So I was meant to have a psych lecture now but its been cancelled and it wasnt announced by email. And now I'm just sitting in the lecture theatre because I'm too lazy to move and its air con-ed in here. There no point going home because I have another lecture in 2 hours so I thought I'd take the time to write a blog post. Well not much has happened since the last time that I posted. I've been putting off writing my psych essay because its reflective writing which I'm not very familiar with, I still have some time before it's dued so there's time to procrastinate.
Over the weekend, Frances' parents came up to visit and it was awesome because her mum made us hone cooked meals. It made me miss my mum/dad's cooking, it always be my favourite. Whenever I try to emulate their cooking it just doesn't have the same taste, and sometimes you just don't want to cook. I find food tastes better when you don't have to cook for yourself. Frances' mum made pretty good food and it was filling and wholesome food, rather than the junk that I've been eating. We were pretty well fed, a very awesome feeling. She made us noodles for dinner and meat balls for lunch, it was yummy. On Saturday night, I had burritos with the P's and their cousin which they had made, and it was pretty good, also I didn't have to make it either. Then I made some crepes for dessert. After having all this food that was made for me, I wasn't in the mood for making food to eat so I just had yogurt and muesli. However on Sunday, the p's invited me to max brenners and the avengers, so I thought that I would make them butter chicken for dinner. Originally I was going to make it from a jar but then I decided I wanted to make it from scratch so if it tastes bad then I don't have to finish it all on my own. I thought I had most of the spices at home but there are a lot of spices involved! I tried to follow the recipe but then I kinda strayed, the stupid pot burnt my spices when I put them in and it wasn't even on high heat, so I transferred pots and added more of the spices without really measuring them, just went by taste. I still wasn't satisfied with it every time I taste tested but I thought stop adding more spices. Anyhow it turned out pretty good, a decent first effort obviously not as good as Mon's though, but good enough to satisfy those cravings!
Max Brenners was good and apparently theres a national strawberry shortage , who knew? I just had a waffle and a chocolate lick, because I knew that I shouldn't over order as I always do. It was yummy but I wanted some fruit but was stingy to pay the extra money. Then finally it was time for the avengers, I was so excited even though I haven't watched any of the other movies besides captain America. It was such a awesome movie, I really enjoyed it, I loved the little "quirky" interactions between the characters and the little funny moments. The cinemas was pretty full even though it was the night session on Sunday. I can't wait to watch it again and when the cinemas are empty. It was weird because I thought I was late to watching it but my band guys also had recently seen it too because it came out later in the US.
Originally I have given up on crochet or just gotten over my phase but I found some simple tutorials on youtube to make a beret/beanie and I really wanted to try them out. It was pretty straight forward to make and I have since made a number of beanies but only about one that I can wear. The girl in the tutorial has a really small head!
Over the week I made some other little craft things, including a necklace with a little jar and some paper tissue flowers, very simple things but fun to make :)
oh yeah, I also made spring rolls from stratch and my own made up recipe. It turned out not too bad, my housemates liked them. However they had a little different flavour and the meat wasn't as moist as how my mum makes them. I really gotta ask my mum for her recipes, but I do like the feeling of being independent and trying to make foods for the first time, it's fun!!
Sorry in advance if I made some spelling/ grammar or things just don't make sense in general, I'm worse writing on my phone.

I'm happy you liked the avengers and still think it's awesome you made butter chicken from scratch. The beanies and the other things you made look really good!
