Odds and Ends.

So, this week was one of those weeks.

Yep, thats right. It has been one of those weeks where you just feel like you are on fire by Friday. {in a good way} Robert and I are unemployed! {in a good way}. Last week my Anatomy professor asked me to be a TA in the Winter, and to do that I need to be a volunteer TA for BIO 264. Am I completely stoked? YES! Robert is now a Biology research volunteer for a professor here on campus, and loving it.{In case you didn't catch on, we really like the volunteer title} Last time I checked they were doing some DNA extracting with some random, un-heard {he begs to differ} of animal. It's been that week when my phone completely breaks. {in a good way}. I have become a much better planner, considering by the end of the day Robert has to know where to find me so I have a way to get home. I also get to spend that much more time with Robert so I don't get lost {because I am one of those kinds of people}. I also get to spend more time with him so I can use his cell phone {the only means of communication I have with others}. In other words, no complaints here; phones break away! I also aced both my exams and I am just feeling good. Yep, it was an {on fire} week.

In celebration of having one of those weeks, I decided to be adventurous! Robert was being all studious, and I just felt like doing something else. If you recall from this post, we are rolling in the produce, mostly zuchinni and figs. I decided it was about time I use them in a big batch {not together}.

First, I made broiled figs with rosemary cream cheese:

Second, I made zucchini bread. I got the recipe off  this new-found cooking blog. I tried to health-ify it, but it didn't work out so well, considering I don't have a wheat grinder, or agave nectar. {oh the things I took for granted when I lived at home}. I haven't tried it yet, but Robert just did. His eyes got really big, so I am making an inference that it is the best thing he has ever put in his mouth.

To cap off my {on fire} week. I found this little gem:
