White Lasagna

Go here to read my very own white lasagna recipe. Enjoy!

And I'm happy to report that the bugs have not-so-gladly welcomed me back to school. I have met 2 cockroaches, a colony of ants, a bunch of weevils, and more spiders than I can count. Look at this one who decided to make our front door his new home.

Full of Life

I learned two interesting things today:


1. Spider webs are invisible. I didn't notice this web until the sun shown on it just right at about noon today.
2. Spider Webs are strong. Above: Before. Below: After.
Even after rolling down my windows while going 65 mph, the spider web was still in perfect condition.

Now if I could just figure out why the spider decided my car is a good place for spider web, that would be good to know. Maybe I need to deep clean my car. Or perhaps closing my window completely (it was open a crack) would help too.

Adventures











When I was younger, one of my favorite computer games was Myst. I loved exploring and seeing the neat places they had in the game. The graphics were really good. Now that I'm older, life has gotten busier. I never even got around to beating Myst IV. Maybe I will in a couple of weeks when I have a week off... Anyway, today instead of exploring in games, I go exploring in real life. I love hopping on my bicycle and exploring a neighborhood or a trail I've never been on. This summer I explored the University of Maryland campus (which I have yet to take pictures of), my new neighborhood, a few biking trails next to the Washington DC lds temple, some neat bike trails in a neighborhood nearby my apartment until it dead ended, a nice neighborhood nearby with and artificial blue lake and stream, and I explored a little hiking trail through the forest, on foot. It's all been really enjoyable. I wish I had more time to go exploring around here because there is so much to see! I guess I'll have to find more places by school to explore. I haven't really done that yet. Enjoy the pictures. It really is beautiful out here. I love the green trees and the natural water sources that you don't see very often back home.
