Graduation break

Hey, y'all. I know it's pretty barren here lately. I've been in the process of graduating from school (yay!) and my parents visited, so my mum didn't let me cook anything. Seriously, she didn't. Let. Me. Cook. I enjoyed the break because, in addition to graduating, I got the most heinous cold. My body completely forfeited its health at the end of the semester, presumably because it knew I was done with school.

Anyway, I'll be cooking and writing much more frequently in the coming days and weeks, as I continue the search for a job (know anyone hiring a policy master's grad? I'll bake for the entire office every week!) and try not to be too terrified about reentering the labor force.

Additionally, I've been brushing up my Spanish (and possibly my Italian) on Duolingo, walking my dog A LOT, and watching Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries on Netflix and the third series of Call the Midwife on PBS. Anybody recommend any pilates DVDs? Maybe I can also work on my fitness during this, my time of demoralizing unemployment. :)

If anyone has any recipe requests or suggestions for me to try out, let me know!

As a small consolation for the lack of posts, please accept these pictures of my dog, Buster. Unlike me, he's adorably photogenic.
