The Adventure I call THAI PEANUT "STIR FRY"

I found and adapted a lovely recipe from epicurious called Thai Peanut Salad, just made mine a warm stir fry. I first had it with my friend Jane and decided to try it again. So one Saturday Rachel (my room mate) and I cleaned the house thoroughly and decided to eat supper together. I set the table... 

And started to prepare the food. We put a pan on the stove to get warm, and chopped some veggies. About 5 minutes later I put the chicken in the pan and heard no sizzle... not a good sign. I took the pan off and turned the heat up to see if the element would get hot... Nothing.

You see, neither Rachel or I realized that if you put the oven on to self-clean you can't use the oven (obviously) OR the stove (not-so-obviously). so we were stuck with an stove that didn't work and a prepped stir fry to make...

After much thought and scheming we decided to use the grill and wrap the veggies in tin foil. Eureka! But, no tin foil to be found in our house... Neighbors? Charlie and Marlene: In Puerto Rico... Andy and Amie... Dinner at the school... Kevin and April: Not Home (forget where) Anne and Doug: vacation... Juanita: Too far. Main Hall: I went to the school's kitchen and stole (no - I got permission) some tin foil. we wrapped the veggies and grilled it all...

Luckily I had bought Vermicelli noodles to accompany the stir fry and not Rice.

We boiled water in out electric kettle and voila! Cooked Vermicelli.

The veggies turned out wonderfully...

And we sat down to a DELICIOUS meal:

The End. 

Guess What?!?!?

You will never believe what happened the other day.
I was in the kitchen putting things away and my friend, Sharlie who was doing dishes after supper came in i told me she had the most exciting news. I responded with a rather uninterested "okay" and continued with my work. She said "you have to look at me" so I looked at her and she said "I FOUND YOUR SHOE!". yup that's right the shoe i kicked of the ferry dock! yes, indeed that very same shoe floated down the beach past Overbury (a b&b on the island) and landed on the beach, where Sharlie found it while taking a much longer walk than usual. And the most amazing part about the whole story is... it doesn't even look like it took a swim in the ocean. It looks exactly like the other one (minus the sand). YAY!
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Shoe overboard

Hello everyone!
The weather here is amazing! yesterday I sat outside while I worked on my assignments, on a picnic bench under an apple tree by the the cow pasture (i kid you not). It was divine. nad today the funniest thing happened.
As I stood with my friends waiting to get on the ferry i was contemplating out loud about standing on one o f wooden poles that the dock is attached to and doing a karate kid kick when i decided to imitate it. little did i realize that it probably wasn't wise since i was wearinfg loose ballet flats and as my foot flew up my shoe flew off did several flips in the air above my head before landing with a definite plunk in the ocean behind me.
=( (sorry mommy).
well that's the story this week ttfn.

Bungy Jumping

You can see my bungy jumping video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fHvoQMk5hM
the actual jumping ends after around 43 seconds and you can hear all my friends talking about how i jumped feet first and how they wouldn't want to jump that way. . . and how the girl who is recoring thinks she not doing very well. . . blah blah blah. But you can also hear my blood curdling screams.

guess what i did!?!?!?!?!?!?

I WENT BUNGY JUMPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it was absolutely terrifying, but still fun. i will put up a video of me jumping soon, kay?
yay, one minute i was standing on the edge of a one hundred and forty foot bridge talking to one of the employees, he is really patient, who kept telling me it was okay to be scared and trying to calm me down and the next minute i jumped and was screaming and falling through the air. hehehe

Team Initiatives Course

These are some pictures of my team and i on the Team Initiatives Course this is The Wall, we had to get al 14 members of our team from the ground over the wall as quickly as possible. it's about 12 feet high. we did it in 1 minute and 27 seconds!
at this station we raced another team ontwo planks of wood with ropes tied to them and the whole team had their left foot on one and their rigth on thother and we had to move together kind of like a three legged race.
