Apartment and food

Here is the first thing I put up on the wall on my own. I used a screw that was part of the packaging because I don't have any nails...resourceful, I know. I even figured out how to "fix" the clock before I put it up. The minute hand was loose and kept dropping to the bottom. I was able to get it to stay in place and now it is ticking away happily.


I also got a new set of fluffy indigo bath rugs to better match the room and replace the old ones, which were starting to show some wear and tear (they served us both well, Steffi).


Here are some dinner-for-one pictures. Even though it's just me, I try to cook every evening ~ or at least make a lean cuisine meal look nice. =)

taco salad


Asian stir-fry mix from Aldi with soy sauce


random things layered in a casserole dish


this one's a lean cuisine dinner ~ you can hardly tell when it's all plated. (That, and I don't usually slice my carrots that way.)


my variation on soup, salad, and bread sticks


"grilled" veggies with bbq sauce


ensalada


And for the grand finale: Linsen and Spaetzle was on the menu tonight. I knew it would take a while to cook this, but I didn't want to wait for the weekend. The late dinner was well worth the wait ~ mh-mh, always a winner!!
