Two weeks of classes left. Then a move to an apartment, Casey's arrival, the beginning of regular cooking, thorough exploration of chinese cuisine, and the beginning of forest management research/study.

I am for trying for a week or so, or maybe even the semester if they are good, but I have other plans for the rest of the year...

Tonight various boiled vegetables and meats are on the menu. Hotpot it is. Literally a large hot pot placed on a burner in the center of the table in which i will place the most delicious greens, and most mysterious "meat balls" that bounce like super balls.
