things have changed for me since i last bahloggged. i have discontinued my employment and begun classes at the art institute of san diego. i'm drawing, what? and it's not that bad! hoping to combine my graphic design skillz with my wells degree and just get a super delightful job.
also, we have mice. they are driving me nuts so the other day i did about THE most adult thing i've ever done in my life and bought mouse traps. i bought the kind that's a box and you don't have to see the thing--literally just pick it up and throw it away. i still haven't gotten the guts to put them out because if there's one thing that freaks me out more than mice, it's dead mice. cheers to mice...........NOT.
went up to san pedro this weekend for the tall ships festival. it was delightful. saw my sweet sweet friend anna. and so many tall ships! i went aboard the USCGC Eagle, the coast guard's big ass sail butt. it was so sweet. they have three steerin' wheels!! connected! because not just one person can steer at a time! that's...a..big..boat. waa waa wee wah!
as you know, i've really started loving me some cooking! last night i made a delightful set of concoctions...
fresh bean salad (grandmother status):
garbanzo beans, kidney beans, thin red onions, grape tomatoes, artichoke hearts, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, olive oil, balsamic & apple cider vinegar (twas hoping for red wine vinegar but we were out)
pasta "amandavera":
homemade spaghetti! and essentially a stew of grape tomatoes, eggplant, asparagus, and mushrooms with warm goat cheese and toasted pine nuts finished with fresh parm cheese.
baked acorn squash:
acorn squash quarters, with a wee butter, cinnamon and brown sugar
aaaaaaaaannnddd MILK!
twas good, if i do say so myself.
last: free obama button, if you want it!
