the art of eating in

I'm in Des Moines this weekend again. Sitting in my parents' kitchen, writing this post on my new iPhone. :)
The reason for this visit was to take the GMAT test this morning, which I fully expected to completely bomb/fail and spend the rest of my weekend mourning and wallowing in sorrow. Instead, to my very happy surprise, I scored much, much higher than expected with a 710! I aced the verbal section with a score at the 98th percentile. I think I'm still in general disbelief about this. Not trying to brag, but for a lady with seemingly few successes in life lately... I feel I've earned the right to tell the world about my awesomeness on this one day!

In regards to the post title, I want to mention a new book I started reading this week, "The Art of Eating In", by Cathy Erway. I've really been enjoying the stories about cooking adventures, and it reminds me of a few experiences I've had in the kitchen. It also has some really great recipe ideas that I want to try. And a desire to visit NYC (I still haven't been!!)

Today I met Bethany for delicious coffee @ Mars Cafe, and we watched a movie at her house (I must mention I partook in some tasty chili and cornbread, thanks to her mama - yum yum!)

Now for a night of pleasantries and celebration!
