I’ve Moved To A New Location

I’m calling Star, Idaho home these days. Last night my sister and I went for a short 5 mile bicycle ride back behind our quaint little town. There’s a little duck family that hangs out around here, and a skunk that’s too cute for words! I would like to have one as a pet one day, if there were an ethical way to remove whatever gland produces the awful smell. Lately Liz and I have been watching a lot of Kourtney And Khloe Take Miami, Holly’s World, and The Real Housewives Of New Jersey. And guess what? I actually kind of enjoy it :P
Gotten A New Job Making Pizzas

I’m working at my local Pizza Hut, about a mile away from where I live. It’s a change of pace from Subway and less frustrating. I’m still trying to get used to the drastic decrease from Oregon minimum wage at $8.40 an hour to Idaho’s current rate of $7.25.
Spent Way Too Much Money At Victoria’s Secret

I’m so obsessed. After numerous pairs of panties and bras, cute new sweats, delicious perfume, and the promise of an adorable hoodie, I’m in love with the store, specifically the Pink line <3
And have decided to….
Apply To Transfer To Another School, Starting Fall 2011
I’m really looking into Linfield. I visited once a couple years ago and fell instantly. They seem to have a great Mass Communications program, and my dear friend Erin is going there. Perfect? I think so. Go there? Hit a lady up!
Mmmm, I love comfy new VS Pink sweats,
Dacoda.

I’m obsessed with buying cute cheap things. They know me at antique stores and thrift shops. Number one thing I can’t resist: teacups and saucers. Back at home, nearly every surface in my room was littered with my findings, but in cramped quarters such as here in my new apartment, everything must have a purpose.
Say hello to my favorite little beauties who just became as practical as they are darling:
Don’t worry, I have more than enough cups to satisfy my caffeine addiction,

Hello! I just got back from Idaho today, and guess who forgot to pack Nikon ):
If I have yet to make mention of this, I’m moving to the Boise area next month. My sister (Also my new roommate! We have that sickeningly and annoyingly awesome sibling relationship where we’re completely different but still best friends) and I found the cutest little two-bedroom apartment in the teensy tiny town of Star. We went for a six mile walk Wednesday morning around our new neighborhood and beyond. Star is filled with rivers and tributaries, cute little goats, sheep, horses, and cows, and there is a mint field so very close to my apartment so it smells minty fresh constantly :3
I visited College of Western Idaho while I was there as well, bleh. But if you’re going, let’s meet (:
And I fell in love with TCBY, specifically the white chocolate mousse. And I found this awesome photo during a TCBY Flickr search:

I met the sweetest, nicest couple Tuesday evening. Last year, Liz (my sister) acquired a job that involved hanging out and fulfilling the basic social needs of a man with Down’s syndrome. In the process, she has become close with the family, who hail from southern Texas bayou country. When Liz told them that she had family coming into town they insisted on inviting us over for dinner.
Over homemade lasagna and blueberry cream cheese pound cake, they told us of their move up to Idaho, suffering through their first cold winter, the experiences they’ve shared with their son, and such, all in the cutest Texan accents.
At the end of the evening, they extended the door that is always open to my sister to me as well, something I most likely will take advantage of, not only for the delicious food, but also for the wonderful company.
Right now as I type, I have some Apple Cinnamon Bread Pudding baking in the oven, and I am kind enough to share the recipe (:
Several slices of your choice of bread, enough to cover the bottom of a medium-sized shallow baking dish
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 apple, pared, cored, and sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
36 ounces evaporated milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1. Butter the baking dish.
2. Place bread slices in the bottom of the dish, overlapping. Brush the bread with the melted butter.
3. Toss apple slices in lemon juice and scatter over the bread in the dish.
4. Beat eggs in large bowl until combined, then beat in sugar, evaporated milk, vanilla, lemon peel, and cinnamon. Pour mixture over bread and apples and press down to soak it in. Cover and let stand for 30 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
6. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until pudding is set. Knife inserted near center should come out clean. Sprinkle with sugar if desired, can be served warm or cold.
Enjoy!
Dacoda.
