Gerantology Studying? No, Another Quiz!

1. Do you tend to rip the paper off water bottles?
Sometimes if I have nothing else to fiddle with. But usually I like to leave it on; it looks a lot better that way.

2. If the mob was after you, what would you do?
Go into the witness protection program. And then form my own mob.

3. When you shut off your alarm clock, do you tend to fall back asleep?
Always >.< 4. If you were given the chance to take care of a monkey for a weekend, would you?
Of course! How many chances will you get in your lifetime to take care of a monkey?

5. What is the current advertisement on the side of the screen?
Nothing, thank goodness. Online advertising does nothing for me whatsoever, unless I accidentally click it, which then annoys me because it redirects me to a different page, making me against buying whatever I just clicked on.

6. What are you looking forward to in the next few months?
Christmas!

7. When will you turn 18?
Already there, sucker!

8. If you were being chased by an alligator, what would you do?
Wrestle it to the ground! And by wrestle to the ground I mean run fast - faster than you!

9. How many pillows are on your bed?
Just one at the moment (I still haven't picked up the other one at the dry cleaners)

10. What song are you currently listening to?
A random mix of everything on my computer --> currently "Belle" from Beauty and the Beast

11. Have you ever passed out from drinking?
Nope and don't plan on it.

14. Do you have any cousins?
Yes I have lots but sadly know hardly any :(

15. Can you imagine yourself living in a cardboard box?
I used to dream of it, thinking it would be so cool. Now... not so much. Hopefully I never have to.

16. Who was the last person you talked to?
Cory I think.

17. What is the WORST subject they teach at school?
Satanism? I don't think there's ever a "bad" subject taught in school; the teacher has the most to do with whether or not you like it and even then it depends on your preference of their style of teaching so it's all relative to you.

18.Where do you plan on living when you grow up?
I plan on moving back to PEI, but who knows? That's a long time from now; anything can happen.

I have a lot, so ranging from once to... infinity.

24. If puppies stayed small forever, would you buy one?
Wow whoever had made this up spelled "puppies" wrong.
But I would buy a puppy no matter if they would grow up or not.

25. What is the best ice cream flavor?
Candy cane. Nothing beats Christmas-flavoured anything.

28. Can you say the alphabet backwards?
If I wrote it down I could, or had an infinite amount of time to sing it forwards in-between, yes.

29. Would you ever change for a boy/girl?
Depends on what kind of change. If someone (anyone) pushes me to be a better person I would hope I would change. But I think you are influenced in some way by everyone you spend time with, so change therefore is inevitable, however big or small it may be.

32. Pro-life or Pro-choice?
Wow skipping two questions this time.
I would say pro-life. I mean this is a living organism you are talking about. If you are not able to take care of them, at least give them a chance of a better life and give them to someone who is able and willing.

33. Have you ever been on stage?
Yup.

34. Can you whistle?

Here's To The Long Weekend!

This past week has been a weird one for me.

With the midterm in Biology on Wednesday along with the return of the unfortunate cold I have been waking up and meaning to go to class but falling asleep again. As it turns out, I woke up this afternoon and realized that I completely took the week off of class, without really meaning to. Good thing this is a long weekend, because I have a lot of catching up to do!

So what's been keeping me busy you ask, if not for school? Lately I've been working on a large jigsaw puzzle. When I was unpacking earlier, I found a few bags of them so I decided to break one open and try my hand at it. Still no clue what picture it is but it's coming along, slowly but surely. Really I should be doing something more productive but it's 3 am and the only reason I'm up is to wait for a load of laundry to finish so I think I'm quite alright.

I think I mention this every time I post but man time flies. It seems like hardly any time passed since I first arrived, and here it is Thanksgiving once again. This is one of my favourite times of the year. A special holiday just to celebrate food, family, friends, and being grateful for what we're given; pretty sweet! What a great reminder each year of the things we should remember every day. Did I mention the fact that there's no school on Monday? Even better!

The Perfect Salmon Dish

At the local Fortinos earlier today there was a sale on salmon fillets. Now if you know me, you will know that my favourite fish has got to be the salmon and so I couldn't resist the urge to try to make some myself. But I had never made it before, so I asked the lady how to cook it in a pan and so here is her recipe, with some added stuff of my own.

Call it beginner's luck, but that salmon turned out so beautifully I'm pretty sure I have reached my full cooking potential and from this moment on it will all just go downhill from here. But let's hope not.


Needed:
2-3 cups rice
1 salmon fillet
1/2 cup (?) Famous BC Salmon Marinade & BBQ Sauce
3 stalks green onion, chopped
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables

1. In dish, coat salmon with sauce on both sides. Toss in green onions, cover (saran wrap will do) and marinate in fridge for 15-20 minutes. DO NOT LEAVE IN FOR MORE THAN 30! Apparently it makes the sauce go bad, sitting for too long.

2. Rinse the rice, bring to a boil, cover and leave on low heat.

[This would be a good time to get some things done, i.e. study or wash dishes. Personally I chose the latter]

3. Sprinkle water into a frying pan on low heat and slide in filet, skin side down. Cover and leave for 20 minutes, sprinkling more water occasionally.

4. 10 minutes after the fish, boil water in separate pot, throw in vegetables, bring to second boil, cover, and let sit until salmon is done.

Serve and Enjoy!

Accentuated Wonton Soup

Last night, out of regular groceries (the nearby store still seems so far away), I checked the freezer and, lo and behold, lay a package of some frozen premade wontons my dad had bought for me earlier. But to me normal wonton soup seems so... bland. So, the university student I am, I decided to spice it up using every bit of food left I had.

What I was left with was a quick and easy soup that was actually filling.

Needed:
1 package frozen premade wonton
3 potatoes, diced
2 cup (?) mixed frozen vegetables
1 package instant noodle

1. While boiling 2 separate pots of water, throw potatoes into small bowl, cover with water, and microwave for 5 minutes (cheating, but so much faster!). Drain.
2. In one pot, stir the package of instant noodle and potatoes. In the other, the vegetables and wontons. Turn heat down on the instant noodle and cover both for about 6 minutes, flipping the noodles halfway.
3. Drain the vegetables with wontons and stir into remaining pot.

Serve and enjoy!
