Well today's cooking was not that experimental I just made Sheperd's Pie for dinner, which is just... something I'd never cooked before and that I'd only ever had at my hostfamily's.
So it could be called Cultural Adaptation Cooking, because, being quite a simple recipe (make bolognese sauce, make mashed, put the mashed over the bolognese in an oven tray, cover with cheese, grill) there was not much place for experimentation.
The reason why I'm specially happy about it is that in S.'s words, it was actually a good Sheperd's Pie.
Apart from that... the sky is cloudy! Oh joy! At last! We have had such sunny and warm weather lately, and... it was nicce the first couple of days, but I was starting to get annoyed. On the other hand, everybody loves clear skies, so the loveliness of the weather brought lots of awesome social gatherings, mostly in the form of barbecues. That was very enjoyable indeed!
So I went to E.'s house yesterday for a D&D BBQ and it was the most fun ever like! And her house is amazing, both the inside (I expected that) and the outside and the surroundings! It is amazing an amazing place, with the terrace over the creek, with its fish and its plants, and all the surrounding trees and bushes, the birds flying around (apparently whispering "eejit, eejit") and the star covered sky when night fell.
I discussed it with M. this morning and we decided we'll kick them away and keep the house for us when we get a driver's licence and a car :P
Don't know, everything's just great.
It's probablyMerrily's doing.
Didn't I tell you? She's our part time cat, with part time kittens, Merrily Murphy.
P.S.: We just made a shopping list three post-its long...

D&D, so
Hm...
So the last two D&Ds have been particularly awesome, and not only because E. was back there, but also because they're just a bunch of nice, fun people and because I'm getting used to them (well, yeah, I take my time, so what? ) and I'm getting to actually draw there too.
Anyway the other day was very nice and I got to hang out with E. before (and also afterwards... I hope he got home safe, by the way, I never asked... ), and K. is just unfairly talented and A. is so fun and whatever. I know you knwo, but I absolutely love D&Ds.
Here are some of my drawing of the last ones, by the way!

I'm very sorry about the quality of the photos. I could photoshop them into something decent, but I think I rather moan about how I have neither a photo camera or a scaner. "I wish I had a good camera or a scaner so I could get nice enough picturees of my drawings :( "
I think there's a few more new drawings somewhere (most probably the big pad) but I'm not going to get off my rocking chair to get them... some other day!

The kitchen smells of a kitchen.
A lovely light mixture of coffee, herbs, soap, and chicken soup.
I've been cooking a lot these days, and quite successfully too, I dare say! It makes me really happy when after a lot of guesswork (because cooking still involves a lot of guesswork for me) I manage to get my granny's soup or my mom's chicken stew.
And the thing is... it's hard to cook if it's just for yourself. That's why I hadn't really done it beore M. moved in, since I cooked for K. a few times but then she wouldn't eat it and... well, I stopped doing it anyway. But M. loves food xD so it's great to cook dinner for her too.
And every single day it is fun to set the window instead of the table and to climb onto it and to eat there. It's our little everyday thrill (as if we got any though...).
Anyway, my point is that my kitchen smells like a kitchen and I love it!
On a completely unretated note [I'm awesome] getting to get used to my new bedroom. I still don't like it and it doesn't feel like mine yet and I don't have enough space for all my stuff and everything seems to be in the wrong position and I can't sleep, but at least I can tell when it's daytime and when not. I like that.
I also stopped opening M.'s bedroom door everytime I want to get into my room.
And that's it about my routine. However...
Last Saturday, it was s.'s birthday party and we obviously were very enthusiastic about going (you get the most amazing compilations of people in that house, you really do :) ) but it was really late by the time we managed to get there and then we needed to leave super early because we were hosting the Spanish Summer Party in Cyprus Avenue. But! it was actually quite nice since I met two very lovely people there (appart from the always cheerful L.', and S.' and some other nice people) and they are like people with whom I would actually enjoy to hang out (because I'm not any picky or anything, you see ;) ): they're L.'' and B.
Now, I was going to also comment on last D&D because it was super fun, but I think I'll do it in another post so that I can also put some photos of the drawings I've made there lately and so.
