Tonight I was inspired to cook something a little special for myself, a nice little treat.
So, I took the ham steak out of the freezer and defrosted it. I got out the trusty KD and then realized my 2- burner stove would be a bit crowded with a pot and a frying pan, so I decided to do it microwave style.
I really got into puttering around my kitchen. I even opened a big juice jug to be extra special. I set the table, all the while, following my directions ever-so-carefully.
The end result?
It left much to be desired. My steak hadn't defrosted properly, so it was tough in the middle, plus I had had the heat on too high, and scalded it. A word to the wise: Don't nuke KD. It was hard and tough and chewy, unlike the normal wonderful stovetop method.
So, I ate it. Unfortunately, I still have half the KD as leftovers, which I am too frugal to throw away. Perhaps, tomorrow night, I should make something nice to go with my leftovers.
I also took a break from studying today (well, I did study too, just not a lot). I read a cute little Love Inspired book, and really enjoyed myself. The break from the textbook was nice.
I am wearing: my flannel purple PJ pants with snowmen on them, my pink shirt (still on from church), a dove necklace, a white, blue, and pink cardigen, black socks, and blue slippers.
Tomorrow I am planning to: Go to my sociology class, demand to find out what my placement is, visit David in the hospital by my house, take back a library book, buy milk, possibly see my mom and grandpa, and study.

Have I mentioned how much I love your Grandpa? And he's really Chris's new most favourite person. Every time he talks in church, Chris gets all excited. And your Grandpa gave us a voucher for the ferry, to come out and visit him! I'm going to help him research a biography of his grandfather. We missed him in church today.
And do you also have an oven, with that two-burner stove? If you don't, when you have some money, invest in the sort of toaster oven that has temperature controls and can act as a small oven. If I had to make a choice over which got the stove-top -- ham steak or KD -- I'd choose KD. Then I'd do the ham steak in the oven.
But we learn things when we move out. Meg passed on this "I've live on my own longer than you" wisdom when we moved out: don't freeze mayo. That was her big lesson.
And thank you for the pictures! I put one up on my site.
I do have a toaster oven, I'm just a bit nervous of trying out a completely new appliance.
And Grandpa will be back to church with you on Sunday.
By the way: David's in the hospital? How is he?
He had breathing problems- a combination of athsma (which hadn't been diagnosed), allergies, and a touch of pnemonia. He's doing much better now, and the doctor let him out yesterday.
