My Students Have all the Fun


So I teach cooking classes, but hardly have any time to cook myself, (I was up till 4am last night writing lesson plans) and I feel kindof left out, so Saturdays are my cooking days :)

Today I made homemade chocolate pudding for breakfast (egg, cocoa, milk, sugar--don't ever stop stirring!) and hamburgers for lunch!


Try it out: I combined in a bowl, the ground beef, an egg, bread crumbs, chopped onion, salt, and pepper, formed the patties and sprinkled paprika. I let the rolls rise all morning, rolled them in flour, and baked them at 350 for 15 minutes. I cooked up some bacon and diced some olives for on top. Just guess on the measurements!

Just Another Average Day

My life is anything but mediocre lately. Take today, for instance. I started teaching middle school! I LOOOOOOVE it!!! Those kids are so funny, and they just want to talk and be friends with you! "Are you the new student teacher?!" "Are you related to John Hancock?!" "Are you married?!" "What's your first name?!" Darling. And my cooperating teacher is a gem! I want her to be my mother-in-law, that's how much I've already grown to love her.

And then this boy has been on my mind like ALL day and it sort of stresses me out, the feeling of having to decide right NOW if that's what I want in a relationship, when really, I should not feel rushed. Some day I'll post what my roommate says I've been saying in my sleep, haha.

And then not to mention names, but Eric Sackett and I were leaving from rehearsal, and he chucked my water bottle across the room. I cried about how he had dented my dear water bottle and he laughed, "Next time it'll be your car!" And then not a minute later, as he was in front of me at the red light, he totally backs up into my car. My week-old pride and joy. BUT it could be a lot worse, and I can rest assured b/c I have great insurance, and we both know it was his fault. Bah, just another thing to work out.

And then I found this engagement ring as I was walking to the Provo library this weekend, in the grass, in a pretty jewelry box. So I put up signs, and then tonight reported it to the Provo police, who just picked it up, and the officer said I can have it if no one claims it in 90 days. Grand. That'll pay the rest of the loan on my car :)

May tomorrow just be one of those average days? For once?
