does anyone remember the Frugal Gourmet? It was a cooking show on PBS. I was in Loganberry books one day w/ Mark (and if you're in the cleveland area, you need to go in there...its on Larchmere...just the kind of darkish, dustyish, mismatched furniturish, crazy book collection place any nerd could settle right in to) and i found a cookbook he had done. Over come by nostalgia and the promise of learning how to make all sorts of american favorites, and i had to buy it. and guess what...i made muffins from scratch yeterday! i even used the mixer. the recipe sounded kinda gross, but it turned out pretty good. i guess that basically just means that i don't cook from scratch enough and therefore have no clue what goes into a good recipe. i'll just have to cook more often.

what's probably even more impressive is that i immediately cleaned it all up. now, that's crazy.

there was a girl at initiation practice tonight in a juicy couture sweatsuit, or whatever you call a sweatsuit when its juicy. now, i imagine there were probably some sisters who could afford such a thing when i was in the house...but did you ever see them wearing such craziness? ah well...they were fairly well behaved...they are sure as heck more on time than we ever were...

there's been a minor but still slightly interesting change to the initiation wording...ask me if you're interested.
