Wednesday

I work nursery tonight.  Dustin is sick today.  So we are both sitting here doing homework/resting.

We have three cats, Jaspur, Mahllea, and Bella.  Jaspur used to get on the fridge all the time.  Somehow, Mahllea got on the fridge today, regardless of the dishes on the counter.  We have no idea how she got up there or how long she was there (it was sometime within the last hour), but she just suddenly starts meowing for help to get down.  It was weird.  Anyways, I'm too short, so Dustin went and got her down.

I am trying to think of something awesome to cook for lunch.  We are all out of eggs and they sound so good.  I will have to search around the pantry for something.

Sorry this is such a boring post.  I don't have enough time right now to put up a recipe or picture, but I will sometime!

Long Wonderful Weekend

This weekend was amazing.  Dustin was off work on Friday, and neither of us had school yesterday, so it was a four day weekend.  Dustin and I spent lots of time together, which we really needed.  It is so hard during the week to never get to spend time together.  I hate it.  For Valentines day, Dustin woke me up with breakfast in bed, except the plate, bowl, and cup were all empty.  This is because I hate eating breakfast when I first wake up.  He drew me a menu with food that he could cook and the cost was hugs and kisses, a certain amount for each, except the waffles were $100.  :-)  We actually ended up going out for breakfast/lunch at The Egg Factory.  I highly recommend the country garden omelet topped with hollandaise.  I think that's what it was called.  It was SO good.  Then, Dustin and I came home and put in a movie.  Dustin cooked us these potato halves with chive and onion cream cheese sour cream things.  There were amazing!  The main dinner was fondue.  We had broccoli, cauliflower, apples, pears, and bread to dip with.  I meant to make a cake on Valentines day, but it was SO late by the time I could make it.  So I ended up making the cake yesterday.  It is almost like a molten cake, but it's not really.  It was a two layer chocolate cake with a chocolate glaze, drizzled with peanut butter and caramel sauce.  Pictures to come!

I have school today.  I was sick last Wednesday and Thursday, so I missed school on Thursday.  My Math class was canceled, so I really only missed one class.  I hope every thing will be okay!

XOXO

Sick

Well, I woke up this morning at 4:30AM sick to my stomach.  Needless to say, I got sick.  It's not a cold, but my throat does hurt now, from being sick.  So, I'm debating whether I should work the nursery tonight or not.  I'm exhausted and my entire body is tired.

We ended up going to Mai Tai last night.  I don't want to get into food descriptions as it makes me nauseated, so I'll write on that later.

On a happier note, on Monday night, I got the new Scentsy scents!  I love them all!  I will write later on what my favorites are.  Going back to bed now.

Tuesday

Well, I'm all ready for school today.  I don't feel well this morning, so I'm not eating, but I know I'll regret it later if I don't.  I'm exhausted and feel a cold coming.  Yuck.  Let's hope it's not really, so I FEEL GREAT..... yeah right.  School from 12-3 today.  Dustin's Mom, or my mother-in-law, is in town this week, so we are meeting her for dinner after classes.  We are either going to Tucano's or to a vegetarian restaurant.  It's up to Dustin, so I'll find out later.  Either one is fine with me.  I was up late last night reading for my class today.  I still didn't finish.  I still need to read 50+ pages to catch up.

I'm going to go grab some food and throw it in my bag in case I get hungry later.

XOXO

Scentsy

Okay, so I woke up this morning and realized that THE NEW CATALOG is available for me to see in my Scentsy workstation today.  I looked at it and I love SO much in it!  The scents sound like they are going to be amazing and the warmers are so neat too!  Not to mention that I should be getting the new scent testers in the mail today!  They have new packaging too.  I really love Scentsy.  They have so many neat new things.  I know so many people that make a living just off selling Scentsy.  I hope to be there one day.  It may require moving though, since Scentsy is so saturated on the West coast.  Maybe to.... Florida?  or..... Pennsylvania???  :-)  I'm just kidding, Dustin.  Plan for today: homework and class until 9PM.

Have a great day!

Super Bowl Sunday

Yesterday, Dustin and I ran some errands.  He needed new work clothes, so we went out looking.  We won 6 free cookies from RC Wiley.

Dinner at my Mom's was delicious.  We had blintzes with berry compote.  Blintzes are crepes stuffed with a creamy filling.

Dustin and I then went to Footloose by the Starlight Mountain Theatre.  It was very cute.  There is one part where the main guy is "screaming" at the train because he's mad at his father for leaving him and his mom. During this part, a little kid started laughing.  Then the main guy screamed, "I hate you," because it was his line, but the kid started laughing even louder.  It was SO funny.

I guess it's Super Bowl Sunday.  We don't have cable, so we won't be watching it.  Dustin and I canceled cable over a year ago, to spend time together.  We found the tv dictating what we would do together, because we needed to watch shows on the DVR so it would record the ones we really wanted to see.  Without cable, we talk more, spend time together more, and actually do our homework.

I have made a few things to post on here like the soup recipe layout.
So, soon to come:
Macaroni and Cheese
Eggs Benedict

Have a great day everyone!  What are your super bowl plans?

Soup

So, a few months ago, in the summer actually, I made this soup for my old blog.  I am putting it on here now.  I don't remember what it's called, but it was good!

To begin, you need two leeks, 2 stalks of celery, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Put some olive oil in a pan with some pepper, salt, and garlic.  Let this saute' for a  minute or so.

Next, chop off the ends of the leeks.  Then chop it up into pieces and put into your pan.

Do the same with the celery and about 1/4 of a white or yellow onion.  Saute' until tender.

While the vegetables are slowly sauteing, start working on the green beans.  Buy fresh green beans and snap off the ends.

Snap the beans into smaller pieces and put them in your colander.

Go check on your vegetables, and they may have shrunk an incredible amount.

Next, add vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.

Once simmering, add small shell pasta.  As much or as little as you want.

After you add the pasta, go back to your green beans.  Finish snapping them and rinse them.

Once pasta is almost tender, add the green beans.

Next, add Oregano.

Let it cook until the pasta has absorbed a good amount of the liquid.  This may have happened earlier, so don't worry!

Serve with freshly grated parmesan or romano cheese.
