Today is the first monday of the term.  I’ve celebrated it by working the 630a shift at the pool then returning to my apartment to lazily drink a cup of coffee and update my blog.  If only every monday morning this term could be so nice.

true to my nature i gave brett a really lame gift for christmas… a pasta maker.   we tested it out the other day.

did i make this?

Because brett was involved we made garlic rosemary pasta and it was declicious, but food is hard to photograph and make it look appatizing.

oh man, free time rules.

The garden anex…. being eaten by a cat!

more food!  There are meatballs are in there…  somewhere

We got trapped in the labs by guys waxing the floors.  Well first we weren’t allowed in the labs (i jumped the railing to get in) then i couldn’t get out until two film girls threatened to call the cops.  The guys then asked everyone to leave so they could wax the floors.  I felt bad for the guys although they were really rude when i tried to ask them if i could use the other door.

Even more yummy food

and a little action shot for you….

I swear i cook too… it’s just never as pretty……… Maybe i’ll share my recipe for cornbread and soup next time?   I think i need a brett’s food category…

So brett purchased this (and finally located the cart) and while i only had bites of it after it was reheated it was delicious and my new favorite thing.  True its $8-10 for a sandwich from a cart. But the man is as eccentric as the soup nazi.  You can find his cart by a huge plume of smoke (20th and market NE corner) and if you split it and purchase $.45 diet ginger ale sodas from tj’s it seems like a great lunch/dinner/breakfast/snack/whatever.

Yummmmmmmmmm

before you think i’m a good cook or anything…. all of this was prepared by the cadet.   I just thought it looked pretty.
