a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper. It was also good. :)
Unfortunately I keep burning myself when I cook, I've burned the my right hand a couple times on my fingers on either the frying pan or the toaster and today when I made grill cheese I burned my lip and one of my fingers on the cheese. :( Ah well... everything I've cooked thus far has turned out ok so that's always a plus. :) I also have gotten really good at scrambled eggs. I should try different things, expand my knowledge and I'm sure I will be making dinner for the guys at least once or twice more.
I'm thinking and I mentioned it to Aaron and Cheese that the guys and I should take a picnic (as in pack a picnic) and go out to Herne Bay in early december. :P It might be cold but it would also be nice to see it... lol.
Also I was thinking of making homemade chicken noodle soup at some point. But along those lines, maybe if it gets cold we could have a soup and grill cheese night. :)
But before I go planning too many dinner parties and social engagements (speaking of which at some point the guys and I are going to see Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas, Rocky Horror Picture Show, and the New Christmas Carol Movie that comes out November 5th) But as I was saying before I go planning too much I need to get this work load done. This weekend: I have 7 entries in my reflective log to do, 6 papers to work on, 4 articles to read, some drawing to accomplish and some movies to see. :)
So I think that is all for now I should definitely get back to work. (It's so hard to get motivated these days)
On completely unrelated note I did purchase from a street vendor a nice blue and silver belt today. :)
Also, Also on a further unrelated note... I had an amazing dream last night and even though I was woken up at 8am this morning I just went right back to sleep and back to the dream again. And it seemed so real if only it were possible. sigh...
Alas now I must insist that I do some work...
