Today I helped my friend, Josh, move into his new apartment down the street (since EFS is ending a lot of people have had to move out into other dorms or apartments). And,
woah watch out, he has a kitchen. I haven't stood in a kitchen since moving here... A house warming party was in order. So we walked 12 blocks to the nearest Safeway and bought the classic easiest-to-make meal items. Not wanting to carry the heavy box of groceries all the way back down to his apartment (we brought our own small moving box since most stores in Seattle charge extra for bags--go green or go home), we just happened to come upon a shopping cart that we gladly made use of. But then we realized, in order to cook we would need things like pots and pans and cooking sheets and wooden spoons. So after dropping the food off, we caught a bus downtown to the nearest Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
We started making garlic breadsticks, pasta, tomato sauce, and a salad, Sam, Nick, and Lily came over, Sam made guacamole, and oh did I love cooking in a real kitchen instead of using the lounge microwave and my room's mini fridge.
I'd say the house warming party was a success. We ate food. We played Catch-Phrase. What more do you need?
(We all have been very much into playing games every night....for hours we'll play Egyptian Rat Screw, Kemps, President, Curses, Catch-Phrase, etc etc etc. Who doesn't love game night every night?)
Yay for my first home cooked meal in nearly a month!
