A few Saturday's ago Alexandra and Mary Beth came over to cook and fix jewelry. However, before we could cook we had to go to Costco so that Mary Beth could buy two, yes TWO, of my favorite trash cans. Then, we came back to my place and made Spinach and Artichoke dip and my favorite Japanese dish 'Okonomiyaki'. Here's a picture of the dip:
I just got back from a long weekend in Tennessee where I was visiting my friend Amber and her family. I love going to visit them because they are fun to hang out with and I'm able to relax and just 'chill' when I'm with them. It doesn't hurt that they spoil me rotten. :-) This year, my birthday present was a quilt and 2 pillow cases handmade by Amber. These were her first attempt at quilting and I have to say that she's quite good. I definitely appreciate being the recipient of her first quilt! 
Getting ready for a trip can take just a couple of hours or months depending on the type of trip. While I know I can be ready to leave on the 6pm flight ... I definitely prefer the month long planning time line! As I prepare for my trip to Uganda I'm trying to figure out some protein rich snacks to bring with me since I don't eat meat anymore - right now I have almonds and peanut butter. Any suggestions for an easy to pack and healthy snack?
I also had to get my shots updated and order anti-malaria medications, luckily I only needed to get the Typhoid shot and was able to get it yesterday. In case you're interested ... this is what a typhoid organism looks like:
Well, that's it for now .. all my updates in one easy to read location! One more busy weekend and a bunch of happy hours to go before I leave next Thursday.
Stay tuned for more updates!
