Scraps of Cheese Souffle

I did pride myself for awhile on the fact that I in no way had ever resembled the typical college kid. I ate fairly well balanced meals, did not keep up with any TV...at all, ever, and had a clean room. I could retain some dignity and act like a reasonable adult at the age of 20....for the most part (in my head, at least). Recently I have found that this is no longer true. Case in point:

The Office is something I'd now swear courses through my veins daily. If I don't watch it, I legitimately crave it. After a long day of reading hundreds of pages about vegetables and how to differentiate the parts of certain grains, I need a way to refuel my sense of humor and a good laugh.

Last night, I spent about 3 hours watching How I Met Your Mother, from the first episode. I immediately started watching it when I woke up. I am now at episode 21. It is 8:13 and I am just now deciding it's dinner time. My evening fare: A Trader Joe's Strawberries and Cream yogurt, 6 ounces of Pellegrino (I have developed a new taste for sparkling mineral water, which is an accomplishment to speak of) and a few handfulls of Reese's Peanut Butter Chips. Possibly followed by some Top Ramen around 10.

Today, I have done one thing that I am proud of. Based solely on my memory of an episode of Julia Child that I watched in school yesterday, I made a souffle, successfully. I am quite proud. It was enjoyed not only by me, but by others with good taste in food, which is how I know it was successful. A metal bowl with scraps of cheese souffle is now sitting on top of the stove. I need to wash that bowl. After the next episode of How I Met Your Mother.
