something, important.

My roomates have been cooking and baking for the last few days and it smells incredibly delicious. Last night we had meatloaf and potatoes for dinner then today Jessica made cinnamon rolls and Amanda manufactored some rice krispy treats. I think this is the motivation I need to try my hand in the kitchen. I'm not sure what I'll make but here are some of my ideas:

sicilian market pasta:

asparagus pesto salad:

mac and cheese:



I found them all on my new favorite food site: http://www.blog.fatfreevegan.com/.

I think Fridays are my favorite day now, not because it is the last day of the school week (well, kind of) but because it is one of the only two days that the neat little thrift shop i discovered is open. It's also open on Thursdays but I'm in class all day so that doesn't work. The shop is the basement of a church and they have everything you could ever want in a thrift store for $2 per item. This Friday I am buying a sewing machine. yay.

ps. here is something new:

She is the muted three dimensional wallpaper
and the honeyed oak floors
that shine like a new ship deck.
She is the serving spoon in the sweet potatoes
and she is every single miniature marshmallow on top
that has been puffed to perfection in the oven
that is not her but will be soon.
She is the pastel peach carpet
that the vacuum cleaner inspects every afternoon.
She is all the tiles in the tile rummy game
we play after every Holiday dinner
and she is the front door that stays open
until we are out of sight.
She is the way he survives diabetes.
She is the pacemaker
the doctors inserted into his chest
(they don't know that she is there,
inside his blood pump).
