I'm feeling much better than the last time I updated here. Basically, my doc had me stop my anti-depressant and back off on my mood stabilizer. Then, today, I switched to new meds. I haven't been on lithium since I was first diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2002. So, stupid me, I take the first dose with just a tiny glass of milk. Cue sickness. I ( Read more... )

Sunday was my chocolate class. It was kind of disorganized and the guy was really ditzy, but the chocolates turned out so well! I spend most of the time making almond dragees (first and last pictures), but I also got to make a red pepper ganache.

Sushi class was so much fun! At my table I had a couple my parent's age and then a couple a bit older than me, but they were all good people to hang with for 3 hours. I got a free glass of wine for checking in on foursquare, which was an awesome way to start the evening. When we got down to business, it turns out I'm pretty good at making maki! ( Read more... )

I had my wisdom teeth yanked yesterday. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be; I'm more tired than in pain. Staying at Mom and Dad's which means they are now bombarding me with all their computer-related questions. I really don't know how Dad fucked up Adobe Reader, but he did. Just how I wanted to spend my Sunday! But at least I got corned ( Read more... )

I broke my kitchen in Friday night by cooking Indian food. This was the menu, all from scratch ( Read more... )

Can you believe I adopted Lillie and Louie about a year ago now? It feels like I've had them forever! They've made so much progress since I got them. Both are healthy and happy, and spoiled, of course. Today Lillie was jumping up all over me and giving me kisses and I was like, "this is the dog that hid from me every time i went near her for months ( Read more... )

One of the insmallpackages gifts I signed up to give was #213 which asked for Picspam of Dean Winchester's favourite foods (and foods he would probably like, he just hasn't tried them yet). So, here it is. It's Chicago and Southern food, mainly. In thinking about this, I realized that I have similar tastes to Dean based on what we've been shown in episodes. So a ( Read more... )

Went to Tom and Jill's house today to play video games/cook. Tom and I really suck at the new Goldeneye for Wii and are only marginally better at the Zombie campaign on Call of Duty: Black Ops. Alas ( Read more... )
