makeover

So I had some spare time I could have spent studying Japanese but often occasionally I need to set studying aside and do something of upmost importance completely random. For example, give my blog a makeover. I must say... my blog needed a makeover and now it looks pretty snazzy!

Yesterday Andy and I hosted a party to celebrate the beginning of  the Summer Olympics! It was really fun! Parties are a wonderful way for us to invite acquaintances over to get to know them better and provide a fun and free enviorment for parties. I decided to make some kind of food/dish from six different countries to help celebrate the international event. So out of my Martha Stewart kitchen teeny-tiny Japanese sized kitchen I made: Fish & Chips in honor of the host country for the Olympics, Baked Pasta (Italy), Fried Rice (China), Pineapple Boat Fruit Salad (Brazil), Chocolate Chip Cookies (USA!), and a friend brought a huge Sushi Roll to represent Japan! The party was a lot of fun! (Check out facebook for pictures!)

We are really enjoying the hot, muggy, very humid summer! In all honestly I would rather be sweating glowing all the time rather then shivering cold. July is flying by and I can't believe August is just about here. I hope you all are enjoying your summer too!
