JJ and I invited a few of her classmates over for dinner last weekend. We have been rotating dinner parties, and it was well past our turn to host the party.

The Director of our House

This week there are no classes on Thursday and Friday due to Fall Break so JJ and I are headed to Kentucky with a few friends of ours. We will stay with my grandparents in New Concord for a few days. It will not be that long of a trip, but it will be long enough to clear our minds and get refocused on our studies. The last few weeks have been somewhat brutal and the break will be nice.

Since I am trying to cram 7 days of studying into 3 days, there has been little time to think about the trip, and I will have to wait and pack the morning that we leave.

Tailgating| University of Southern Mississippi

After a week that I would rather forget, JJ and I decided to take a break from studying on Saturday afternoon. We both have found that we have not been as social as we have liked over the last year so it was nice to get out and see friends old and new. As a child, my father often took us to his Alma mater, Mississippi State University, to tailgate with extended family and friends so it is hard to not go out and enjoy the pregame festivities on Saturdays in the fall. We also attended the game and by chance, we ended up sitting next to a few friends that I have not seen in long while. It turned out to be a great day, and I am ready to hit the books for the next couple of weeks.

I promise this was not on the menu........today

Zack’s Pho

Our friend Zack has been wanting to cook for us for awhile now. He is quite the chef, and we finally found the time to get down to Lumberton to try one of his home cooked meals. Zack went with us to New Orleans a month ago to eat Pho, and he had told us that he was going to cook us a batch when we came down. Zack outdid himself. It was a great meal and I look forward to tasting more of his work! Zack is going to force me to upgrade my cooking skills, and I am going to have to work hard on to come up with a meal that will surpass this one.
