Home, sweet home

8/25/2012

 
I've decided I'm getting pretty good at making the most of my time in any place these days! 

I'm so glad I was able to visit with my best girl friends from high school while I was home for about a week. First, Janel got to witness my chipsi mayai cooking practice in the US, which turned out pretty well! I hope all of my friends will eventually enjoy some type of Tanzanian dish out of my cookbook! Along with a terrible movie night featuring "hollow face," Erin hosted a wine night/engagement party where we had eggplant parmesan and each of us brought a bottle to share. I am always happy to get caught up with how everyone is doing and learn about any new things happening in their lives that I usually miss due to being gone all the time. Miss and love you girls! 

It's also become a tradition to try and squeeze in a round of bowling with my A-team bowlers :D Yes- we do have our own shoes and ball, for the 100th time, and you can laugh all you want. It won't change the fact that we can kick your butt on the lanes any day (my attempt at bowling team pride). :) Hoping to get more of my bowling team out next time I'm home for a little reunion!
My mom also had the great idea to go to the Corning Museum of Glass. On her day off, we spent the day at the museum and loved it! There was so much to see and after being there the entire day, we definitely could have spent a few hours wandering around. Half way through our visit, Colin's dad told me that his great great grandfather had donated German enameled glass so we went on a hunt to find it! Turns out, there was a lot of it- not the prettiest of glass, but certainly neat stuff! We also did some sand-blasting to customize our own glass. I chose a bowl for cereal and Donna chose a jar.
