A Friday List

Some random tidbits from my side of the world:

I have a friend visiting from out of town this weekend. In preparation for her visit, last night I was throwing together a few things for my favorite salad. I may or may not have eaten an embarrassingly large amount of the almonds I caramelized for the salad. Almonds + sugar = major weakness.

It’s actually quite warm today. I’d be doing a happy dance, except for the fact that the rise in temperatures has been accompanied by gale force winds that literally force you to eat dirt if you dare venture outside. Gotta love the feel of the grit of the Gobe desert on your teeth.

We go out to lunch as a team every Friday. Of our three team meals this semester, two of them have been at Pizza Hut. The other was at KFC. We do like Chinese food. I promise!

We have now entered the season of March Madness (and no, I’m not referring to the dust storms that visit these parts this time of year). I’ve put all my hopes in the Buckeyes…this could be their year! I’m hoping they’ll carry me all the way to my first team bracket victory.

I love this girl. And not just because she does my grocery shopping in the big city and carries back pounds of butter on the train for me.
