Nope, not basketball. Yes, attempting to finish up the semester. Although there is still a little over a month before classes get out, we are already feeling the pressure of finishing up projects and papers. I even had a 2 hour presentation I had to give yesterday. Thank goodness for YouTube and random clips from Ghostbusters.
February 26 (Sunday): Dr. Pepper Roast with the Bells
This week I decided to be adventurous and make great meals every night -- as much as that was the goal, it was SOOO much food that we only made two things this week and it lasted us the whole time. For multiple meals. Every day. Sunday I got up and cooked a roast in Cherry Dr. Pepper (I think I might start posting my recipes as well... later today when I get home). We knew that it was going to be too much food so we invited our friends, the Bells, over for dinner. Although it had been in the crockpot for most of the day, the roast did not easily tear apart. We are thinking that maybe it got overcooked? It was still delicious though.
February 27 (Monday): Corn Chowder
Meal two for the week was corn chowder, a recipe from Brandon's sister that is from their mother. Brandon and I both worked on making the soup together, and barely had a pot to fit all of the soup in to cook it! Maybe I'll have to look into getting a larger pot for special occasions like this.
March 1 (Thursday): Psych
Brandon's brother, Bryce, texted Brandon this really cryptic message -- "Cause of death: Diabetes. I kid, he exploded". We both looked at that and were a bit confused. Then we searched it and realized that the new episode of Psych was available online (as a way to reduce our distractions during the school year, we did not hook up our cable... movies are still a good distraction though). So at our established 9:00 curfew for homework ending, we watched it.
March 2 (Friday): "Beauty & Belief", Papa Murphy's

Although we don't usually go to campus on Fridays because neither of us have class, I had to go because of a group meeting this morning and Brandon was so good to tag along. There was a new exhibit at the Museum of Art about Islamic art and I dragged Brandon along but we didn't stay long because his knee was hurting pretty bad (Brandon is taking a Brazilian Ju Jitsu class this semester and someone knocked his knee a few weeks ago and it hasn't been 100% since). That night Bryce and Makinsey came over for Papa Murphy's pizza, lemon cookies, chocolate and cookie dough ice cream, and Gauntlet Legends on the N64.
March 3 (Saturday): "The Ides of March" with the Bells
Tonight we headed over to the Bells to watch "The Ides of March" with them. Although a political movie about all the negative works that go on behind the scenes, I really enjoyed it. It's sad that politics works that way, but it really happens with all the inner workings to get your competition to not have the advantage as much as possible. The political ideologies were irritating at first, but I decided to ignore them and just follow the storyline; Brandon was irritated with the political ideals and he didn't enjoy it as much.
March 6 (Tuesday): Cream Cheese Pie
Here in Provo, Macey's holds cooking classes during the week. You show up, they teach you how to make a specific meal, and then you get to eat that food! This time it was a cream cheese pie and blackberry ice cream. It was really nice to not have to actually make the treat but get to enjoy the hard work. The instructor was this nerdy guy, totally into physics and computer science, but he was really entertaining. Because of his love of physics, he would explain all these different scientific things about how ice cream is made, and why the ice cream maker was made of specific materials, but do it while being nervous the whole time.
March 7 (Wednesday): Spoiled Girl with a Clean Apartment
Yesterday was a bit of a stressful day with my two hour presentation and being on campus from 8 to 6:30, but I came home to a bunch of surprises from Brandon and Bryce. I was joking with my friend Stephanie earlier that it would be great if I got home and dinner was made. I got home and the boys had cleaned the kitchen and bathroom, and Brandon put away our laundry (recently it has been just sitting clean in the hampers until it all disappears and its time to do laundry again), and Bryce made dinner. So sweet and such a big help!
