DI Gems and Expensive Cheese

For $10, you can buy...

Both of these cute dresses at the DI!

or...this $10 Gruyere cheese to make Aelplurmagronen.

I'd say both are worth it.  

Chopped Champions

We have 1:30 church, so we decided to take advantage of Alexis's potatoes and my barely used spice rack. We found a mashed potato recipe that called for a plethora of spices, and whipped up some real lovely potatoes for the dinner party we hosted.

I felt like a Chopped Champion managing all of the dishes we were preparing.  Right before the crowd arrived for dinner, we were reheating our cold potatoes in the oven.  Then we had to switch them over to the microwave because the brownies arrived.  We were boiling corn, rotating the potato dish in the microwave, making gravy, minding the brownies, making sure everything stayed hot, and decoding our stoves faded labels.  We're pros.

This is Alexis on potato duty.

The tinfoil and bowl were tag-teaming it on the hot corn mission.

I'd say dinner was a pretty grand success.  And yes, there were other people there, we just don't have any good pictures of the group.  

Mmmmm.

Welcome to Apartment 10

I'm finally back in Logan, and I am thrilled!  My mom was nice enough to help me move up and get my fabulous new room and apartment organized.  Doesn't it look great?

 I'm already pretty fond of it, and I have yet to even sleep in my bed.

Also, it's pretty awesome that my roommate is Alexis, who has been an awesome friend since kindergarten.
More on how awesome my first day back was when I get some pictures back.
