Theoretically, I was supposed to have moved into my apartment last weekend. However, having come just the week before, I didn’t much feel like packing my stuff up again only to make another move, even if it was just across town. In total, this week has consisted of 4 or 5 trips to campus to move my stuff slowly into my apartment. Now, however, everything is here, including me! After a grueling two hours of hacking at my desk (which I found in my house’s basement), and another two of cleaning up and unpacking stuff, I finally have a decent setup. Illustrated in pictures, of course:

Closet. It’s a walk in closet that’s large enough to house a homeless guy rather comfortably. Dave thinks we should sublet it to homeless people:

The week previous to moving in, I experimented a bit with cooking (again). This time, however, I tried cooking garlic bread. Extremely simple but extremely good. Photos:

Ingredients – bread:

(Toasted) Bread:

After toasting, I cut a clove in half and rubbed it against the toasted bread. It wears away the garlic and leaves the bread with a flavor:

Buttering the toast adds flavor (and keeps the garlic flavor down):

Adding grated parmesan introduces a nutty flavor to be complemented with the garlic:

Finished product (which may or may not look like garlic bread, but is fantastic, nonetheless!)

I’ve cooked a few things since moving into the apartment. Updates to follow!
