Hat

A few blogs back, I committed to Pay it Forward. I have a year to complete this project, and a year is almost up. So here's what I'm working on for my 5 friends:

This is the first one. Russ calls it my Sprout hat. I hope to get better and send them out soon!

Thanks, 2009

Honest to Blog-I Cooked!

CHOW:

Everyone that knows me knows that I am useless in the kitchen. Well, not true, I'm good at eating in the kitchen.

The problem I have with cooking is I feel stressed to get it done by a certain time, or the amount of time it takes to cook. So... I'd rather not eat at all. I know, bad.

But I took some free time post-finals to try my hand at stirring and measuring. Here is what I made:




What: Carmel-apple Pork Chops (I don't eat chicken).
Review:
Chow: Awesome!
Russ: Tasty.


What: Mushroom and Asparagus Cous-cous with a Pistachio-vinaigrette Sauce

Review:

Chow: Like multiple flavor explosion in your mouth. Tasty.

Russ: Crunchy.

What: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies (Thanks to Stacy for the recipe!)

Review:

Chow: I think I at 25. They were so good!

Russ: Squishy

Then on Sunday, the real chef in the family stepped into the kitchen (Russ)

What: Potato Cheese Soup in Bread Bowls (All HOMEMADE!)

Review:

Chow: Classic greatness. Great comfort food to recover from law school.

Russ: Subtly delectable. But the bowls were a little heavy. The soup was good.

And that's our food from last week!

Last Entry- Night Before Torts

Longest week of my life! TOmorrow is a good day barring some major catastrophe.

I am so grateful for guidance and for faith. For Russ. For the opportunity to be in law school. For good friends and class mates.

Life is beautiful. Even in the face of law school finals. I love it. I hope my hard work over the quarter pays off.

A Note From Today:

The torts final went awesome! I enjoyed it the most. I predict I am part of the curve, not leading the pack. But as long as I pass!

When I got to San Marcos, I didn't see Russ until about 8 pm, because of the shooting at Fort Hood. But it was a sweet reunion after 3 weeks.

It has been a great weekend too! But I will post more about that tomorrow!
