...and cooked another successful dish!

I read stuff on Israel and Homeland Security until my eyes wanted to die, today. My housemate commented "Wow. You like study more here than at home?" Cos it seems like most of my time is spent reading while they've been day-tripping to Newport Beach and Balboa Island (They're like, whatever, about their classes cos writing papers is slack. Don't need references and all the extra stuff NUS makes us do.) Grr.

The rest of the evening/night was spent largely on cooking Beef and Squash - a personal favourite. recipe from Mum.

I peeled 5 squash in 1.5 hours. With that big knife cos don't have any smaller. Pain ah! Relieved the boredom and motivated to cook by watching Ratatouille.

See the amount of squash? To match the amount of beef so don't have to refreeze it. Had to chop the garlic and onions on a PLATE. Should have wished for a chopping board at Christmas.

First add the beef...

Then add the squah. The pot is FULL.

Final Product! To coincide with the end of Ratatouille. I took that the same time as the length of the movie to cook?! Could have finished another reading if I just fried eggs! Naaahhh, satisfaction experienced and nutrition absorbed - incomparable.

Off to San Diego tomorrow! Visiting factory outlets, the Zoo, the Wildlife Park, hopefully watch a live band, and ride a tram!
