Food

Last week, My Mother and I went to Olive Garden and got Bruschetta. I've tasted Bruschetta before, but wasn't pleased, as well as when we got to Olive Garden. I wasn't pleased. It was just okay, so my Mom says, "Lets go get the ingredients and make our own Bruschetta!" So I'm all like okay! 
A couple of days later and we get to the task. We bought some cheese bread, basil, and roma tomatoes. Here is the recipe: http://www.recipezaar.com/Tomato-and-Basil-Bruschetta-44232
We make it. Toast the bread to a crisp, stir in the balsamic vinegar; I take a bite, and the most wonderful flavors married into a taste that I will never forget. 
Why does food make us feel so good? Same thing happened when I had Miso Salmon at The Cheesecake Factory. If I could move to France or Italy, somewhere where food is the culture, I would be the happiest young women ever. I really need to marry a Chef... 
If anyone is reading this blog, anyone, what is a food that has engraved it's taste in your mind that you've had in your life, comment. I would love to know ;-)

Crochet

Guess what I'm learning to do. I'm learning how to crochet
I tried a while ago, and I didn't really enjoy it, but last night for an activity, my friend taught me how. Now I have something relaxing to do after my hand gets used to the weird hand position. 
I am crocheting a striped purple and white(with sparkles) scarf. It looks fine, except somewhere along the line I lost 2 stitches... whoops... Well, live and learn thats what I always say. 
If you guys would like to learn yourself, here is a website where you can learn everything about crocheting. I'll post a picture of my scarf when I finish (if I ever do).

...I'm thinking...

Hmm... Thoughts from the past week.... Well, I ordered a way cute shirt from hottopic.com and it should be arriving today. It's got Pacman on it. Ahh so excited!
I cleaned my room and bathroom spotless. Just hope I can keep it that way. I have a weird habit... I clean my room, I'm happy, then Sunday comes, and my rooms starts getting dirty and I don't clean it up. I really need to break it. My room is still clean! Crap... I need to go make my bed... THEN it will be clean... Hooray for cleanliness!
I got a Dumb Rat on Saturday. She is the cuuuutest thing ever! She is my first pet rat, and I'm lovin' her. Lulu is tan and white. She looooves to cuddle with me when I'm watching TV or sitting on my floor. I can't believe my Mom convinced my Anti-Rat Father to let me get one. This is a miracle, cept there are some rules... no letting her down, I have to put her cage in my room, she has to be clean 24/7, yada yada yada. It's worth it though.
Other things on my mind... hmmm OH! My friend and I have started playing together again. We used to be in a band, but that kind of crashed and burned. We're trying again though. It was way fun, because last night we got together and she would play rhythm guitar, I would pick, and we would both sing. Good times.
Alright, well that's pretty much my thoughts for this week. Hopefully I'll get a piano vid up soon.

Talk to y'all soon!
