We have been cooking a lot lately.

I ♥♥♥ it!

Chris 'cooked' us sushi as a fore mentioned....

And than Lamb Chops....Dont think I have ever had them until them(mom, correct me if Im wrong). They were way good, and bloody of course...most of the things we cook arent really cooked at all.
Chris and I cant cook hamburger together because between the two of us the meat doesnt last long enough to cook..

haha. Yeah, were gonna die....we know.

Then...last night we cooked Pho. If you have not had Pho (pronounced Fuh) you are sadly uncultured and I will have to have you over for dinner.
It is a very yummy vietnamese soup. Pho, is a beef broth...then you can add rare beef, brisket, tendon, tripe, onions, basil, bean sprouts....and dont forget to season it with shiracha and soy sauce.

Its delightful....
Phomazing!

After Broth...coookinEatin(chris doesn't like this pic, I love it...)

Other than Chris fatting me up lately. I have been in a bit of a rut.

I hate where I live. Seriously, can not take it anymore. I want to get my own place, for me and Duece, and I am willing to pay 600 bucks a month if I have too! I found a few places but my lease is not up until the end of April and I would feel bad moving out sooner since I have ALL the furniture, appliances, etc at my current home.
I only work 30-35 hours a week right now, and I dont think I should...but it just might happen. I hate not wanting to come home, or not spending time with Duece because I am so frustrated to be there.
Any ways, if any one has any suggestions that would be great. Let me know. I might live in chris' backyard for a few weeks just to relax(or at least I would if he had a backyard, and if his neighbors werent crazy).

Bah, Such is life. I loved this house, and now, because of all the bull crap roommate drama, and tons of unnessecary money mishaps...I hate being home. Its not a home. and that frustrates me most.

Gettin scratched in cracks, and getting baked with frank

'The epitomy of cool'

I have alot to talk about, and so little interspace to put it on.

Well, lets start at the beginning. or as early back as I can recall at the time bein...

So two weekends ago, Myself, Duece, Jesus, Ben, Chris, & Chris all took a nice trip to Indian Creek.
I successfully addicted my two new friends to crack, and came out of there with surprisingly very few track marks.

The best part of the trip however, was my Sister...Roxy Noodle Brain. She took the challenge of climbing...I am not going to lie I thought she was going to bail...But she did it! A Stinkin 5.9 Crack climb called Twin cracks....for her first time!! Can I get a shocking 'huh' sound from our readers? Let me explain a lil something. Crack climbing...hated by most, thought crazy by most, and rarely done by americans. 5.9 rating...most people never get past 5.9-5.10 rating in climbing. And my sister, did this, her first time. so proud, so proud(wheres the pics rox)

Ben and Duece

Chris on a nasty offwidth, which was kinda fun...of course ben loved it.

Last night My crazy fun new roommate Theresa(Theresa Corrao, from cello, HS friend...memeber?) and myself, and Amanda of course....Made Halloween cookies.

The plan was to make them for the neighbors, b/c I dont really like cookies, and we dont need that kind of sugar in our lives.

The night was an amazing adventure...
From the Sticky, sticky, very sticky dough...

to the very runny, but soon altered and turned out amazing frosting....

To the very interestingly decorated cookies, that are very burnt, and covered in tears of laughter, and the three of us' spit.

This is frank, the pumpkin disguised as a bunny, the last cookie made (inspired by donnie darko)

Special thanks to Tammy Dusoe, for last minute providing us with the following:
cookie cutters, food coloring, flour, vanilla, sprinkles, pretty much everything we needed, that we forgot.

The ABC's of this weekend

So this weekend was a lot of fun.

It was my good friend Jeffy's birthday so we threw him a party, it was a dress up party. Ha, Since all the ones I have anything to do with end up being dress up parties :)

The theme was burlesque, or ABC(Anything But Clothes), which before you freak out, doesn't mean you come naked, it just means you have to be creative and MAKE your costume.

So I dressed burlesque, b/c the way they did their hair is just amazing, and Tony & Duece went ABC.

We made a duct tape suit jacket with a caution tape tie for Tony( and Dueces collar was duct tape as well)

I wore my painfully wonderful corset, a skirt, long legging with bows, bright red lip stick, and cool hair ha.

You should have seen the girl in saran wrap. ha. I tried to get a good pic of my hair, and thats the best I could do...

On sunday we had a pot luck dinner with Tony's friends/old landlords.. the clicks.

Sue Click has made it up my list as one of the funniest lady's ever. And she made and amazing apricot, tofu, mushroom something or another.
We brought OUR famous stuffed Artichokes. Yum.

I learned a new game which I cant remember the name for, and Sue made sure we played till dark, she laughed so hard at some points, nearly had me in tears. LOVED IT.

He was pretending...He didn't help a bit.

_{Ok, just kidding, he cooked the rice.}

Beautiful Artichokes...yes, I know, I ruin the picture.

And of course...what would a weekend be without SCRABBLE!(I think I won this game)

Just as a little Side Note..

The Clicks gave me a bunch of Apricots, So I am trying to make leather like grandma Lily always did. So as much as I like this cool, cloudy weather...its messing up my leather making process, its been two days now and my leather isnt even close to being dried.

^{&&& my car smells like apricots}
