2005-03-01, 07:59 AM — countdown
It's the first day of March.
This means I have exactly one month left to finish my thesis, and thus be done school. Well, I have two papers beyond that, but hopefully they'll be done too.
This also means that I have exactly one month and a half before I become, for the first time, someone who has seen and spent time on a different continent.
Two months until I move back in with fishy, completing one full year of not living with him.
Two and a half months until invitations go out.
Three months until I can harvest my very first crops from my very own garden.
And six months and three weeks until the big fancy wedding day.
2005-02-22, 07:42 PM — report: grilled chicken ceasar
Report on my attempt to create a grilled chicken ceasar salad:
Real bacon for bacon bits: two thumbs up
Grilling chicken with Diana sauce in George Foreman Grill: half a thumb up (issues with overcooking)
Red onions included: no thumbs up (surplus issue)
Red peppers included: two thumbs up
Kraft Creamy Ceasar dressing: two thumbs up (mostly because it was better than I expected it to be)
Kitchen mess to clean up now: two thumbs waaaaay down
Experiment: a qualified success.
Note to self: try not to spray bacon grease ALL over the stove next time bacon is frying.

Ugh. I just ate, like, half a sticky toffee pudding for breakfast. I would like to congratulate President's Choice on their excellent sticky toffee pudding, but I would like to add a warning: do not eat the sticky toffee pudding for breakfast. Especially if there is lots of it.
I really don't know what else is appropriate to write here, other than "groan" and "blahg," basically the only noises I feel like making.
