broiling...

at home, i broil food all the time. it is the quickest and easiest way to cook something. i broil vegetables, chicken, and lots of other things, but in my apartment, whenever i put the broiler on, the fire alarm goes off.

tonight i was trying to make some crispy vegetables, and i set off the alarm probably about 5 times. there was not even smoke in the air. my neighbors are probably thinking i am crazy, because last night i found out the walls are extremely thin. i'm surprised i haven't heard much from the others. maybe i just have my music up so loud i can't hear anyone else over my noise. anyway, cooking is not going the way i thought it was going to go.

i tried to make soup last night. it was going to be very tasty... but then i poured in the garlic salt instead of sprinkling it in, and it was gross! i tried to drain it, and it didn't work at all. the taste is even worse because i decided to add salsa that i wanted to get rid of to my soup. i didn't like the salsa because it tasted like shit... so why i decided to add it to my soup, i have no idea. but i did. and it ended up tasting like the salsa. i ended up draining all of it and freezing it. i'll cook it with chicken, and hopefully the taste will dissipate and end up being yummy. nevertheless, i'll be eating it.

life without facebook is difficult-- i am constantly wanting to go online, but i can't. my roommate has my password and i can't ask her for it less than 24 hours later. i'm going to ask for it this weekend, but then next week, she's back at it. studying is going okay. i figured out that i can get an okay grade in my class if i get 100% on the rest of my tests. i'm not sure that will happen, but i'm going to try. it's going to get better, and i can do it.
