What's The Vegetarian Equivalent Of "Gobble, Gobble"?

I'm sitting here watching "Die Hard" and basking in the post-Thanksgiving glow that only copious amounts of food can provide. Food, mind you, that myself and my roommate prepared all on our own. The day began with some aaaaaaamazing French Toast with vanilla extract, cinnamon and powered sugar:


We then took a break to watch the Rifftrax version of "Jurassic Park" before camping out in the kitchen for about 2 hours to make a broccoli and cheese casserole, veggie friendly stuffing, asparagus, nibblets and sweet rolls:

And finally, pumpkin pie and a mocha latte with cinnamon and nutmeg:

All in all, despite that I did miss being with my family, it was a very successful Thanksgiving.

Can't wait to enjoy leftovers tomorrow.

Life as an Adult

So, I'm alive.

I just realized the other day that it had been awhile since I last updated this blog. Things have been busy up here; I've been working a lot (nearly 40 hours a week, thankfully) and generally just keeping up with day to day things when I'm not.

I have also come to realize that moving up here was the best thing I've ever done.

I love living in my own apartment and working to pay my own rent and bills.

I love learning how to cook.

I love having seasons; fall was AMAZING.

I love the people I work with and I'm incredibly thankful to have the job I have while I continue my search for a vocation.

Yeah, things are good here.

My roommate and I are planning a pretty rad Thanksgiving day breakfast/dinner for our first respective Thanksgivings away from our families. It's going to be difficult being away from everyone in Florida but it's still going to be great.

In less than a month I'll be headed to NYC to see Rammstein. Yeah, I'm still pretty excited about that.

I got nothing else right now.

Life is good.
