My meal

My favorite meal I have had many times. I know this meal inside and out because I often prepare it myself.

Here we go...

Starting out with a succulent medium well cooked steak. I also have on my plate a heaping pile of mashed potatoes that mare made form cut up potatoes. Beside the potatoes are sautéed snapped green beans. These are hand snapped beans that are sautéed in olive oil.

When enjoying this dinner I find that there are different textures with every part of it. The steak that is broiled in it's own juices and season with garlic salt, has a wonderful taste that is a bit salty but it has a soft texture which will make your mouth water. The potatoes have a fluffy texture to them that only makes the buttery, garlic taste standout from it's natural bland flavor. The green beans are mysterious. You have a vegetable that is seen as being either crunchy or soft: not these beans. These sautéed beans are a wonderful hybrid of the two views of green beans. They are cooked in a hot olive oil to where the edges are seared yet not burned. As you bite into this vegetable the crunchy, succulent taste overwhelms me and I can't figure out why I never enjoyed my vegetables as a kid.

Olympic news

I am sad to hear about the death of the luger from Georgia. He was doing a practice run down the track and lost control of his sled. His body was thrown into a steel pole at a speed close to 90 miles per hour. The opening for the Olympics in general had many hiccups. From the weather not being ideal, to protesters throwing off the direction of the torch relay. This was not what Canada envisioned for the winter Olympics.

Being Freshly married not a fresh student

I have been married for two months this friday. Being a student and married is a fun balance. I did not live with my fiance before we were married so I was starting the semester trying to do my part at our house and do the whole school work thing.

When I lived on my own it was not a big deal if I left a dish out and went to bed. Who cares I didn't even have an animal living with me to see that. However now that I have another person sharing a house, I worry about keeping things tidy! He won't tell me "hey there's a dish still out" I don't even know if he cares that much, but since it's our house now I do worry about how it looks. It's weird but somehow this thought and feeling came about. As far as throwing school work in there I am thankful that I only go to school three days a week! Having tuesday and thursday off is a great for catch up and relaxation. I am taking 15 hours so it helps to get those days to do what I need to do whether it's housework or homework!

If you are married or thinking about getting married while in school, it's not impossible it just takes readjusting!
