Comfort food
Living on my own, I have really enjoyed cooking for myself. I am not afraid to try some new and different things, as long as they aren't too complicated. However, some days, I just want something simple and delicious that tastes the way it does when Mom cooks it. This is one of my favorite "comfort food" recipes, straight from my Mom.

Icon!
This post has no other purpose other than to point out my awesome new icon. Brigitta = me. My mom used to wonder why it took me so long to get dressed in the morning. She eventually realized it was because I wouldn't stop reading--I would find a heavy object to hold my book open while I put my clothes on and brushed my hair and did my teeth. I was ( Read more... ) -
Why I would never be a good Mormon
I've come to the realization that I could never make it as a Mormon, for one very practical reason (well, actually for quite a few good reasons, both practical and theological, but I'm not going into all of them at the moment): I like hot drinks far too much.
Tea is my drink of choice. I have black tea every morning--my favorites are Earl Grey and ( Read more... ) -

Hey, guess what? I haven't died or fallen off the face of the earth! I know, I know, I'm sure there were thousands of people out there wondering...not.
So, the last five months in review:- I finished student teaching with middle school band. I got to conduct half of the pieces at the spring concert, which was a really great experience. I keep ( Read more... )

No, I have not fallen off the face of the earth
Student teaching eats my life. Some days are great, some are average, and some are just days to be endured before the weekend. The students are fun, though--I like middle school age. Why are others so horrified of it? They're actually pretty fun, and they still look up to their teachers a certain amount. A few are pills, of course, but most of ( Read more... ) -

Random stuff:- I am excited because "Return to Cranford" (that might not be the exact title, but it's close) is airing on Masterpiece Theatre tonight. I loved the book Cranford (Elizabeth Gaskell), and the movie was lovely. From what I saw in the preview for this sequel, it looks like they're expanding on a couple of storylines from the book that ( Read more... )

Books read in 2009
Well, the end of the year is approaching, and as I've just started reading David Copperfield and I don't think I will finish before Friday (I like to savor Dickens and enjoy it slowly), I think it is time to list all the books I have read in 2009. I am going to count as I go...I really don't know how many it was. I think I read about 25 last year ( Read more... ) -
The End.
I am now done with college (minus student teaching, which will go next semester from January 18th-April 30th). I will never have to take another final exam, play another student recital, play another jury, sit through another boring class, sit through another interesting class, write another research paper ( Read more... )
