one more week

until i become a normal, functioning part of society again.  grad school SUCKS.  but in a weird way, i kind of like it.

but, to be completely frank, i haven't really cooked much of anything (with the exception of some deeelicious thanksgiving dishes) for about a month.  it's really quite terrible.  i've made meals here and there, just to remind myself i still know how to cook, but the majority of my dinners over the past couple of weeks have been out in restaurants.

monday night, for example, i made what is seeming to become a weekly trip to the local moroccan spot, where the owners are friendly and know us because we come in so much.  this is great for several reasons: they (and we) pretty much know what we want to eat as soon as we sit down.  this is also great because the time before i went, in a bout of stress-induced absentmindedness, i left behind my water bottle.  they saved it for me and promptly brought it over to me with our delicious fattouch salad (something that is on the top of my to-cook list once the semester ends...in one week!!!)  the only reason it's not great is that i want to COOK MY OWN FOOD for a change.

so, in short, i'll be back in action next wednesday, in much better spirits and much more motivated to cook.
