domestic diva...i so am not

THis was a great weekend, I go almost everything accomplished that I set out to do..well, except my Japanese lessons....i never quite got around to studying, but hopefully I'll have the chance to squeeze an hour in before class tomorrow. Anyhow, as I was saying....I had all of these random domestic goals to accomplish...like baking rice krispie bars for a bake sale, or cooking crock pot taco casserole, or doing laundry and cleaning. For those of you reading this, who worry that maybe i've become a bit too domestic (as I was recently accused of by one of my friends....i mean, it is pretty boring in rural japan, what with no parties or bars or movie theatres, or good resturants, or shopping, or culture...but i digress) Fear not...I managed to accomplish all of my goals, however I also managed to pretty much screw them all up...and really, Who screws up Rice Krispie bars?? I mean that's like the easiest thing in the world to cook...or so I thought. Of course I still can't really figure out my oven...but that's a pretty shoddy excuse. And the crockpot stuff...i don't really know if its normal...but the whole thing was like mush...it was like food for a geriatric person...i had no idea that was what cooking in a crockpot meant. I think i am going back to buying bentos from the grocery store everyday.

Of course, I did also manage to knit a scarf, decorate my apartment for christmas, create some new pieces of jewelry, and do three art projects for my english classes...so the weekend wasn't a total bust.
