do i talk about food too much?

i often say that i am a fat girl at heart. usually when i'm going on and on about food and someone makes a comment about how i couldn't possibly eat very much being my size.
this post might be evidence of my inner fat girl because i feel like i have a lot to say about food. :]

last night, our friend mike asked me what i want to do in hawaii, and i replied "eat pineapple and have lots of shaved ice."
ha.
then i told him i want to go on at least one good adventure, so we discussed a little trip to manoa falls for some hiking.
anyway. today when james and i were at costco, i almost bought a pineapple, but then i remembered how good the last pineapple that mike brought back from hawaii for me tasted, so i passed. i knew it probably wouldn't live up to the last one i had. plus, i wasn't kidding about the eating pineapple while in hawaii thing. i'm planning to have several meals of pineapple, so i think i can hold off for the good stuff.
i bought strawberries instead, and promptly ate a bunch of them when we walked in the door. ha.

this week has been a busy one, but that's to be expected since the semester is coming to an end.
i had my presentation in micro on tuesday. it went pretty well. i always get so worried about presenting, but i need to just remind myself that i have a tendency to hold myself to a higher standard than most other people. everything always turns out well no matter how much i stress over it, so i need to learn not to stress so much.
i also had my last lab. it's just a weird feeling. i got a little sad that i won't see some of the people anymore. i don't remember feeling like that perviously. i guess i'm getting weak in my old age. ha. but there were a couple girls who were just really nice, and i sort of regret that i didn't get to know them better during year. sigh.

even though i had a lot going on, i made time to make cookies on monday night. it had been a while, and i wanted to try out a recipe. i know that i've mentioned one of my favorite local restaurants is the sup. well. they always put a little cookie on your plate, and they are so yummy. so deepa and i were telling the lady how much we love the cookies and she gave us the recipe! so cool. so i tried it out, and the cookies are sooo good. :] they are even a hit with james, which says a lot since he doesn't tend to like sweets at all. i think my mixer was happy to be taken out of the cupboard and put to use again too. ha.

i was supposed to update about the weekend with erin.
we had a lot of fun venturing all over the place downtown after deepa's party. we had tea at seven, made a few stops into imperial, went on an epic search for food, visited with old friends, and had a little dance party at tonic.
and we had the best breakfast.
[gotta love taking pictures with the phone. you can catch people off guard. i stillllll can't find my camera.]

it had been too long since i'd eaten at peg's for sure. definitely worth rolling out of bed after three hours of sleep to go eat there. :]
it was really nice to spend time with erin again. and she might be getting a job in reno soon, which would be awesome.

anyway. i have a long day at work tomorrow. i guess that means it's time for bed.
