Kitchen Experiments

I can cook! Kind of. I mean it's nothing fancy and tends to be carb heavy (lots of pasta and bread), but I am officially making my own food! Sorry I'm not sorry that this post is a bit self-congratulatory. Sadly, I didn't take pictures of my puppy chow, poached egg, scrambled eggs, grilled cheese, experimental quesadillas, and some other stuff, but I am still able to present you with delicacies that were  thoroughly enjoyed by moi.

Dream on

If only :)

Bath

Saturday, today, was the day I took it upon myself to visit Bath. It did not turn out how I expected it to. For one, I didn't have enough time to make it to the Fashion Museum. Two, I wasn't able to magically stumble onto the locations that I wanted to see. I'll start from the beginning. This morning was nice, walking through Cardiff. It wasn't raining, though it was still gray. There was a mini market going on in the city center, so maybe when the weather gets warmer there will be more stalls. I'll have to go back because that could be fun to go to. I managed to make it to the train station, find the correct platform, and board the right train, getting off at the correct stop: Bath Spa station. From there, I proceeded to get lost.

Pancakes & Caesar!

"Pancakes"

I realize I may have sounded a tad bitter in my last update,
but that is easily explained. See, actually experiencing this much rain is not even remotely comparable to just hearing about how much it rains in Cardiff. I also miss quality quesadillas, but I am slowly moving past this obstacle. Perhaps I should have gone to Italy (or Mexico considering my

TBD

I wish they had Mexican blend cheese here. Muenster as well, but mostly Mexican blend just for my quesadillas. I've been using shredded cheddar as I'm a bit apprehensive to try the Welsh cheeses, and the results have been eh. And I just discovered that pretzel sticks are nonexistent! No whole grain or wheat bread either. Just whole meal, which I've never heard of before and in my ignorance, am going to say it's wheat. It also rains here, a lot. I wish they'd learn how to properly lay down stones so that when you step on them, they don't move and squirt water up onto your jeans getting you all muddy. Did I mention they don't have pretzel sticks? Anyways, now that my most pressing complaints are out of the way, I feel as though I can discuss my week thus far. Nothing

A week of firsts

Well, how do I put this... I certainly have a lot of free time here. For every class that I'm taking this semester, we only meet once a week for about fifty minutes. My language

Disclaimer: Not actually my food

classes are two hours, though. It's a very strange schedule, but it's nice. For example, I have Wednesdays off, so the possibilities are endless! I can do my laundry, go to Tesco, maybe the library... I will eventually start exploring Wales. Cardiff is a pretty compact area, so it'll be fun to visit different places. It might just be me, but I think W&M places more of an emphasis on academics than Cardiff. Anyways, this week it has rained just about everyday, except
