Eat and sleep
You guys are all so supportive of my cooking attempts that I may just have to write about each new thing I try. I can definitely use the positive reinforcement. Last night wasn’t very exciting though: pierogies (the frozen kind) and a salad. Brad made himself mac n’ cheese because he thinks pierogies are disgusting and salad is boring.
After dinner I meant to do some much-needed catching up on homework, but instead I went to bed at 8:30. I was on the couch with Brad, watching Mythbusters (James Bond’s magnetic forcefield watch was total bullshit, it doesn’t work), and suddenly I wanted nothing more than to be asleep. Going to bed so early messes with my head though—I had bizarre dreams all night, and I woke up at 5:00 thinking I had missed my alarm. I decided to get up anyway and do something productive with that time. I did a little homework, cleaned the house, ran some errands before work.
Um, no. I didn’t. I rolled over and went back to sleep for two hours. Get up at 5? Who does that?

yeah…5 am, that’s just nonsense. I’m proud of you for rolling over and going back to sleep!

Holy crap - you’re productive!

Ohmygosh, I thought you were serious. I was thinking, “Wow! You definitely have more gumption than I do!” Haha!
Your story made me think of how Trint doesn’t like anything. Meat and potatoes. That’s all he’ll eat. I love so many different things and avoid eating a lot of them, or fixing them, because he won’t eat it. I will give him credit for trying a few things recently, but he’s like a little kid. He makes this awful scrunchy face and, if we’re lucky, he’ll swallow it.
I just wonder how many couples each separate things for meals like that.
Anywho, I look forward to more cooking adventures. How fun!

You say you’ve never cooked that much? Then you need the “Joy of Cooking” cookbook. It has info on storage, prep, what the different ways of cooking mean, it has all of the food groups, and theres even some history stuff in there once in a while. It’s awesome. I got one for Christmas, and I couldn’t be happier with it.

[...] complete opposite of going to bed at 8:30pm is going to bed at 4 in the morning. I didn’t mean to, but my body rebelled and all of my [...]

How can anyone think perogies are disgusting and mac/cheese is good. They are confused, very confused.

Okay. I have a recipe for you. I’m totally goo-goo over it and it’s so easy I have to share. Chicken pot pie! Who doesn’t love that!
2 ready-made frozen pie crusts
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 large can of chicken
1 can or 1/2 bag frozen mixed vegetables
Put the pie crust in a pan. Mix everything else up and put it in the pie crust. Set the other pie crust on top. Cut a few slits in the top crust. Bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes. Done!
It’s deee-licious. Give it a try.

I was thinking wow, I thought I did a lot in the morning. Funny!
And I’ll be trying the potpie recipe this weekend. Thanks!
