Recent Highlights

I know that I haven't posted anything in 2 months - that is bad. I am bad - there, I said it. Moving on, I definitely have more time to devote to blogging now that soccer season has ended. Psych! Just because games are over doesn't mean that we stop practicing. Now we are playing "futsal" which is basically indoor soccer played on a basketball court. It is pretty fun, except for the small detail that we start at 6:30 am. But it gives me more time in the afternoon of course which I will devote solely to schoolwork and other productive uses of my time ; ) ... Sadly, soccer season is over, though our team did well. We came in second in our division. I am going to try to attach a highlights video of our season that my coach made. Don't get your hopes too high because I really don't know how to much with this whole blog thing. Erica is going to give me a blogger tutorial session soon so I can make this thing a little more exciting. I other highlights, I made 4 dinners last week which is a new record for me. 4 in one week - truly amazing. My masterpiece was the homemade clam chowder. If you know me, you know that if clam chowder was the only available food left, it would be heaven on earth for me. You also probably know that I am a clam chowder critic and though they are all good, none ever measure up to my mom's chowder. But, I am happy to say, that though it was not as soperb as my mom's, it came dangerously close. Someday I will perfect it. It was a rather complex process too, so I was proud of myself - because complicated recipes don't normally go over well with me. Lance thoroughly enjoyed the meal which made me happy. He says that their all good, but I'm not sure I buy it. I could tell he really liked this one though. If you have any "beginning cook" recipes that are tasty and not super complicated that you would like to share, I would not turn them away! My cooking skills I am working on.
