Food Adventures In My Free Time

   One of the great things about being on psych is that you get evenings and weekends off.  I was lucky to be able to get Mother's Day off, so BF and I went hiking with my mom and sister.  As one of my presents for my mom, I made rosemary pineapple sorbet from scratch.  (And yes, I do in fact love putting rosemary in everything).  

My beautiful mom!

Me, mom, sister

BF, me

   This last weekend, A (my "partner in crime") and I made a delicious fondue feast for BF and Y.  It was super gluttonous, but sooooooo worth it.  I don't know if you can see in the picture, but I made some delicious rosemary watermelon lemonade from scratch with my juicer.  Like I said... rosemary all up in errrryyything!  

Med School Students Like Nature Too!

This morning I went on a hike in Auburn with some classmates.  We had a great time out there!  The weather was GORGEOUS.  Can't wait to get out there again next time!

Oh, and I didn't study at all this weekend.  You might be wondering how I don't get behind... Well, I actually get very behind on studying.  But in this case I feel like it was worth it for me to just take the whole weekend to relax and enjoy myself.  I will make up for it this coming week/weekend since we have a quiz next Monday.  

 Also, I spent some time eating lunch out on my deck since it was so nice today.  I love having a backyard!

A day at the University Falls

Today J and I drove up to the Georgetown/Quintette area and hiked to the University Falls.  Basically they are 5 or so big natural waterfalls in the middle of the mountains.  Because they are so far buried in the forest (it takes 90 minutes to hike each way), they are a pretty well-kept secret, not many people know about them, which makes it great because they are usually not too crowded.  

                                 

Today was the most crowded I had ever seen them, but i think that is because a group of boy scouts or whatever was there.  They were behind us for part of our hike and reminded J and I why we don't want kids haha.

Anyway, it was a very fun trip.  I drove there for the first time, and we were able to find it fairly easily thanks to some directions on some outdoor excursion website I found.  The roads were a little on the windy side (windy as in curvy, not as in the weather being windy haha).  But thankfully my car was very cooperative!  I am always afraid that thing is gonna tip, but it was good!
