Calvin the BEST ROOMMATE EVER

So earlier tonight my roommate Heather and I began discussing desserts and it came to our attention that we really, really, REALLY wanted cake then we came to brownies and were like "OMG I want brownies!" Sadly we were being super lazy and couldn't be bothered to even leave the couch to go refill our glasses of water. So Heather comes up with the idea of texting Calvin the roommate, who was in his room at the time, to ask him to see if he would go on a quest to to obtain the precious brownies. He comes out and actually says yes! We were both surprised and very VERY happy and declared that he was the BEST ROOMMATE EVER. He was willing to go drive to the market to fulfill our wishes and get our fat asses some brownies after he went to go work out at the gym for like 3 hours. (yeah we didn't change our minds about wanting brownies even in the light of such extreme healthiness and activeness) So we got and gobbled down awesome brownie bites and it was DELICIOUS. I was quite happy and content. yumm

AND I found a recipe for horchata. So I am going to try that out ASAP because horchata is amazing. YAY. ANDDD agua frescas. Jeez I am in Mexican drink heaven right now. IT's amazing

Umm I was gonna write about something else besides food and the roommate adventures. Oh! We were belting out power ballads (the Inglesias and 98 degrees etc) and doing interpretive dance. It's nice just being able to hang out with roommates and not have to worry about the cleanliness or offending their feelings. I think my apartment experience will be much better this quarter.

I had a Mexican inspired casserole today because I still have not gone to the market so I have no fresh produce. haha so it was tortillas layered with black beans, corn, tomatoes and cheese. It was surprisingly delicious and crispy. I will have to remember it for lazy meals later. Seriously though casseroles are total lazy food throw a bunch of things together, mix and throw in an oven for half an hour. Minimal clean up too! I'll have to start taking pictures of what I create but uh that takes effort and at this stage in the blog that is wayyy too advanced. But I'll get there...eventually.

Calvin the roommate brought up an interesting point today. He said that he didn't know people that spent as much time on their computers as me and Heather. But uh, that's what college kids do. Spend time on their computer and do nothing productive. So he's the weird one in my book because all he does on the internet is just watch TV.

Letter writing day will be Thursday! Because I have no class. hurray!

The Start of Something?

Recently it has come to my attention that it is my turn to start a blog. I'm not sure what to do with a blog but I suppose you just figure that out as it goes along? Hopefully it will be interesting and filled with food and laughs with the occasional rant thrown in there every once in awhile. I will have to admit that I am neither Internet nor computer savvy so I can't promise anything visually stunning. But I can promise that it will be random because my moods change often and I can't keep a train of thought for that long anyways. My first thoughts on this whole blogging business would be that its Awkward. Because I don't know who I am speaking to and it feels weird to not be writing an abstract.

I am listening to the Where the Wild Things Are soundtrack and it reminds me that my sister recently told me that she had an intense fear of my stuffed wild thing and would always throw it under the bed or the bottom of the stuffed animal pile. I had always wondered why I would always find him when I went searching under the bed. And to this day she is still freaked out by it and refuses to watch the trailer. I don't see how she can be frightened but I mean I'm the one that happens to have an insane amount of irrational fears ie ladders (not just the ladder itself but the act of climbing up one), sparklers, stairs, cooking grease, etc. I guess I shouldn't be so quick to make fun of her, but its my right as the elder sibling.

How can she not like Bernard? He's adorable!

I made spam musubis for dinner because I was lazy. I need to remember to bring back one of the makers from home because rolling scorching hot rice out is not very fun. I also made my favorite sesame spinach so there was some semblance of a balance meal in there.

The roommate and I spent awhile just looking and laughing hysterically at videos of bored marines on youtube. Go search for some. As she says, "They are the most gayest straight men you will ever meet."

In conclusion here are some cute olive penguin appetizers that I want to make at some point because they are so incredibly adorable!
