A Reflection

The other day I watched The Girl Next Door, great lustful movie with well placed humor. A snippet I took from it was, firstly, "What's the craziest thing you've done lately?" and "What I remember....(fill in about high school)" And in reflection, something that I remember about high school is my cooking-mate and I when we lived in Dallas, for a week. We went to DECA Internationals there to compete in Business Law and Ethics. In any condition, while being bussed from end to end of the city. My friend got into role playing, as a trendy, euro-trash, techno-loving teen. He was an instant hit with the ladies from the West Coast for some reason. We all ended up going to a dance together and what-not, they figured out his secret. In retrospect, however, that is a week I will always remember.

Spinning

Since I've been working, and don't have the greatest of hours, I can't bike or run outside, as it is dark. Thus I have been spinning and running on our lifecycles. They haven't been used since they were bought two years ago. I will post as the their performance and my exercise experiences.

Cooking

As I said in my last post, I've found a new hobby. Last night my friend and his girlfriend came over. We baked for four hours, that is, until 1am. It was stellar. I made zucchini bread, because there is an overabundance in our garden. My friend made a Greek, spinach appetizer with phyloo dough. That took a long time to make and roll out, but they tasted every so delicious. His girlfriend made fruit tarts. She used fresh raspberries so afterwards eating them was a flavor rush to the taste buds! Until the next time I get ambitious or hungry...

New Found Love

Yesterday, a friend of mine came over and we were looking for something to do. We made French Silk Pie. It was totally random, but I loved it. Making a pastry shell by hand, the pie itself, and eating it. . . As this escapade was unraveling, she suggested to me that I go into culinary arts. Seeing that my major is undeclared, I just might!

Its been awhile

So I haven't posted since the start of summer. Here's the quick update. I've gotten a job at a large resort. . . I push dishes and food around as a banquet porter. Its decent work. I didn't know that I would have to drive a huge (almost semi) truck. That's been a blast, except when the other guy I work with gives us a curb check and breaks dishes. That's just bad news. Until something more exciting. . .
