Cooking class conundrum

Image
By
I need your help. I'm feeling like I've been slightly less (read not at all) social in Dubuque since I moved here. For those of you not in the know, that was 3 years ago June 5-ish. I was never one for much of a social life (again read...mostly not at all), but I feel like it's my duty to get out of my apartment/work and interact with people. Now I get out of my place on weekends in Dubuque a lot, but it's mostly to coffee shops and parks, i.e. places where I am alone.

So after 3 years, I'm going to be good and do something. I've decided that something is to do a cooking class. Me plus cooking? Perfect, right? The local kitchenware/cooking store does classes. And that's where you come in. I can't decide which one to do. I'm thinking I could still get into the one next Thursday. Or there's one coming up May 24.

Next Thursday is Spring Indian Cooking, Thursday May 12th 6p-9p. $35.00 Enjoy the wonderful flavors of Indian cuisine with Sunil.

And my other option: Paella, Tuesday May 24th 6p-9p. $35.00 Paella is a Spanish dish of saffron rice which includes a variety of meats, seafood and vegetables. Menu: Traditional Paella, Vegetable Paella, and Flan.

So blog readers, which is it?? I can't decide. Next Thursday is still before graduation and could be a bit crazy, but less time to wimp out and not go and I do have a thing for Indian food. But I might enjoy it more if I'm not stressed about everything going on if I go to the paella one May 24. Also, I can't say I've ever had paella, but I've been super curious to try it.

Vote (early and often) in the comments.

    Um... I pick both (but mostly Indian food because paella has seafood so you won't be able to make that for me later). Oh, didn't you know its all about me? LOL.

    Oh gawd! Paella is THE BEST. But I also love Indian food (I'm actually going to make a curry tonight, I think)....I'm with Amy, you should do both if it's in your budget!

    Paella is AMAZING. That's my vote. You'll enjoy it more too if you're not as stressed, which it sounds like the Indian night might be.

    Paella. You're doing this for fun, so avoid the pre-graduation stress.

April weekends

By
I just solidified plans for this weekend today when it hit me: my April weekends are all over the place, and well so very me. Keeping with my new reality of being around Dubuque much more often than I have in the past, I'll be here for 3 of the 4 weekends. Ok, and by here I mean mostly here. I'll explain below. April 6-7 Julien Dubuque International Film Festival --I went to the festival last year with Gretchen. We had so much fun! We ended up seeing a different set of films than we originally thought, but it was still a blast. I was lucky enough to attend the Beloit International Film Festival with Kyle and his family last month, and this year he's coming down to spend the weekend watching films with me. Plus Nicole will be around for the weekend so she's coming along too! April 13-14 Twins game with Amy--We've got tickets to the Twins-Mets game on Sunday so I'll be driving back up to The Cities (I was just there over St. Patrick's Day weekend). I have...

About me

By
I feel like it's only fair I do a little bit of an intro for my new BEDA buddies: Christina , Autumn , and Nicola . For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, a bunch (read over 200) of us participating in Blog Every Day in April signed up to have Maureen Johnson (the Churchill of BEDA as Alex Day called her) to match us up with BEDA buddies for moral support for the rest of the month. What we do with these buddies is up to us. I'm not quite sure yet what we'll do, if anything other than comment on each other's blogs. But I feel like I do the least on my blog to give an idea of who I am. So this post is hoping to rectify that. So here goes! I'm a midwestern born and bred. At 24, I've never lived more than 200 miles (a 3 hour drive) from the city I was born in. However, my parents threw us in the van and took us on driving vacations all over the country, where I fell in love with history and roadtrips. These two loves served me well in colleg...

Booklist

By
I found this in my RSS feed this morning and thought it was a nice way to start the day. It is a list created by the National Endowment for the Arts, and a blogger writes that they claim most American adults have read only six of these hundred books. I've read 23, but about half have been for school; however, some of those I chose to read for a class assignment. :) Here’s what you do: 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Italicize those you intend to read. 3) Underline the books you LOVE. (Or in my case turn them green.) 4) Reprint this list on your own blog. 1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen 2 The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien 3 Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte 4 Harry Potter series - JK Rowling 5 To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee 6 The Bible (um, how many people have actually sat down to read the Bible? Like, straight through? I'm counting it because I read at least a chapter every night.) 7 Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte (I own it, but haven't read ...
