Good afternoon!
OK, so here's the past week - yes, I'm behind again....
Wednesday and Thursday morning were fantastic. Thursday afternoon, I had a talk with my boss - which resulted in me taking the next two weeks off and then going back to being a regular student employee instead of a student supervisor. I know I made the right decision, but my bank account is going to be wincing at my lower paychecks...
Friday, I kept to my promise of not going over to the boys' place - in fact, I tried to get together a group to go to laser tag. It ended up being just me and Tony, so we went to Wegmans, bought some sushi, went back to my place, and watched music videos.
And yes, I ate some raw fish - can't say I felt too peachy afterwards, though.... (1st time not being vegan in the new year!)
Saturday, I went to the market with Laura, and we bought a ton of squash! Then, we went over to her place and made 3-squash soup (kinda a mix of 2-3 recipes and whatever we felt like adding) while dancing in the kitchen and drinking Christmas tea. I definitely needed that, and I still have some of that soup in the fridge (needs to be eaten...).
Sunday, I went to church (feeling guilty that I didn't go last week), and then I got some work done. Around 2:30 PM, I headed towards the auditorium on campus. You see, I used to be a member of the RIT Singers, but then I dropped it after the director changed a year ago and informed me that I wasn't allowed to try out for the solo since I was going to miss two practices.
But I went to the concert on Sunday and watched them perform - kinda surprised at how many people I still knew who were involved. Then I went out for coffee to catch up with my 'best Singers' friend and her boyfriend. She's doing well, and if anyone reading this remembers 'E' with curly blonde hair - that's who I'm talking about!
The rest of the week has been pretty dull - and I've been sleeping and doing homework a lot. Since I don't have to get up at 5:30 AM for work any more, I've been sleeping a little later and then getting up at 7am instead. I'm much more productive in the morning than at night, and I'm more likely to get ahead on my work now than before.
I guess saving something for the night before isn't so bad if you've worked on it the morning before the night before.
I went onto Joanna's blog and dug up this old recipe that she suggested. I went and veganized it for Tuesday night - when Margie and I were in a major Chocolate Therapy fix.

As for that - if you've heard anything about what is up with Margie, don't post it so anyone can read it. Honestly, guys, it's her problem (and maybe mine), but it shouldn't be the latest hot gossip. I don't care if you are taking her side or whatever, but it's not something that should be brought up ever again - even if she does get in the mood to talk about it.
And right now, she'd probably kill you for mentioning it - even if you took her side.
And Joanna, that cake was fast, cheap, and filling like you wouldn't believe! Not as decadent as I've had before, but still something worthwhile!
Unless you happen to be terrified of microwaves.
I'm glad you liked it!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely not my favorite cake, but it is a killer chocolate fix.
