chicken dinner
I made my first roasted chicken today. I had to watch a quick youtube video on how to truss a chicken. It turned out to be pretty easy. So I got a 5lb chicken today and seasoned it with a little salt and some pepper and cooked it for 2 hours. It was so juicy and delicious. We had it tonight with some corn.
Next I want to make pulled chicken BBQ. I've been spending a lot of time in the kitchen lately. I made some cupcakes after dinner. Mini, teeny, tiny, little cupcakes that are so freaking cute!
The weather was so hot today. I wanted to spend every minute outside enjoying it. I finished my polka dot apron today. I have an idea for a new apron already that I may get started on soon. Can never have enough aprons.

Too much science
I have two tests to take today and I'm nervous. I have to take my first chemistry exam in about an hour and later tonight I take my anatomy and physiology test. I feel like the metric calculations and tissue histology is all swirling around and nothing is organized. Its been only 3 years since I was in school but it feels like it was forever ago now that I'm trying to get back into it. So I'm taking a break to update this and then its back to rereading my notes again and again.
Tomorrow Philip and I are going to go car shopping. We're thinking of getting a Honda or Hyundai or maybe a Toyota. I hope we find something cause I do miss being able to drive places. Taking the bus isn't as bad as I thought it would be at first. It does take a long time and I go to class during rush hour so I do have to stand the entire trip swaying back and forth as the bus goes down I5. Although it feels like a workout trying not to fall over and hold on so I don't bump into all the people around me. I should probably get back to the learning and try to cram as much information as I can into my brain before 4pm.

pluots
I tried my first Pluot today and they are awesome. They're a combination of a plum and an apricot. I got them in my first farm delivery last week. I think I'm going to use the bok choy that came with the delivery to make a stir fry tonight. I don't know if I've ever even had bok choy before. I heard its a lot like cabbage. I'm also going to try and make some cookies for this week. Maybe I'll make some oatmeal with chocolate chips.
I was thinking of trying to make my way through an entire cookbook to try new things. I tend to make the same meals week after week. I'm not sure what cookbook to use. I really want to try making more Mexican and Chinese foods. It would be fun to make my own burritos.

what to say...
It is actually hot in Seattle. I can not believe it! I don't even mean push up the sleeves of your cardigan hot but leave your cardigan at home HOT! I am loving every second of the warm weather before it leaves town. I spent the afternoon doing my anatomy homework while roasting on the roof deck.
I had today off from school to run errands and do the laundry. I know how to live it up during my free time. I also spent a few hours working on homework. I'm actually enjoying Chemistry so far which surprises me because I do not remember have a good time with it in high school.
This is a photo of my new living room chair. It doesn't really match the ottoman that I made but it is so comfortable it doesn't matter. We finally have a place for a guest to sit other than our uncomfortable kitchen chairs. Which is good since we're having a party tomorrow. Hopefully I will remember to take some photos because I don't even have any of my friends. In a few years if we don't live in the same place their faces will be all blurry in my memory.

July is my favorite month
I started school this week. I like it so far but its been keeping me really busy. The summer quarter is only 4 weeks so they cram a lot into each week. I decided to make my July To Do list all fun things that hopefully I can get done this month. I don't want to go crazy spending all my time memorizing the names of all our bones. I am terrible at remembering to take photos but I'm really going to try and photograph the list as I go along.
