The Susanne

My new mobile has an applic­a­tion for blog­ger, and so my old blog is active once more, only this time it’s my ‘On the go’ blog and I’ll be post­ing mini updates about what I’m up to. I’m guess­ing it will happen a lot in times of great bore­dom and not so much at other times. Anywho — I’ve put an rss-​widget on the far right of this site. If you’re ever interested.

Now: I’m off to do some shop­ping for tonight’s ‘Knit and Drink’ at C’s house — I got my Fannie Farmer Cook­book the other day and am excited about trying out a recipe for bar­be­cued chicken wings a là 1979. Oh and yes, there is a recipe for the infam­ous party food of the ’70s: The Cheese Ball, in there. Oh joy!

Lastly, Happy Birth­day to the Ex who’s half way to 50 today but still only looks 24.

A week in, and already 2009 is far exceed­ing my expect­a­tions. I’ve had cham­pagne and cava, cel­eb­rated my friend C’s master degree, and today it’s back to every-​day life as my own master degree begins. I’m quite annoyed with uni at the moment as I’ve still not gotten the result back from my last exam and my accept­ance to the MA depends on my having passed everything last semester. The dead­line for the res­ults was yes­ter­day (three weeks after the exam) and still noth­ing — to be per­fectly honest I’m more than annoyed, I’m fuming!

Well, no need to ramble on about it now — here are a few high­lights from the past week:

The mussles we had at C’s MA cel­eb­rat­ory dinner. Abso­lutely deli­cious! And well done, C!

The rosé cava we had innu­mer­able glasses of, with frozen rasp­ber­ries from mum’s garden. Fantastic!

Remin­is­cence from my child­hood: bacon with potato stew and veget­ables. Made with soy milk, of course, but still delicious.

And finally: beau­ti­ful Janu­ary land­scape. Makes even me like winter…
