Breakfast with the Girls

This is a post I started writing on a Sunday about a week ago, so keep the dates in perspective. Thank you and here it is:

I was actually able to sleep in this morning. I didn’t have to wake up until 9:00 in the a.m. but even though I went to bed at 2, my body didn’t know what to do with all of the extra sleep and woke me up at 7:15 (the time I get up for class) and then again at 8:15 (the time I get up when I realize I have overslept for class). I suppose I should be thankful that my body is so concerned that I make it to class on time. At least it doesn’t hate me like that guy’s arm (House fans—you know what that’s about). Anywho, I decided to actually get up and write this post because who knows when I’ll get the chance to do it later.

This weekend has been so hectic what with it being my last weekend here and all. I have to start packing, I have final projects to complete, there was cooking to be done yesterday, and there are friends to hang out with before we all leave. And today is my last LateCHURCH until the fall. It is too sad for words.

On a happier note, I COOKED YESTERDAY. It was glorious. I had to get up so early to go to the grocery store and was on a budget and had a tiny kitchen to work in (tiny meaning “I have never seen a kitchen so small”), but Jenna had beautiful dishes and I got to try a bunch of recipes and (aaaaaaa!) I COOKED.

I attend a Bible study every Saturday morning, and last week I offered to cook breakfast for everyone. The girls all pitched in a few dollars and I was able to plan a menu, go to the store, and stay in the budget (this was an important one). It was lovely.

My friend Lauren, photographer extraordinaire, documented the morning with pictures.







I made apricot crisp, brown sugar bacon, spinach and onion frittata, biscuits, and mimosas. That brown sugar bacon was something else. Really, it didn't even matter that most of it was burnt.
