His degree is in geography with an emphasis in geographic information systems. I still don't really know what that means, but I know he's smart! To celebrate I made these super yummy bars (but please excuse the picture- I am in no way a good photographer):
That is a layer of brownies- from SCRATCH! and a peanut butter filling all topped with chocolate ganache. mmmm. I just ate one and cannot even stand to eat another because it was so rich. This recipe is definitely one for the records. It kind of tastes like a Reese's peanut butter cup but in a brownie bar. I'm not the only one who has been learning new recipes though. This past Monday Keith let me teach him how to make manicotti. It turned out great except that I bought Hunt's sauce and I didn't like it as much as others. That's weird though that I could even tell a difference because I'm usually not that picky. Anyway, more camera-phone pictures:
Other than dabbling with cooking, our life has been pretty quiet. Busy but quiet. I'll be starting my clinical hospital time any day now and that will be awesome but crazy. 12-hour shifts in the ER, OR, ICU, and labor & delivery until I reach 270 hours. Hopefully I will learn a lot and have fun doing it. My fire rides don't start until April. Then I'll be doing eight 48-hour shifts at the fire station. I guess I'm trying to say that I'm enjoying the quiet time now because it's not going to last long!! It's a common joke among recently graduated paramedics that upon graduating they had to reintroduce themselves to their spouse. I'm not looking forward to that, but I have a strong conviction that I'm where I'm supposed to be and doing what I'm supposed to do. But WOOHOO for surviving the first semester of my program!! Now that's another good cause to celebrate. I guess it's time to go eat another brownie :)
Good job Keith!
ReplyDeleteYay for Keith and yay for you, Amanda! You are doing so great in your program, and we're so excited that Keith will "walk" in April. That's pay day for moms and dads. :) We'll be praying for you both as you get through this busy time. You're going to learn so much!!!
ReplyDeleteRegarding the recipes...YUM! When things settle down, maybe you could indulge us with a sample of your dishes if we make it up there for a visit. They look amazing!
