Last night at the last minute I invited a girl from church to have dinner at my place. She was about 10 minutes away, so I had to think fast. I realized the other day that I haven't really cooked (as in made a nice, Martha Stewart worthy meal) for quite a while. At one time I was famous in my church in Michigan for my homemade raviolli and other culinary presentations.
Since I'm still new here I've only purchased necessities for myself. I did anticipate having some college guests, so I had a stock of baked potato bar fix'ns but that seems so lame. There were little things I had forgotten to get. For instance I just use balsamic vinegar on my salad, but most people here like dressing. I would have made my other specialty, homemade ranch, but I had no dill!
Once I finish my kitchen island (complete on rollers) I will have to do more. I'm thinking of having a roll-your-own sushi party. And yes, the kitchen island...my plan is to retro fit a storage unit and lay tile on the top to make a nice surface. I think that will be easier than completely starting from scratch since I only have manual tools (I accidentally left my power drill and power staple gun back at my parents house).
God is good. I've really been enjoying Bible study and am currently enjoying Redemption Songs on my new speakers. I met a grad student last night who is kind of in the same place as me...from out of state...having to go back to school because things didn't transfer...etc etc. We swapped stories of getting lost in this town. ;0)) Off to another job interview....
