in fact, it's not the only thing i've made in the last week. for the easter celebrations with the cousins, i made an orange creamsicle fruit dip that looks like this:
and tastes like this:
AND, i made cream cheese corn with bacon:
many factors have combined to incite this strange behavior... i've been home since march 25th and won't be leaving again until april 20th, my roommate has been on spring break and i've had the house to myself for over a week, and there was a holiday involving a meal.
this is the first time i have had more than a few waking hours to myself in, i don't even know how long. and despite the fact that i've been sick for days with another cold, just having the house to myself for a little while has been so energizing and invigorating and fan-freaking-tastic.
in addition to all the use i'm putting my kitchen to, i've managed to complete a number of tasks that i have been meaning to get to for ages. by 9am last saturday morning i had started and finished my taxes, cleaned the floors and made the previously mentioned creamsicle dip in preparation for sunday's celebration. i cannot remember the last time i was that productive, usually spending my limited time at home in my bed, watching tv, trying to get caught up on sleep and energy levels.
even though i was at work all week, i feel like i had my own little spring break. me and the dogs. :)
