Typhoid, Bread, Knitting, and Pirates

Long time, no post. Well, lots has happened since I last posted. I sent in a job application to Google (!!), and am ready to send in a few more this afternoon. I have been immunized against polio (adult booster shot), know what to do if I'm licked by a wild dog, and have begun my week long oral typhoid vaccine. Exciting!

I hosted a dinner party last Friday for Candace, Daniel, and my sister. I made artichokes (first time!), carrot ginger soup, baked tofu, and challah. We had cherries for desert.

Joie, David's cousin, helped me make the challah earlier in the day. The recipe made 2 loaves so here you can see one loaf that I gave to my housemates. (From the left: Rob, Alexandra, Dave, and Randal.)



This is the loaf my friends & I ate.



(Peeking out from under the paper towel challah cover.)



Here is a beautiful setting of the table, and Candace and my sister are soooo excited about the food about to be served.



Also, because this is mostly knitting, Candace turns 22 on Friday and so I'm knitting her a scarf with the yarn my mom's friend gave to me for graduation.



This stuff is so cool. I love how the yarn is sometimes furry and sometimes not so it has those great stripes on the scarf.



Also, we're hosting a pirate party on Saturday. When taking photos to make e-flyers to advertise, we decided this wasn't scary ...



... but that this was.



Also, we took one with Bo the Space Pirate for good measure.
