Wow, I really need to get some photos of our kitchen on here. We aren't quite finished yet and I bought the new floor tiles last weekend so perhaps when we get the floor done I will get some photos up. I swear I cleaned the kitchen 7 times this weekend, as we used the shit outta it. Thursday night I made citrus zucchini spaghetti and it was fresh, summery, and really good. Spaghetti was merely the noodle, no red sauce included.

I'm kind of obsessed with rookie cookie if you can't tell. And I feel like all I write about these days is what I had for dinner...hmm. I'm infatuated with using the kitchen (but not the doing the dishes).
We also had a noodle-less zucchini lasagna on Saturday night. My bff found the recipe from an Italian g-ma somehow. It was hearty and good. I also made a noodle-less zucc lasagna a week or so ago BUT it was in a tart pan with a tart crust. Sooo good. Recipe was from 101cookbooks.com A new favorite vegetarian cooking blog, ya know, now that I can cook and bake :) Ok, last food thing I'll talk about: I picked up some basil at the farmer's market on Saturday morning. 1/2 pound, $5. Score. Made pesto, 'tis good. The End.
T had a friend over for some trench diggin' on Saturday, because uhh...we're going to have sprinklers!! Finally. We will also hopefully have some grass in the next few weeks. I will be over the moon when my weekends are spent in the kitchen (duh) or reading (novels, not textbooks) or napping in the hammock. I think I can almost see the finish line.
I start school full time (no job included) August 25th and I still don't really think it's happening. T was insistent that I take 2 weeks off work before I start school to do some transitioning for this big life change. Time off...two weeks...to do what?!? Long story but in the end we agreed on 5 days. My last day at work is August 19th. I am really excited but a little nervous at the same time.
