It's like fancy feast, but for humans.

Just so you all don't forget, we make food up here. Fancy food.

We have been making homemade tortillas recently, and they have been so delicious! We've made whole wheat ones as well as just plain flour tortillas, and they have both been super tasty.

One week not too long ago I went on a vegetarian/no enriched foods diet. It went pretty well, and it lined up with National Vegetarian Week, so that was nice. We ate a lot of beans and salads, and a lot of brown rice. Overall it went pretty well, although I was glad to go back to multigrain pasta...whole wheat pasta is so intense. Although I don't mind the whole wheat with Cowboy Spaghetti, it's already such a hearty meal that you hardly notice how wheat-y the noodles really are.

We're still waiting to hear back from the U of M, but unless every possible thing goes wrong, it is looking like that is where we'll end up next year. I have been applying for a couple jobs and even an internship...

so let's all cross our fingers and hope something comes my way!

Boom, baby!

I have ever so much to blog about.

Our time is winding down here, and so is this semester. But when I say winding down I mean ramping up. REALLY RAMPING UP. In Administrative Law (aka, the class that is destroying my soul) we are barely half way through the textbook and so the professor is trying to cram the whole Administrative Procedure Act and about twelve long cases a night into our brains. 

Admin is already a bear of a class, I didn't need the extra reading.

On the brighter side, Admin is the only actual final I will have to take. The rest are papers or projects, which are a separate sort of beast. 

Granted the final is eight hours...

Jake and I recently ran out of our beloved crushed green chile. But I ordered some from that place I told you all about in an earlier post, Chimayo To Go, and went for the full pound bag. It was only about eight dollars, they sent it to me so fast, and there was a hand-written note inside telling me to enjoy! It was delightful, and everyone should buy some delicious spices from them.

You all might not need the full pound bag, however...

It is a lot of green chile.

 

But we seriously do use it almost everyday.

We have established quite the group of friends out here that we are going to miss a lot when we all go our separate ways. 

Last weekend we had a murder mystery party! Brian and Nicole (see blog list to the right) hosted it and it was a ton of fun. Probably the funniest thing about it was that everyone ended up being guilty--everyone tried to murder this guy. It's too bad really because he seemed like an okay guy in the end.

I was Lolita X. Posure, photographer/assassin, Jake was Wirth Les Bonds, New York Senator/sleaze ball. I tried to kill the guy with a dart hidden in my telephoto lens, Jake went for arsenic in the mineral water, a classic. Funny thing is, the water was already poisoned with cyanide...

Here are the girls!

This weekend we will be heading down to Boston for a temple trip...and a Cheesecake Factory run.

We are so bad.

And for those who are wondering, yes, life is still crazy here at the SOROHO.

nobody knows where our landlord is. word on the street is she isn't coming back.

AND, apparently gravity goes up here.

it's beyond me.

(if you can't see what's in the picture, there is a giant spike sticking out of our ice cube that was just sitting upright in a tray. the spike was over an inch long.)

always an adventure up here in vermont! and for the most part, we are down for it.
