My weekend in a nutshell...

This is my weekend in a nutshell.  How did it get in this bloody big nutshell?  (and so ends my horribly geeky Austin Powers impression... I thank you.)

I spent Friday over at Kim and Ray's place.   Kim and I did some cooking and hung out, and in the evening a group of 5 of us played a little texas hold'em poker.  I made a lasagna, and Kim made a banana pudding pie with a graham cracker crust.  Both turned out really yummy, and I got to learn a little southern slang.  I learned that the southern name for "Banana pudding pie with a graham cracker crust" is (and I quote) " 'Nan'r Puddin'." Also, it doesn't always require a crust, sometimes it is just on Nilla wafers.  Took me a good 2 minutes to figure out how to type/spell that out, lemme tell you!  Either way it was delicious, and I'm definitely keeping that recipe for lasagna for future reference.  (Ricotta instead of cottage cheese people - it's the wave of the future.  lol)

(Though I just used extra ground beef, because I couldn't get Italian sausage)

(Before going into the oven.  Then the cheese melted and got a gooey.... nom nom nom. lol)

Saturday was spent organizing, and cleaning Travis' dorm room.  He has to be out of his dorm tomorrow (Monday) so we tried to get as much of his stuff in order as we could.  Saturday evening was spent over at Kim and Ray's again playing video games and laughing at each other.  We also made Vietnamese spring rolls for dinner which were delicious.  No pictures - but yummy!  Chicken, sauteed red pepper and purple onion, carrot, lettuce, peanut sauce and rice paper rollers.

(Not my picture - and ours didn't look nearly this pretty, but this is a reference picture for those of you who have never made Vietnamese spring rolls.)

When we were heading out for a walk after dinner I noticed that Drake had decided to make my bag home... silly kitty.


Sunday (today) we got all of my stuff organized to get me out of Korea.  I had a "come and steal Kristen's stuff right out from under her nose" party which was a decent success.  Many people came and 'stole' my stuff, but I still feel like I have a lot here that I don't know what to do with.  I have way more luggage than I thought I'd have as well... so I'll have to work that out.  My last day in my apartment is Tuesday, so I'll be couch surfing over at my friends Alex & Kenton's Tuesday and Wednesday night.  They are being wonderful in letting me stay at their place, and it is really nice and convenient, because they live a half block away from my school.  Thursday I'll be moving to Travis' hotel room - and a week from tomorrow (Monday, November 1st) I fly home!!


Should be an interesting busy last week in Korea!
