So far, my son seems fine, but the other kid he went to play with yesterday has some funny spots on his face, so I'm not terribly hopeful that we're going to escape it. I guess we'll just have to sit back and wait.

Hello
I've been a vegetarian since November 07 with a few slip ups at the beginning but since December 07 completely meat free!
In answer to nintendo_ my weight has stayed the same. I actually feel more energized being a vegetarian and much healthier. But I need to eat more fruit, veg (like everyone really!) and substitute protein more then I am doing but it's so much easier to go for the cookies and not the pack of nuts and raisins! I can't live without Quorn 'bacon' or as we have nick named it 'Fakon' :D
The Japanese food looks amazing I keep meaning to get the things I need to make sushi (vegetarian sushi of course) and stuff!

Recipes w/o mixer
I recently moved from my own, well-equipped kitchen to one with minimum utensils. In these few weeks I've -almost- learned how to use the gas oven, and am slowly adjusting to the thought of cooking with old, battered and sometimes partly broken pans, using kettles as bowls etc. However, the biggest challenge in my cooking and baking is the lack of an electric mixer. As I'm only staying here for a few months and my own equipment is waiting for me in my country, I don't want to buy one.
So now I need your help. Do you have a good cake recipe that doesn't involve beating eggs? A kick-ass cookie recipe where you don't have to blend everything in a Kitchen Aid? Simply mixable icings? Anything else apart from the obvious (read: brownies) you'd like to share? I can whip cream by hand, but that's about it.
Thanks in advance! I promise to post the results here ;)

To everyone who thought that "formulastic" was something an amazon.com reviewer wrote deliberately and cleverly, here is the entire review:
http://www.amazon.com/review/R1W185T110 1GRB/ref=cm_srch_res_rtr_alt_1
This wasn't Danielle Steel best. It was formulastic . It starts with famous actress Carole Barber who clings to life and memory after a bomb explosion. Throughout the novel over and over again. She explains she doesn't have any feelings for ex-husband Jason. Yes we get it!But she has feelings for a person who refused to leave his wife for her. Go figure! At the end you kind of left hanging. Bypass this novel

FYI
Randomly, I have been watching the series from the beginning and am halfway through S5. I never tire of this show. There are a few eps I don't particularly care for, but overall it remains one of my favorite things.

Ok, quick weekend post
My program went on a cruise together on Friday. I know most people brought dates, but I was still like "who are half of these people?!" It was really nice to see some people who I haven't seen in weeks, and the view of the Chicago skyline from the middle of Lake Michigan was amazing. I took some photos, but I'm so flaky about updating online things lately that they may have to wait. I need fewer things to do, not more.
Sometimes I'm really, really glad I don't own property. Just cleaning my apartment is enough for now, thankyouverymuch. I'm not ready yet.
I sure was pleased in September when everyone else had gone back to school and I was still enjoying my summer, but now that I won't finish this quarter for a few weeks and still have summer quarter to deal with I have lost my thrill at the U's shifted schedule. The weather is cooperating today and representing "early spring when everyone is still in school."
Um, who wants to come take notes from this pile of library books for me. Wake me up when you're done?
Oh yeah, a couple more things. j and I went to the Chicago 'green' festival yesterday. It was food free-sample insanity, but overall a bit underwhelming. Cleaning supplies, pet stuff, and bath+body products were underrepresented. We walked almost a mile indoors at a very sloooowww pace (we know this thanks to a free pedometer we got near the door).
But I found 20 bucks on the street yesterday and nobody was around to have dropped it so that was pretty awesome. I want to take that as a sign my luck is turning. I hardly feel guilty finding someone's twenty while walking around Chicago's "Mag Mile' either. They were probably using it to blow their nose. ;)
