Futurama to Stave Off Meltdown

So I'm gonna be homeless for a week because all the properties I can afford have a "no site unseen" policy about applications. I'll have to live on a couch and leave my cat behind while I find a place. Blergh. It's stressing me out.

So, I've spent the entire afternoon watching Futurama to chill out. I really like Season 5. It's humor connects with me a lot better than even the previous seasons did. However, I have two complaints about Futurama developed tonight:

1) I kind of hate Leela for hating on tubas and calling them a mistake.

2) Why do all the characters hate pineapple pizza? I love it!

There was more, but I don't remember.

Count-down to Graduation

So a couple of my friends have started posting facebook statuses of their final to-do lists before we graduate. I decided to jump on board, but my list was too long for a facebook status, so here it is.
  1. Grade correspondence portfolios for 417
  2. 15-20 page paper for 710
  3. 2000-2500 word paper for 759
  4. Masters defense
  5. Presentation for 759
  6. Research log for 759
  7. 2 feasibility reports for 759
  8. Grade 18 final reports & presentations for 417
  9. Final test for 710
  10. Grade all revisions for 417
I also have a couple readings left for 710, but they're small, so I'm not counting them. Blergh. How will I get all of this done in 2 weeks? Also, why do I still procrastinate so much 25 years into life?

Happy Easter! Sausage Souffle

So, I'm making a breakfast sausage souffle for Easter brunch. It's one of my favorite things that my mom makes. It's a heart attack waiting to happen, but I only get it once or twice a year, so no harm done.

I've reduced everything because it's just my roommate and I, and I thought I would share a version for the poor lonely souls like us who are far from family for Easter. So here's what you'll need:

What the Recipe Calls For:What I Used:
  • 8 slices of soft bread diced
  • 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2 lbs breakfast links sausage cooked then sliced
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 3/4 cups milk
  • 3/4 tsp dry mustard
  • 1 cup mushroom soup
  • 9x13 inch glass baking dish
  • 5 slices of French bread torn up
  • 1 1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 lb ground breakfast sausage (Jimmy Dean Maple flavored)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1/2 tsp dry mustard
  • 3/4 cup mushroom soup
  • 8x8 inch glass baking dish

Here's what you do:
  1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
  2. Grease your baking dish.
  3. Cook sausage.
  4. Tear/dice bread.
  5. Beat eggs in a bowl.
  6. Mix milk, mustard, and mushroom soup in with eggs.
  7. Evenly layer the bread bits on the bottom of the baking dish.
  8. Sprinkle cheese over the bread.
  9. Evenly layer the sausage over the cheese.
  10. Spoon the egg mixture over the bread, cheese, and sausage.
  11. Bake for 1.5 hours.

Then you eat it. It's tasty. Happy Easter!
