So it's been pretty much forever since I've had the time to blog. It's been months. You would think that something of interest would have happend by now for me to talk about. Nope. I just got back from spring break. I went home for a week and it was pretty exciting. My family was pretty much never home, so I had to find ways of entertaining myself. I was having internet withdrawls, and I finally found free wireless. I read books, did my taxes, fafsa, cooked random food, finally picked out my classes for spring quarter... a little late I know. Nothing too exciting as far as classes go... just Astronomy, pre-calc, ministry of Jesus, and D.I. 3. Good news! I no longer have classes during lunch! I can actually have lunch with my friends w/o feeling guilty for skipping yet another class! That will be great. I also get to sleep in past 9 a.m. ! I'm excited to be back and can't wait to go to class!
Side note: In the movie Bridget Jones's Diary (one of my fav's) Her mom is really into doing what she calls gourmet meals. For her, this means everything in miniature). Bridge's mom askes if anyone someone would like a mini gurkin, and they reply, "no, the mini spotted dick put me over the edge." I always thought that part was funny, but I never knew what spotted dick was. I was shopping in World Market over break with friends, and I found a can labeled "spotted dick in a can." I thought it was hilarious. I forgot my wallet and went back to buy it later, but it was gone.
Spotted Dick is a steamed pudding, containing dried fruit, usually currants. The dessert is especially popular in the United Kingdom, usually served either with custard or with butter and brown sugar. Spotted refers to the currants (which resemble spots) and dick may be a corruption of the word dough. It is also known as Spotted Dog, Plum Bolster and Spotted Richard. (who knew?!)
ok, not that funny.
