I'm afraid that I'm starting to settle in a little bit. Not settle in as "being ok with living here" settling, just "ok, let's get this over with and make the best of it" settling

Well they're not pictures of me, they're pictures of the only redeeming thing about this place... nature. Its very nice, beautiful sunsets and landscapes and mountains, trees, flowers.... *sick* I WANT SMOG!
Mmm cake. I should bake strawberry cupcakes. *ponders* And tostones rock my socks. I finally perfected my beef strogonoff recipe, and I make a killer steak. :P Still working on the art of mashed potatoes, though.
Complacancy has it's ups and downs. Although I bet by the time you leave in December, there will be more than steak dinners that you miss. :P
I can't even explain how happy it makes me to be back in regular contact with you. You always know exactly what to say, even if it isn't what I want to hear, its what I need to hear. Onee-chan, what would I do without you?
Bah. You'd be the Skateboarding Prince! (oh goodness... memories.)
LJ is worth it's weight in gold (netly speaking) 'cause it allows me to speak to my Aniki-sama. I really hope I'll get to see you this summer, but either way... we'll meet eventually, that we will! I have faith. ^^
Oh! Katie sent me a letter! (talk about old hogwartians popping up all at once) She's lost a crud load of her addy book, and I'm planning to send her my info. Want me to send you hers and vice versa as well?
Tostones is the jump off. But personally, I like amarillos.
Hopefully you enjoy where you are more with time, otherwise you'll just be miserable all the time over there. But from the sound of it, things are doing well, and I'm glad to hear.
You could have a grapefruit theme! I made grapefruit-chili chicken, and it was yum. Juice of one grapefruit (or orange, or 1 lemon and 1 lime), 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Marinate 2-3 chicken breasts all day, then grill, basting periodically with excess marinade. Serve with a dollop of sour cream on each chicken breast. I also served it with scalloped potatoes+cheddar, and it was good.
I'm making pot roast tomorrow, and I've got stuff to make a Grand Marnier souffle, but haven't done it yet. Did you see my food porn cake?
The chicken sounds delish! I might just try that tonight...except I can't marinate the proper amount of time for tonight, so I guess I'll start the marination in the morning and make it tomorrow night. :) I need to talk to Kitten more for good recipes.
Mike insists you take pictures of the cake. I agree. Also, if you could take pics of the chicken, I'd appreciate it, since I've made it twice recently and neglected to photograph it for food_porn. Meanwhile, here is my food porn cake. Mmm.
If you want more Kitten-recipes, I have some posted on my site (dustkitty.net), and some in the memories of my LJ, listed under "domestic". And I fully intend to post more; I've been watching the food network while I'm staying with cable-endowed in-laws, and Mike bought me a cd-rom with 12,000 recipes.

I'm gonna buy some cute stationary and start writing everyone letters. If I don't write Sarah a letter soon she's probably gonna kill me.
