Last night was the March AHS Potluck. It was a slightly smaller gathering than usual, but still fun as always. And I made not one, but two dishes!
{Our entrées}
Our entrées consisted of my sour cream noodle bake and Elaine's pork fried rice and edamame. Helen bought split pea and ham soup from Fresh & Easy, but we all know I'm not a fan of anything involving peas. Although I did eat them in Elaine's fried rice. With ketchup! :P For dessert I made guava lemon cream cheese muffins. Helen brought strawberries, which complimented them nicely. Elaine also made pistachio pudding, but I obviously did not partake of it. Ew.
My ankle has definitely been getting better, but it's still pretty uncomfortable. For the most part it's okay if I'm just sitting, but today it gave me some grief even then. I'm so tired to limping around. It makes my other leg hurt -_- But I bought Bengay cream last Sunday and have been applying it twice a day, so hopefully my ankle will be back to normal soon.
Last Saturday I went to McD's with my mum to use one of our coupons. I got their crispy chicken club sandwich and I must say, it is not bad! I might get it again sometime. Impressive, McDonald's, impressive! I spent the rest of the day catching up on videos and articles that I was unable to watch/read while I was at "work." And then I napped because I was so tired. In addition to watching six TV episodes, I also napped on Sunday as well. I love taking naps.
Monday was exciting because I had a meeting with a HR recruiter and did some testing. She seemed pretty impressed with the results and promised to submit me to several different job openings. I am so grateful for her (she's already lined up two interviews for me this upcoming week)! Ran errands afterwards, which included paying my auto insurance. OUCH. In case it's not obvious to you, DON'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. You will pay for it for the next three years. Literally. And it's not fun. I watched He's Just Not That Into You that night. Guess what? I'm just not that into that movie. End of story.
And I baked on Tuesday! It was so exciting because 1. I was baking, 2. I was baking a cake and I've never baked a cake before, and 3. I was using my new springform pan! I made THIS. Crystal picked up a couple slices that night and I gave a couple slices to Duvien the next day. We went to Elite Restaurant for dimsum with Ha. It was my first time going to a dimsum place where they didn't have the carts going around. I liked it! It was much easier to just look through their menu (which thankfully had pictures) and check off the list which items we wanted. It was a bit pricier but I enjoyed it.
Apart from baking on three different occasions this past week (loved it!), this week was a lot of organisation. Going through my files. Organising my room. And oh my goodness, I finally filed my taxes! I went to Income Tax Express on Friday and it is finally done and over. I paid more than I expected to pay this year, but that's my fault since I procrastinated so much. But they were really nice and helpful and I'm getting more monies back than last year so I can't complain. And for the first time ever it was e-filed so I'm getting monies direct deposited! I am so excited for that. Is that really lame of me?
Yesterday I had lunch at McDonald's to use up our last coupon. Good times. And today, in addition to blogging, I also updated my food blog's look! So go over and check it out~ :)
