Rocking weekend
This weekend just totally rocked! It was so much fun ^_^ and the run down is as follows:
saturday: Went up north, saw a friend from church and got my rafting sandals from her. yay! Then we hit the mall that was awesome. yay for professional slacks and plumeria body spray ^_^ We got back around 9 pm and then i crashed. It was fun getting to hang out with friends up north. and my faith in malls here has been restored tho the layout was wonky....hehe
Sunday:
over slept my alarm and woke up at 6:25 am (i was suppose to be up at 6 am) but it was all cool. Then six of us piled into eli's van and south we went to go river rafting. Three hours away from us but it was awesome. Ran into a few problems tho. brakes got somewhat over heated so we stopped by this little coffee shop. Turns out its mom and pop owned and they didn't open til 10 am and we needed to be at the rafting place at 9:30. However, they lived right next door to the shop and were nice and opened for us ^_^ Then it was off for some fun white water rafting. It wasn't as daring rapids as the stuff i did back with my home church but it was awesome! Got to kayak some of the rapids and that was fun. I went with trish on this one rapid called time zone and you were suppose to go the right then cut across to the left and avoid these big holes that are created from water going over the rocks...well trish and i went to the right got to the middle and then couldn't get over quite far enough to the left....the guide was yelling and pointing for us to go to the left....and we ended up going over the huge holes it rocked! Freaking scarry but hella fun! Then the rapid set afterwards we totally bit it. We were suppose to hit the first wave on the right and then the others head on, well we got through the first wave fine and then we got turned around and as we were trying to turn, we hit the second wave sideways and just caved. At least this time I didn't hit any rocks and so it was all good. It was an awesome day. The rapids were class 3 at the max and there weren't any waterfall like drops which was cool but not as exciting as when i went with the church college group. I can now say i have danced lindy hop in water hee hee...we started dancing to Wade in the Water (song in our head) as we were waiting to get back into the rafts after lunch :) Came back after our exilerating day and watched assasination tango and got a back massage..mmmm back massage yay!
Monday:
today i watched fruits basket anime that i got from a friend and then i worked on soc so that is taken care of for the week. Then i cooked dinner tonight. beef broccoli with baby corn, water chestnuts and straw mushrooms. I think it came out pretty well. three pounds of beef, two pounds of broccoli, and 4 cups of cooked rice. Everyone had enough to eat *i think* *i hope* It turned out pretty well, the broccoli didn't get over cooked and the other veggies tasted pretty good. I think my gravy needed help tho....and needed more rice. I ended up using flank steak and seasoned with the normal mix...i think i needed more soy and sesame oil, even tho i did add extra...the whiskey came out strong tasting even though the alcohol was cooked off....hmm back to the drawing board! shucks i guess i have to try it again! haha do i have any takers? I'm thinking next time i cook of doing won ton soup since i have most of the ingredients for that...or maybe a chinese four ingredient hot pot...not sure...tho if i do the won tons, everyone is pitching in to wrap other wise that is a LOT of work ;)
Classes are going ok..wednesdays and thursdays are killer. I talked to my accounting prof for rescheduling my accounting exams since i have lab from 6-9 wednesday evenings...so the tests are now 8:30-9:45 am for me >.< i am sooo not a morning person...oh well. Culinary class...we start in the kitchen this week. ooo i'm scurred!
