I'm eating brussel sprouts. My roommate forgot to make them for Thanksgiving, and he said that I can eat them before they go bad. I used his steamer to cook them, and it was really easy. The weird thing is that the first couple I tasted were really good, but after that they're not so easy to get down. I think it's time for seasoning. Hold on. Well, the only seasonings I could find were salt and mesquite chicken seasoning both of which aren't doing a whole lot of good for the sprouts.

How was your Thanksgiving?? Mine was good. Brian and I went to a dinner at one of his friend's house. I brought all of my own food which was a little awkward. I made a tofurky and extra stuffing with mushroom gravy and cranberry sauce on the side. I was really nervous that some jerk would hassle me about not eating meat or about bringing my own food (it happens! I don't know why), but no one seemed to care. I'd never had tofurky before, and it was the bomb! I can't wait to make it again. It's really delicious, and it's even better the next day.

OK, I can't eat anymore of these mesquite brussel sprouts. I tried, really I did.

We went to Palm Springs on Friday for a few days of relaxation and sun. We had a good time, especially eating at my new favorite restaurant, Native Foods. We went there three times in as many days, though it was closed the third time so we only ate there twice. They had "chicken" fingers that rivaled Popeye's!! I can't wait to go back. They have locations in Los Angeles and Orange County, too! I had wanted to hang out by the pool a lot, but there was some high school field hockey tournament going on, and about a thousand shrieky girls were staying at our hotel and constantly using the pool. Instead we watched lots of TV movies and a few hours of Top Model, Cycle One.

I'm going to the accounting club in a little while. Then I think I'll skip ballet and head to the gym instead. I went to two ballet classes last week, and now I need a break.
