I need a break...

So these last two weeks have been just insanely busy. For the long weekend I flew out to chicago then back on Tuesday morning, then drove straight from the airport to Medina for my rotation. The rest of the week consisted of commuting to and from Medina (about 45min. each way). Oh except did I mention we got our first horrendous snow storm so Thursday it took me 2 hours to get home, absolute nightmare. Then Saturday was Prophy day, were about 500 people came through...we were there from 8am-4:30. What a Saturday it was. Sunday was a total veg out day spent with friends watching football, so nice to finally relax. Then back to the grind and commuting in Medina. Friday was mock boards, so needless to say it was an extremely stressful week. After mocks I decided I really needed a weekend away so I drove out to Chicago, making a long day that much longer. Since Art had to fly out for some CE courses Sunday morning it was a really short weekend. I spent I think 36 hours total there, for 13 hours of driving, I know I am crazy. But it was totally worth it. Now it's back to case clinic which will be a shock after being treated like a real doctor for 2 weeks.

Food

Been a busy 3 weeks of cooking for me:). I love having the free time to make real "fancy" homemade food. I mean I pretty much always to homemade food, it just taste so much better, but I now I have the time to make long cooking dishes I don't do during school. Here is a list of what's been cooking: taco night (with homemade guac and salsa, chicken, ground beef and fish, and all the toppings), pizza night (homemade dough and pizza sauce), calzones (with the leftovers from pizza night. Even though they looked terrible they tasted pretty good in the airport:)), homemade focaccia bread, stuffed pasta shells with homemade meat sauce, spicy soy sauce glazed chicken wings, Philly cheese steaks and oven baked garlic fries, my dad and I did a breakfast for Christmas with banana mac pancakes, and a bunch of desserts for Art's co-workers. There were other meals in there that were not as exciting to mention. Here are some pictures...I do apologize the lighting and such is bad I am not a food photographer by any means. Oh an some of you may be wondering how I am eating all these "cheesy meals" I have discovered soy cheese for a cheap price at the commissary here and it actually taste ok.
