Easter

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

I made Easter bunny pancakes for breakfast. Cute and tasty. I got the idea from an easter bunny cake that my mom used to make when I was little. I don’t know if it is traditional for the easter bunny to have a bow tie, but it comes from having left over cake (or pancake) from making the ears and not wanting any to go to waste.

Moved In Pictures

Wednesday, July 5th, 2006

I took some more pictures now that we’ve actually moved most things in. We still haven’t hung anything on the walls, but other than that things are pretty much set. I’m particularly liking the bamboo plant and cedar screen that we put in the eating area.

Disjointed Thoughts

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

I turned in the keys to my old apartment yesterday; it was a bit sad. Yeah, I have a shiny new place (which I like very much) but the other place was my home too. It was much moreso than moving out of a dorm room; a dorm room feels temporary, whereas an apartment really doesn’t (even when I know it is quite temporary). If that makes any sense.

I don’t really have enough work to fill up the next two days this week until my professor gets back from his vacation in Italy, but I shall just way over-edit the project I’m currently working on and not feel bad about spending time on the internet at work.

Moving In

Monday, June 26th, 2006

We’re mostly moved in to the new apartment. All the furniture is in the proper places, and most of the kitchen is stocked and organized. There are, however, boxes all over the place still and, most annoyingly, no internet for the foreseeable future. Verizon is having some issues switching my DSL over to the new place and, although I can see a few wireless networks, I can’t actually connect to any of them. I was counting on being able to mooch internet during the transition, so that’s a bit of a setback. Anyway, I still have internet at work, where I am right now, so I should be able to last for awhile.

New Apartment

Saturday, June 17th, 2006

Becca and I signed a lease on an apartment this week and are planning on moving in next weekend. I went by today to take some pictures and do a walk through of the place to make sure everything works. Most of my comments are attached to individual pictures, so take a look. We’re both quite excited about it, particularly with the patio.

A FIshy Craving

Sunday, May 14th, 2006

I had a sudden desire to make fish today. Never mind that I had chicken in the fridge that I’d planned to make into chicken marsala today. I wanted fish, and nothing else was going to cut it. I also had a desire to do something more interesting than just the usual baked filet of whatever, so I went to the market with an open mind. There I saw for the first time small whole trout that the fish guy had already cleaned and boned. Coming home I scanned around online to find a recipe for stuffed trout, preferably with mushrooms, but I didn’t find any that looked exactly like what I was looking for,
