Woohoo!

My cookbook got delivered this morning and I'm stoked! I used looking through it as a reward for studying. A few weeks ago I submitted my last lesson for the Independent Study course I've been taking for the last 10 months and now I'm really starting to study for the final, which I hope to request either tomorrow or Tuesday. I told myself that I could open the package when it came but that I couldn't really flip through it until I had reviewed two lessons worth of material. I pretty much spent the rest of the afternoon thumbing through the cookbook, looking at all the pictures and thinking about which recipes to try first. This coming week we'll be trying Beef with Snow Peas (which isn't from Our Best Bites, but still should be delicious) and we are super excited for it. I think we also may try Thai Peanut Noodles which I found in the cookbook! I'm way excited to go grocery shopping this weekend to buy some tasty things. I think I'll also buy the ingredients that I need for Strawberry Chocolate Nachos. I also think I'm going to try to remember to take pictures of some of the tasty food that I make. I feel like I've been blogging about food a lot, and not able to put pictures up that I've taken myself. So sorry if you don't like reading about food... that's kind of the fun/exciting thing going on here right now. That and my toe, but I'm not posting pictures of it (the bruising looks kinda cool though, I'll tell you that much).
