The rest of my Wednesday.
So - Wednesday I did end up making some arroz con pollo for Ralph. I looked online for authentic Cuban recipes but wound up finding an arroz con pollo recipe from Cooking Light magazine! Bingo! Forget authentic Cuban - the both of us are on a diet. How perfect to enjoy a lighter version of one of our favorite meals! I found the recipe here:
Arroz con Pollo, from Cooking Light magazine
And it was delish! Hooray! :)
As for David's Bridal... lets just say nothing I tried on made me go "Ohhh my. This is the one!" And I learned that an empire waist wedding dress is just not flattering on me! I went in to try the one dress and the consultant pulled 3 others for me. They were nice. But none of them were really doing it for me. Especially when I got home and uploaded the pics I had the lady take (since I was there all by myself and had no one to give me opinions!). This was the nicest of the four - I really loved the beadwork on the top and the lace overlay on the bottom. Probably my ideal combination. But I felt like the dress was wayyy to heavy on the bottom. I want to wear the dress - not the dress wear me!
Oh, and that dress was not my size AND the consultant said they offered it in "petit" so it would be a few inches shorter on the bottom and fit me better since I'm so short! But like I said - I didn't fall in love with it. I guess maybe I will try a more fitted dress after all. Although I read that some lady had hers altered so that it had a sweetheart neckline which I would love... hmm... I'm gonna keep this one as an option I guess because it's definitely in my "dress under $1000" budget.
Other than that, nothing much else is going on. I found another job I'd like to apply for back home so I'll be doing that soon. I do think if I move back home that I will wind up enrolling in culinary school. I'll probably lean more towards the entrepreneur track though. So we'll see!
