a taste for the weekend
I am thankful that today is Thursday.
Why?
Duh. The weekend is almost here! Yippee!!
This weekend is going to be fantastic. Not only do I get to see my wonderful in-laws (Hi Chuck and Susie!), but I also get to party with my sorority sisters. I am very fortunate to have such an amazing group of college friends. I transferred from KU to K-State my sophomore year and thought I made a big mistake. But all that changed when I met everyone at G-Phi.
From my sophomore year until I graduated, my college career was filled with memories and experiences with these girls that ranged from:
– drinking Gin and Tonics at 3am in G-Phi
– peeing on Pi-Phi’s lawn before Barn Party because it was the lady thing to do
– calling animal rescue to remove a huge kitty from a window cell
– pub crawls that turn into food crawls
– giving random people rides to class on Friday afternoons
– trying to survive attacks from our crazy landlord who tried to charge us for a dirty driveway (Is she still alive?)
Life was good in college thanks to my girls. How we made it out alive? No clue. But I think it’s safe to say that I will be friends with these girls for the rest of my life.
Okay, moving on.
Today was rather calm in an eerie way. This morning I was really stressed out about not getting everything done before I left this weekend. Plus, I had tonight’s cooking event on my mind so I wasn’t quite sure how the day would play out.
I swear I need to be tasered sometimes because I freak out so easily.
Good news, the only thing I wasn’t worried about was today’s outfit. I love this dress. Banana Republic Outlet for $30, yes please!
After work I had to race home to finish up a bunch of crap, i.e. packing and clearing out my camera card. Does anyone else hate this task? There should be a 1-800 number to call to have someone organize your photos….just a thought.
I arrived at Cook Street early to take pictures and help the boss with setup. Can I just tell you how flipping excited I was when I saw this place? I was like a kid in a candy store.
Risotto with Grilled Asparagus, Aged Pecorino, and a Balsamic Drizzle.
Grilled NY Strip Steak Marinated in Olive Oil with Garlic, with Fresh Baby Spinach
Molten Chocolate “Vesuvius” Cake
You look smokin' in that dress! You are so skinny!
And the food from the cooking class looks amazing. I want that risotto recipe with the balsamic glaze.
Love ya, Moomer Tell chuck and susie hi!
Love the bulleted list of some of the dumb stuff we did in college. Soooo much fun seeing you this weekend – and AGAIN next weekend – woohoo!
P.S. Please bring that molten cake to the lake next weekend. Thank you.
