Words of wisdom

If you're listening to language instruction lessons each broken into multiple tracks, it's best to turn off the shuffle feature on your audio player. Otherwise you'll find yourself really, really confused.

If it looks like rain and sounds like rain and it's January in the Northeast--it's probably black ice forming on the roads that will add that extra special touch to your morning commute.

The reason why you should put a band-aid on a papercut isn't because you're a wimp--it's because there's never just one. Gave myself three papercuts on that same finger before I finally wised up. Considering I may need to put on gloves before I sort through the rest of the stack papers.

One of these things is not like the other

Dinner 1:

1) Boil water & cook pasta
2) Microwave leftover peas to warm them up
3) Microwave pasta sauce (jar)
4) Drain pasta, dump in bowl. Cover in peas. Cover pasta&peas with sauce.
5) Eat


Dinner 2:

Cooked some bow tie pasta. Melted some butter. Sauteed fresh garlic. Dumped in some flour. Made a "roux". Added milk. Stirred every now and then. Thawed some spinach and mixed pepper strips. (Very colorful) Mixed with pasta. Dumped in casserole dish. Poured cream sauce on top. Dotted with parmesan cheese. Baked, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Then eat. Mmmmmmmm. Easy, colorful, (I like the red, yellow and green stuff!) and super delicious.

Those who know me will be able to guess that dinner #1 was the one prepared at my house. Dinner #2 was the one my sister made for herself and then e-mailed me about.

If we lived closer, I'd be eating at her place :-)
