Today has been weird... nothing much to say. What mad it so odd was the fact that i havent been to school in 4 days, and i couldnt do much makeup work because i wont be back to "normal" school until thursday because of this weird AP exam schedule, so this is just that weird day in between. It was a slooow day, creeping along at an unholy pace. The only thing really worth mentioning was that 1) My friend, Scott, whom i know from drama club and my AP Psych class, came over to help me study for tomorrow's exam.
2) After Scott left, it seemed like everyone was in a bad mood. Mikey was pretending to be sick because he hadn't wanted to go to school today, Dad took FOREVER delivering his route (he's a mailman, in case i havent mentioned) because some old lady actually MAILED all her furniture to her new house, Mom was dealing with my annoying Grandma who wouldnt stop harping about the broken refridgerator, and Pop was being constantly pestered by Grandma on his own birthday. Thats right, today was Grandpas birthday. Dont worry, i forgot too! lol
So, since i am a thoughtful daughter and human being in general, i decided i would take over and make everyone an amazing dinner to cheer them up. I found an interesting new recipe for "Baked Macoroni and Cheese Cupcakes", and decided to go for it, but in more of a casserole-style. I cooked the noodles, blanched the broccoli (which was HILARIOUS because we told Grandma it was aparagus in order to get her to shut up about not liking broccoli, and she actually ate it! lmao), browned the ground turkey with some garlic and olive oil, mixed it all thoroughly, seasoned it to taste, sprinkled some cheese, and baked. While that was cooking, i browned some more turkey, stirred in some tomatoes and sauce, seasoned, cooked that for a bit, then boiled some noodles and presto! Everyone was thankful.
We all relaxed and ate our deliscious meal, Mom and Dad chilled out SOOO much, Grandma and Grandpa bought some cake and icecream for his Grande 'Ol 63rd, and all was mellow again.
Stay Nifty! ;)
