I Survived the Meeting YAY!

Well, the thesis meeting at Trent University went well, so now I feel better. Mostly, anyways. I'm not sure that it cleared things up, precisely, and the researcher we met there recommended I do additional analysis that I'm not going to do because I'd like to finish someday soon.

Heh, on the drive up to Peterborough, my supervisor admitted that my data set is more suited to a PhD sized project. I told her no way in hell am I doing a PhD right now, which is probably not the smartest thing to say to ones thesis supervisor, but we have a pretty decent relationship and I've already told her that in the past. :D

Alright, I'm sacked. Bed time now. Then I swear, I'm spending some time tomorrow evening sewing, because my brain is too full and I need to clear it a bit. Night all.

Memory of Dinners Past

What with all my creativity and inspiration going into both my sewing and thesis lately (have we noticed the tag "master of bs" lately?), I've been utterly uninspired to do any type of real cooking. And unfortunately, my craptacular diet is starting to show. :(

Tonight, I was starving but had no desire to eat at all. And then, while perusing the contents of my fridge and cupboards, inspiration struck!

Wieners and beans.

This meal brings back so many memories for me. My Dad, who was always a good cook when he put the effort, would often not bother with the effort and bang out these cheap, easy meals that kids love. Monda's special (hamburger, bacon, kraft dinner, and tomato soup all fried together). Fried rice. Stir-fry. Wieners and beans.

And wieners and beans have always been one of my favorites. Right below the spaghetti sauce he would occasionally take all day to make.

So tonight I enjoyed a quick and easy (and maybe not so healthy) dinner and great memories. Thanks Dad. <3
