tomorrow afternoon is my interview. i really hope it goes well....because this is a position/location i am super interested in. :)
in other news...last week i finally made the shrimp corn chowder with fennel recipe that i'd been dying to make (from real simple), since my last attempt at corn chowder had been so delicious. it was not worth the wait! it was gross and takes the #2 spot on the short list of ickiest recipes ever attempted, behind the wintergreen lasagna (also from rs) that i made in college. i think it could have been saved, because it looked really good in the pot with the fennel/leeks/potatoes. i think yellow corn vs. white corn would have helped, and skipping the (half) can of clam sauce and shrimp. also, i think cream vs. milk would have been better...it was too soupy. but, at least i finally made it, but if i ever do it again, it'll be a corn/potato chowder instead. this week, i'm sticking to the basics: boneless pork chop, kabob meat (because stir fry is too dainty) and a strip steak (yummy)...hmm, i'm getting hungry! :)
oh, and in case i forgot to mention, i cut my hair off two weeks ago and got bangs. at first, i really missed my ponytail and regretted the bangs, but i've warmed up to it. i think going back to my roots (blonde) will help too....and, if i ever can take a flattering photo, i'll upload it to show off my 'do, but for now, you'll just have to take my word for it.
hope y'all had a great weekend and that your week started off right..it sure was a beautiful day today!
