-130- Stovetop Dinner

I was very excited to make chicken korma over couscous for dinner tonight. I decided to make something green to add to our plates, so I opened the bag of frozen broccoli I happened to have. I was disappointed when I saw that it was mostly a bunch of cut up stalks rather than heads, which I think are the best part.

Although my korma sauce was from a jar, it was still mighty delicious. It brought back a rush of so many good memories of Oxford and the church I went to there, because that is where I first had it. Surprisingly enough, the cafeteria at ACU made it pretty well, too.

-129- Misleading Display

We went out with some friends tonight and stopped at Best Buy. They had this quarter machine out in the foyer, and it caught our attention because the "Xtreme Quality" of these prizes is hardly that. You think you have a chance to get an mp3 player or virtual pet, but if you look closely, the only things in those eggs are little plastic animals and aluminum rings. I wonder how many disappointed little kids have walked away from this machine?

-128- Take Out

This evening brought absolutely beautiful weather, so as soon as I walked in the door from work I said to Justin, "I have a great idea: let's have a picnic for dinner." So instead of making sandwiches (which we'd both had for lunch) we just picked up some Chik-Fil-A and went to that big park we first visited back on June 10th. The weather just had not been comfortable enough to be out in until now to go back out there, so that explains our long absence from it. Anyway, we enjoyed our "Chikin" and then played a little catch with a Frisbee and just enjoyed the nice day. I can't wait until it starts getting consistently cooler!

-127- Practice

Yesterday I inferred that I was going to learn how to crochet. My mom actually taught me a few stitches back when I was younger but I never kept up with it. So as I practiced tonight, learning from the booklet I bought, I found that it was fairly easy for me to catch back on to it. The photo above shows the four rows of practice stitches I have done so far. There are actually four different stitches in that one piece of work.

-126- Coldest Drink in Town

I tagged along with Justin as he worked one of his stores tonight. While he worked, I bought some yarn, crochet needles, a Teach Yourself How to Crochet book, and this Icee. What a successful trip! ;)

-125- Tomorrow

These are my Kraft work clothes, ready for me to throw on at 5 AM in the morn. Ahhh... Nice view right before bed, eh? Or not.

-124- Pictorial

Tired of junk mail and sensitive personal information on paper overtaking parts of our apartment, we bought a shredder today and joyously shredded all those papers to bits. The warnings on the front of the machine are pictures, and we couldn't understand for certain what they meant. My favorite is the first one... Justin saw it and said, "No stuffed toys..." I was like, "Justin, I'm pretty sure that means don't let kids use it."
