Cooking 101
Four weeks to go! Yes, I'm counting down, but that's okay considering the circumstances. It's hard to believe how many hours I'm working for so little money. And, I guess, how little I enjoy a lot of the work I do. But I'm learning new skills, meeting different types of people and learning a lot about myself, so it's worth it. And yesterday for the first time in my life I smelled something delicious coming from the kitchen and it was MY cooking! Ha! Granted I just put chicken and a jar of sweet and sour sauce in a slow cooker, but I still made it.
I've planned the next leg of my journey, and I'll be heading over to Sydney. There were two reasons for my decision: Jill and Louise (
awhh). Mostly I just can't wait to see them, and since Jill and Brian will be heading off soon, I figured mid-October would be the best time. I booked a ticket on the Indian Pacific train from Perth to Sydney. It's a three night journey, and I may end up regretting it, but I hope it will be a great experience (and some amazing scenery). It didn't cost much more than flying, and I can take all my luggage!

Aren't slow cookers amazingly simple?? We've got one, and Brian makes lovely dinners when we've got time to use it.
I can't wait to see you! We'll definitely have to book a day or two of down time for you to recover from you train journey.
