...Not quite what I expected

I come home from school today at around 8 PM, my stomach turning wretchedly with hunger. I sort through my refrigerator and cabinets, pulling out whatever ingredients I find. In front of me lay a green pepper, an onion, a can of tomatoes, ground beef, and beans. Perfect- I'll whip up a quick chili. I browse through my assortment of packaged soups and miscellaneous seasonings, looking for an envelope of chili mix. I search and search, but cannot find it. I do find, however, a package and a half of taco seasoning. 'How far off could chili mix and taco seasoning be?' I think to myself. I sauté the onions and peppers, add in the beef, and some seasoning; in another pot, I simmer the tomatoes and the beans with more seasoning. The two cook separately, and I then merge the tantalizingly fragrant dishes together. They simmer. I watch eagerly, my mouth salivating in anticipation. After three antagonizing minutes, I heap generous spoonfuls in a bowl, adding just a few dozen splashes of Tabasco sauce. I sit down at my table, dig my spoon in the bowl, and then into my mouth.

Ladies and gentleman, I have officially made Taco Stew.

Let it be known that Chili Mix and Taco seasoning packets are in fact NOT interchangeable.

I'll continue to eat my taco stew and study probably one of the most boring things I've ever encountered: Incoterms. It's so boring that I can't even explain it properly (hence my need to study). Feel free to wikipedia Incoterms and relish in the content that awaits you.

On the flip side, I have a friend that is coming to visit this weekend. I'm very excited! We're going to visit the Pommery champagne caves (I'm finally going!!!) and just relax.

I had a marketing presentation on Tuesday that went FANTASTICALLY. I did all the visuals, including creating an advertisement. I honestly am questioning my choice of academic paths... I genuinely believe I should have gone into graphic design.

Alright. Time for round two of Taco Stew. Hopefully I won't fall asleep in it as I attempt to learn Incoterms. Blech.

Bon soir <3
