Today is...

Today is Feb 4th 2010, and for some reason everything today just angered me. ): How sad.

To begin with I had a midterm this morning at 10am and so I stayed up late (3:30am-ish) to study for it... and woke up early as well to study just a little bit more just in case of course. o3o... I think that's what sets me off; lack of sleep. Anyways so did that and it wasn't all that bad at least. Went home and took a nap before my next class; painting. Of course the nap didn't help me stay awake but it was at least a bit refreshing. So I went in to start on a project but could only get so far because the school store didn't have any more Masonite boards for the students so I could only work on my preliminary sketches, and they only come in on Monday so I can't work on it this weekend either... ;_; During class I was texting Lee (Shhhhh.... (; ) and turns out our friend Cindy didn't like this one place that we want to move in... both close and cheap... I'm starting to just get a little peeved at this search; but I won't get into details (: Came back home to see that Lee had left for Toronto this weekend so I only had to make dinner for one today and this is what I came up with: Pasta with a homemade Pesto. ^_^

Originally I was looking all over for a recipe for one only to forget the recipe at home when we went grocery shopping with my brother Andrew yesterday. Lol. Turns out there was a recipe inside the package of basil that I bought! This is off the top of my head so bare with me?

Pesto:
45 mL Toasted Pine nuts
2 cloves Medium sized Garlic
40g Package of Basil
1/2 C Grated Parmesan Cheese
35-50 mL Olive Oil

1. Take off the stems of the Basil and loosely chop it.

2. Put together in the food processor/ mortar and pestle all the ingredients and blend together.

Ta dah! Except I didn't have either a food processor or a mortar and pestle but we did have this other contraption... Won't go into that; it was a huge pain to use as well as clean. ):

Well, I'm going to end this on a good note; I did well in my first accounting assignment, yay! (:
