Good Lookin' Is-a Cookin'

Oh man. I am so good -- you don't even know.

I think one of the things I enjoy most about having a "place" is grocery shopping/cooking. My parents have asked me how I feel about those things as though they were burdens, but to tell you the truth, I love both of them a lot. FINALLY I can buy things that I want to buy, and man... I am so much healthier than when I lived in the dorms. Food is the one thing that I have no qualms about spending money on. Let me tell you... I am willing to spend a ridiculous amount of money on good cheese. That is my only true weakness.

I made dinner this evening. Well, like every evening. I actually MADE something though that involved actual cooking. It was fun. Completely original. Well, I'm sure that it's been done, but I didn't use a recipe. I made shrimp on spinach/cilantro pasta, in a sun-dried tomato/basil light cream sauce. It was awesome. We finished all of it.

It's been kind of an adventure seeing how much two people eat. Even just what I eat myself. I'm not sure how much to buy at the store, but I'm getting the hang of it.

I can see why so many people love cooking. It's so excellent because you really can't mess up.... a lot.... most of the time. That's if you're not doing anythign horribly complicated of course, which I don't plan on doing because our kitchen has so little space It's hard enought to make panini.

I went to Zuma Beach with Jay, Alyssa, and Justin today. SO much fun... although I couldn't go in the water, because of course I had to wearing this swimsuit, which although extremely cute, can barely stay over my breasts while I'm doing nothing. Therefore, there was no way in hell I was going to go into those huge waves. Especially with Jay in the same waters. :-) I need to get a suit that I can move around in, rather than just look pretty.

My back got a little burned, but I think it'll be ok by tomorrow. It's not all that bad.

Ok, I'm all carbed up, so i'm going to go for a bike ride and then chill a bit with Adarsh. Sweetness.
