Getting Crazy with the Spices

So, it's Friday . . . and I'm not dressin' up and I got no where to go, so how about a little adventure says I?

Amidst doing laundry, I noticed that I was somewhat hungered... so when I came back, I did a little cooking and creating of my own. :]  And I came up with something delicious! (which seems to happen every once in a while)

What I used:

• Unclaimed/unmarked ground beef sitting in the back of our freezer
• Cream Cheese
• Random half package of guacamole seasoning which has been sitting on our spice shelf forever
• Water
• Rice
• Ranch Dressing
• Chopped Onions
• Mozzarella Cheese

I put the cheeses, the guacamole seasoning, the onions, a little bit of water and the ground beef in a pan and just . . . cooked it.  Then I *attempted* to make rice with a little bit of ranch dressing in it to give a little zingy do.  (Okay, side note: Rice is my arch-nemesis.  Apparently, I didn't live with my Asians for long enough because I still to this day can not cook it right!  I always, always, always cook it too long or not long enough.  Plus, it's so bland, I never have any idea what to do with it.  I bought a small bag of it this last shopping trip because I wanted to have another go at making it awesome-tastic and so far the score is Rice: 4 Leigha: 0.)  So, the rice, of course, didn't come out quite how I wanted it to (it's more like one big mushy mess), but it all still tastes delicious!!

Isn't beef glorious?? :] Sorry, Chik-fil-a cows; just know that I still love you (different kind of love).

So, this was after I ate some . . .  I forgot to take a picture first :)

Overall Score: A

Also, pics from the most recent pizza night!! (I know you were all waiting with baited breath for these)

This is Baked Potato Pizza- SOO good!  We even stuffed the crust :]

Everyone's favorite pizza by far- Chicken Spinach Alfredo Pizza (My own personal creation :] )

All while listening to Disney music :]

I'm Gonna Go Home and Eat Some Cheerios

For the first time in a good month or two, I have Friday night off from both jobs!!  Yay!!!!!  I got out of class about an hour ago and declared I was going home to eat cheerios and there was nothing anyone could do to stop me. :]

On a different note . . .
School is going well.  Despite the lack of effort from my TA, I managed to pull off a B on my biology test.  I am thoroughly enjoying no class on Tuesdays, although I normally end up working all day (which I'm actually okay with, surprisingly).  I'm doing pretty well in all of my class, especially considering how busy I am! (No, really- it's crazy 'round here)

Work is also going well.  I am working on finishing certifications for all the stores in the food court and it's kind of crazy and insane, but part of me is feeling really chill right now and okay with all that I have to get done by Christmas. (Personally, I think it's because of the cheerios . . . ) My other job is also well.  It's the easiest job on the face of the Earth, so I don't know how it could not be going well, anyway.  Waffle Wednesday is coming up, which is the hardest part of my job, but I'm pretty sure we can deal. ;]

Church is going marvelous (As it always should be).  I was called as the Ward Music Director, so I've been working on lining up special musical numbers for the rest of the semester.  My pianist and chorister are absolutely amazing, and we just got our choir director, so I'm totally stoked to get the ball rolling!

My roommates are great!  Gail got a boy (whom I approve of), I rarely see Jessica, but that's because she's always with Taylor or getting ready to get hitched, and Christina is so nice and so much fun!  I am excited for the rest of this semester!

Side Note:  Tonight! Is! Pizza! Night! (Homemade! From Scratch!)

Fairfarren all!
