Great last minute meal

I just had to share the recipe I came up with tonight. First of all, I have spent about 12 hours each day for the last three days writing papers (what a great weekend to look longingly out the windows), so today I just HAD to make a good meal.

"Honey, you're a jerk" chicken sandwich:
  • Chicken Breast
  • Lime
  • Pyramid Curve Ball summer seasonal blonde ale with Lemon
  • Jamaican Jerk sauce
  • Red leaf lettuce
  • Honey mustard yogurt dressing
  • Pita
Put lemon slices in beer, drink 1/2, forget about it until it is slightly warm.
"Flash Fry" chicken breast in lemon-infused warm beer on high heat.
Bring heat down once all liquid is gone. Add Jerk sauce and a few slices of lime.
Grill until done, squeezing lime over it and basting with jerk sauce occasionally.
Serve in pita with honey mustard yogurt dressing and red leaf lettuce....and a cold beer :)

27 days...worry, worry!

I have been neglecting my blog, I am sorry. But I have an excuse: trying to find somewhere to live in Enterprise for the summer. This has been a task and a half on its own! But anywho, I am heading over there this weekend to try and secure a living arrangement, or to pick out a nice campground (joking, hopefully).
Honestly, I'm not too sure why I am writing this blog post right now. I should be cleaning up my room, or doing some work on my field project, but I just need to write out my thoughts. Purge it onto you, my readers (even though I doubt you exist...anyone out there?).
  1. How am I going to make friends? I know literally NO ONE out there. This will be the first time I am going to be out there without a wingman by my side, no friends to go meet others with. I am flying solo. Yeah, I'm excited, but I am scared witless! Many of you know how much of a social retard I am when I get nervous. As soon as I meet someone, I'll open up pretty quickly and all, but I suck arse at that first, "hey!"
  2. This will be my first time living alone, no roommates, nada. No internet, either. I'm not too worried about that, just wondering how I'll waste my free time.
  3. Will I be ready for my job? I know that I am being hired as a student employee, so I am not going to be expected to know it ALL just yet, but I can't help but feel like I am going to mess it up. All I can do is give it my all, be receptive, and take criticism I suppose.
  4. Related to number one, what if everyone I meet turns out to be creepers. I am a creeper magnet, no joke. We will see, plus I am pretty good at giving the cold shoulder and standing my ground...so don't try me, creeper McCreeperston.
  5. Of course, what if I get lost? I do a pretty good job getting myself turned around in Eugene and Corvallis, which I have lived in a combined total of 21 years. No one in my contacts list will know how to help me get from point A to point B 400 miles away in the middle of nowhere. Hopefully I can find a really good map, or a really nice young cowboy.
Sorry, didn't mean to have a spew-session, but...hmm, yeah, I did mean to.
