Stuff Normal People Eat

I have a problem. What is it you ask? Well, I've got all sorts of boring stuff to say and I don't want any of you trying to beat me up for wasting your time. Are we agreed that you won't physically harm me for any boredom this post causes? Don't read any further if you can't agree to that.

You still here? Phew. That's a relief.

I'm done with law school. Which is nice because finals are always a lot of pressure. I want to do well, and I study hard. Maybe even too hard. Katherine saw very little of me for the last month or so as I was spending at least 12 hours at school most days. I think she's glad to have me back. Mostly. Graduation is on the 19th and my parents and Collin and Kim (my brother and sister-in-law) will be in town for the weekend. It will be great to celebrate my freedom with them.

Apparently Katherine bought me a graduation gift, which strikes me as somewhat odd. I think it's mostly because I hadn't even thought about receiving gifts when I graduate. I'm SO glad to have the pressure behind me; that seems like a gift in and of itself.

Also, I am compelled to admit that I am a law nerd, and wouldn't mind a fourth year of law school. Classes are much easier than the real world, other than those finals. But no use dreaming of years more in school, I need to get out into the real world and start paying off my debt.

So, the real question is: "What do I do with my time now?" I was thinking tonight about starting another blog. Not that I have the willpower or mental energy to do so, but it sort of sounded like a good idea. Katherine thought that I could call it "Stuff Normal People Eat." We've learned how to feed ourselves food that is the envy of Katherine's coworkers without putting in all that much time and effort. I'm so proud of my work, that I figured I'd share it with the Internet. Does the Internet care? No. And that's what is causing me to hesitate a little. Plus, I'm not sure I care for the extra work.

So, we were in the mood for some Asian food this week. One of our wedding gifts was a non-stick Wok that we LOVE, so we try to use it regularly. Since Sunday is the only day we know that we'll have a good chunk of time to make dinner, generally that's when we try to make the complicated recipes. Tonight it was Emeril's Chicken Stir-Fry with Green Beans. Allow me to HIGHLY recommend it. Fair warning, it's a little spicy. Too spicy for Katherine's palate, actually. Personally, I found it to be a relatively mild warmth that just enhanced the flavor. Other than that, I was a little surprised by the hint of sweetness in the chicken. Anyway, I highly recommend it.

I figured that I should include some photos of the food. Why? Because I think it's pretty.
