I Sure Like Those Green Onions

Well today was pretty typical. Well, I suppose it is. Not sure what a typical day in my new room would be like just yet but it seemed pretty average. I ate breakfast and my dad came to the house to fix a light fixture that has been busted for awhile now. Unfortunately there was a faulty switch in it so it didn't get fixed. No surprise there. He soon left and I resumed cleaning my room and getting things in order, which is still not done but it's getting there.

Wednesdays feel like the longest days. They are at least the ones I spend the longest time alone. My mom and sister both go to evening church on Wednesdays but I stay home so I'm left all alone till they get home. I texted my mom to ask about what time she would be home so I could start cooking the Shrimp Scampi a short time before she would get here only to get a text 2 min after saying she's 30min away. Sure, this dish shoulda taken that much time to fix but I spent a considerable amount of time puzzling over the recipe instructions as I was slightly uncertain on one part it was telling me. I decided to leave it temporarily and just put a pot of water on the stove for the noodles and just waited for it to boil. My mom was home before that happened.

Getting the noodles done really wasn't a problem. Really, the whole thing was pretty easy but I don't manage my time well just yet so the noodles were done for approximately 10min while I was getting the shrimp, and other ingredients prepared/cooked. My main irritation was that the knife I was using to chop the green onions and garlic was far too dull and it made things a little difficult. The food still turned out wonderfully at least though next time I am going to be sure to chop the tails off the shrimp to make the dish easier to eat but I felt I did a fair job for my first time cooking this. I may even add the noodles in with the shrimp and other ingredients to let it take on that flavor but I'm unsure to that just yet. Either way, I was happy with how it tasted and so was my mom so that's all that really matters to me. I was so worried it may not be good so if she had even jokingly told me it sucked, I likely woulda felt pretty sad, even if it was for just a second.

That's pretty much all for today. Cya next time.. Hrmm... That makes me sound like a TV show.. Oh well. XD''
