Well it's been over a month since my last post. I feel out of touch.
Let's see... I'll update you all on things that have happened.
At the beginning of November, I turned 15. I went and tested for my driver's permit and passed! Now I'm learning to drive. I haven't gotten in to any car crashes yet so that is a good sign. It must mean my mom is doing a good job of teaching me.
To further celebrate my birthday, I went to the beach for a few days with my mom. We stayed in a hotel, relaxed, watched movies, and went geocaching. If you don't know what geocaching is, look it up. It's great fun.

Here is a random recipe for anyone who is interested:
Tomato-cheese pasta.
I'm not sure about the exact amount of pasta needed... however much you'd like I suppose. Mixed with this sauce recipe, you should have about enough pasta to feed five. Here is the recipe for the sauce.
~ 3 T. of butter
~ 3 T. of flour
~ a pinch of minced garlic
~ milk (no specific amount)
~ 1 can of condensed tomato soup
~ about 1 1/2 cups of any variety of cheeses you'd like. (Grated)
~ any spices you'd like. I used pepper, oregano, and basil.
After placing your cooked pasta in a colander, melt the butter in a saucepan on low heat. Add flour slowly (you might not have to use all of the flour). Stir. Add garlic and a little bit of milk. Pour in the tomato soup. Mix. Gradually add cheese and however much milk you'd like to get the desired consistency. Reduce heat to simmer. Continue stirring until the sauce is smooth. Stir in spices. Add pasta, stir, turn off your stove, and enjoy! :)
Speaking of food... Thanksgiving is tomorrow! Whether visiting family or celebrating this holiday in town, I hope you all have a wonderful feast. I know I can't wait to dig in to turkey, stuffing, and pie. It's the one day of the year that I don't have to be ashamed for taking a fourth helping because everyone is stuffing themselves like... well... a Thanksgiving turkey!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your turkey and pie... plus more!
