Moving...

So, I'm doing it. I have now sold the majority of my possessions and next monday I will start the 3 day expedition out to Seattle.
I'm excited and nervous and worried and delighted and and and ...

I packed up all of my books today, including cook books. Sad. I feel as claustrophobic as they probably do.
I've been living off of this weird diet of things in my pantry I've been trying to use up. I had Macaroni and Cheese for breakfast. Don't Judge.

I finally broke down and did a little grocery shopping today. I need fresh vegetables darn it!

My dad, ever the huntsman that he is, gave me a package of duck awhile back and I really did not have the heart to throw it away or give it away so I'm using it up tonight.

I used Jaime Oliver's steak and guinness pie recipe. http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/beef-recipes/steak-guinness-and-cheese-pie-with-a-puf
But obviously instead of steak, I used the ducky ducky ducky. It's in the oven as we speak.
I'm also going to use crescent rolls for the lid instead of puff pastry because Trader Joe's didn't have frozen puff pastry and the thought of making one more stop on the way home just for puff pastry was way too unbearable.

But wait for it, wait for it. Guess what else is packed? Did you guess? Yes, that's right. The camera. Boo. So no pictures this time around, but I will let you know how it turned out and I will make it again (probably the right way) and take pictures of it then. Deal?

You know what I will post? Pictures of the wedding I attended with K last weekend.
His best bud from forever got hitched. It was a really fun time. Maybe a little too fun, if that's possible.

Couples Photobooth
Photo-booths instead of favors are the most brilliant thing ever. Although are slightly dangerous when cocktails are involved.

K's baby girl niece. Most beautiful child ever.

We fight over who gets to hold her. K always wins.

So, with that being said I'm signing out for awhile. Hopefully no longer than 2 weeks, but I promise to have something really fantastic when I do post again. Well, I guess that all depends on the kind of kitchen I end up with too because I don't have an apartment yet. Yes, you heard me correctly.
That's the nervous and worried part.

But things have a way of sorting themselves out and I will be back in no time flat.

Cheers- Liz
