Things We've Learned This Week

-Frozen chicken does not cook easily in the oven.

-Dinner parties are fun but require a lot of work.

-Cooking is way more exciting when you enjoy the space you're cooking in!

-Having someone else make dinner for you tastes better than you making it for yourself.

-Home cooked meals don't even compare to those you get at restaurants. (Unless you've tried cooking with frozen chicken.)

(Yes, we have thoroughly been enjoying the kitchen.)

-It's not as dark when we get up in the morning which means the days are getting longer and Spring is on its way!

-Dogs with cones on their heads are extremely dangerous to legs, tables, corners, walls, doors, chairs, couches, cars, etc.

-Dogs with cones on their heads are also pretty funny looking!

-Fresh flowers (especially tulips) brighten any indoor space!

-I'm not a huge fan of chocolate (I would choose vanilla over chocolate any day), but, for some reason, a lot of people think that I am.

-In China, the government imposes 'internet censorship' which regulates what their country can and cannot find on the internet. For example, in China you are not allowed to access facebook. (Though we also learned there are ways around this.)

-Craigslist has helped us sell a ton of our wedding stuff, and we are now down to a very small pile.

-Amy is coming to visit in three weeks!

-The birds don't really care (at all) for our new kind of bird seed, which, by the way, was recommended as 'the best out there'.

-Speaking of birds, the red-bellied woodpecker, which we've seen but not been able to snap a photo of, doesn't, in fact, have a red belly at all. It has a red head. This is why it is so difficult for Brian and I to identify our feathery friends.

-Good books are hard to find but finding a good one makes trudging through all the not-so-good ones worth it.

-A sliced banana with a little bit of vanilla ice cream and even a smaller bit of chocolate syrup is literally one of the best desserts ever!

Quite an intuitive week, if I do say so myself!
