Uneventful weekend...

Midterms are next week, so I'm holed up in the dorm this weekend. In between studying, I've been watching old movies - like Funny Girl and Meet Me in St. Louis.

Consequently, I've been humming this song all day long. I'm sure my neighbors are rather sick of me by now.

I've also been trying my hand at seafood - I was getting tired of plain old veggies on top of rice every night, so I've ventured into an unknown realm - buying fresh fish.

I had to shell uncooked shrimp the other night. I was kinda weirded out because I had no idea that shrimp are gray at first, and then turn pink when you cook them. I thought they were just always pink! I made shrimp scampi with spaghetti, because I was a little homesick - it was good, but not quite the same as how my Mom makes it - but it's always that way with those kinds of things.

















Apparently some of my friends thought that it looked delicious, so I think I'm going to make it again, but for more people this time.

Tonight I made this:

















Just call me Julia Child! Hopefully I'll branch out further from here.

Next weekend will (most likely) be more eventful - midterms will be over by then!
