Mmmm… I’m still tasting the delightful tingle of Mexican food on my tongue. It’s been my job to handle making dinner since my Mom has run off to Seattle. Tonight was Taco Night, since I’ve been craving it for a while. I even thought so far in advance that I took the meat out to thaw way ahead of time. 🙂 I spiced it all up big-time with celantro, garlic, onion, cumin, mustard powder stuff, chili powder, salsa, and even a hint of my favorite secret – orange peel. There was something else, but I forgot. Anyway, my cooking experiment went well. So well, in fact, that my Dad ended up eating three tacos and he usually hates spicy food. Mmmm. I suppose the final test will come in a few hours to see if any of us have upset stomachs. 🙂 But, I think that will be avoided. I was very careful. I even double-drained the meat to make sure it didn’t get all greasy and nasty. I need a cool apron now to celebrate. Maybe I’ll go design one on CafePress.
I haven’t done anything terribly constructive today. I just wrote a lot. I worked on a screenplay for a while, just editing it. And then on that sequel to my silly fan fiction. It’s a lot more fun to write now that it barely has anything to do with Harry Potter, hehe. It’s much more like a suspense/thriller/mystery than a fantasy book. Fun, fun, fun. Today’s writing took a while longer than expected because I had to write a large part of it in German, and I had to do some research on the German Navy. The research wasn’t so bad, I went to the Deutschen Marine website and was able to read it well enough to find the information I needed right away without wandering at all. I’m just about convinced I need to learn to speak German, since I can already read it.
And if I learn it I found out I could go to most German universities for free. That may be an answer to my problems. Of course, that would mean I wouldn’t get to go to London, but I could always spend my summers there. But, maybe I’m counting on too many Ifs with the Germany plan – I don’t even speak German yet. And as far as I know, my German accent could be crap. For some reason I always end up sounding French, which I’m sure neither the Germans nor the French would appreciate. 🙂
