It’s official – I’m finished with Chem 101 Lab!  Yesterday, when I wore my pajamas to class, I got called up to the front for a demonstration, so I made sure to look cute today, albeit a bit crazy eyed.

I didn’t get many of my errands done, but we did at least make it to the post office in time to pick up a birthday gift from Adam’s brother.

He sent a variety of foodstuffs, all of which inspired my graze like a hippo gazelle dinner.  I like to work in reverse, so I started with dessert.  A macadamia cluster,

followed by two small petti  fores.

I have to say, I’m a bit of a candy snob, I could tell the chocolate was cheap and it wasn’t really worth it.

Dinner was more of a success.  I made a tasting plate!

Turkey pepperoni,

cheese log,

Sabra Jalopeno Hummus,

saltines,

and chopped pregnant red pepper, see the little green pepper baby we found inside!?

Everything was delicious.

I loved the combination of flavors, smokey, savory, sweet and spicy all together.  My fullness took a while to kick in though, I definitely snacked on 5-8 more unphotographed saltines post-dinner.

Adam and I watched all the newest Scrubs episodes while we ate, pretty good so far!  We were o.b.s.e.s.s.e.d with the old show – I talked about it in my wedding vows!!!! – and agree that while this isn’t quite as good the bar is set pretty high.

Post dinner I cleaned the entire freaking house!  Everything looks much neater and I feel a gazillion times better.  I do not function well in mess.  Now I’ve got to hit the sack, it’s Adam’s 24 birthday tomorrow!

Where do you set the bar when it comes to chocolate?  90% coco from the French only or whatever you can find?  I can occasionally enjoy a bite of the husband’s Snickers, etc. but in generally I’m pretty snobby.  My favorite as of late is the Lindt Sea Salt bar, yum!
