( I has flowers! )
Oh my gosh it was so hot toady. Apparently 97F in SLO, so roughly 87F where my house actually is right now, maybe more. I was in both areas and thought I was gonna melt. And it figures that there's no milk, (good) soda, juice, or even drinkable water in the house (the tap has stuff coming out of it so I don't think I wanna drink that). Matt says he's gonna buy some soon, so let's hope cuz I'm DYING of thirst.
And now, Imma take a good, long, cool shower. I have many much dirts under my nails and am quite sweaty from hauling dirt around (Oh! Oh! And I am proud to say I only panicked a LITTLE when I discovered a big ole black, red-butted spider on my arm while I was working my dirt. I didn't even scream. Just gasped really loudly while my eyes bugged out XD)Current Mood: Content but thirsty |

I feel like I've been up to a lot, yet really I haven't been. But I HAVE been cooking, and have experienced moderate success!
( Cooking exploits )
And over Easter, I did THIS (at 11:30pm cuz I totally forgot >.>): ( I love food dye )
I also bought a tomato plant on the whim. ( See? It's a tomato plant )
However, I made a mistake in buying that plant, cuz now...I want to garden. I partially blame ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) a_hollow_year since she's been on a gardening kick, but really this happens from time to time; I suddenly get an urge and desire to be surrounded by plants. The last time this happened I was in the dorms, and the time before that was early high school, I believe. Sadly, I would have to keep things in pots for now though, due to the potential moving.
But I am in luck! As the previous tenants here left behind some goodies! ( Big ole terra cotta pots! And a question that's mostly for Mel but anyone can answer :3 )
I also intend to plant some carrots and lettuce and maybe a few other pottable veggies, and maybe buy a Robertson Orange Tree, which is also able to be kept in a pot. The orange tree may have to wait though, as it tends to be about $30, and I'm not sure I should spend that just now. But we'll see. That may be too much work for me at the moment XD (I have a big green watering can that I intend to put glitter on. Because glitter is AWESOME, that's why!) I thought about starting a compost too, but really I have nowhere to put it where Spud wouldn't eat it/lie in it/dig in it, can't afford a fancy bin or the materials to build one and the guys wouldn't really be on board with it. Ah well.
And now, I should do my nutrition report. It's on the Andean Cat (google for more pics of OMFG CUTE!). I pretty much get to guess on its requirements. Yay!Current Mood:  creative |

psychosnake brought a plague unto our house. *blows nose* I suppose it could be worse though. I held out longer than the others before succumbing to it, and seem to be recovering faster, but still. My nose is all raw now! And as much as I love Nyquil for allowing me to sleep when I'm sick (which is always an issue), I hate it cuz it makes my head funky for most of the day after taking it the night before. It feels like someone injected my skull with thick goo for it to swim and float around in.
So! I made my first voyage into the world of cooking. My target was this Kale and Olive Oil Mashed Potato Recipe that loonylupinlover gave me. It was time consuming and I have learned to dice, mince and chop things BEFORE I start boiling other things instead of assuming that I'll have time to do it while whatever is actually cooking cooks, especially when you discover that your knives are apparently as sharp as blankets. But! It was actually good, especially considering it was ME that made it :O
Now, it wouldn't be me cooking if something didn't go really wrong though. You see, I thought that a clove of garlic was the whole bulb, when in actuality a clove is the little pieces inside the bulb. This is something I didn't learn until AFTER I made the potatoes. So I might have added three heads of garlic to the recipe ^^; Oops. But! The super garlicy-ness worked in my favor, since it turns out garlic is also a good treatment for sore throats, which I had. So I basically made myself a potatoey medicine! Yay! I also learned that scallions are the same things as green onions after running around the supermarket for an hour trying to find the darn things XD
Next time I'm in town I intend to pick up the cookbook golden_meliades recommended, but now I'm starting to think I should also look into Cooking for Dummies or something. Seriously. I don't even know what "quartered" means in the Tuscan White Bean Salad, which is the next thing I want to try. I assume it means cut it into fours, but I assumed a clove of garlic was the head, so...yeah. I shouldn't assume things XD
I've also been playing World of Warcraft. I have a Blood Elf Warlock up to level 39. Having a mount makes the game worlds better as I no longer have to take half-an-hour to get from quest to quest, though sometimes the game can still seem overly tedious. But! I usually only play when Matt can get on his 38 Troll Rogue and play with me, as having someone to gallivant around with makes things much more bearable. Now the challenge is to see if I can stick with it long enough to make it to 80. We shall see.
Not much else goin' on today though. It's amazing how lost I am when school's out. I never know what to do! I suppose I should go take a nap for now and sleep off a lil more sickness, but what to do after that? *thinks*Current Mood: amused |
