I have a real kitchen now, as the furniture is set up, the counters are clean, and the dishes are done. Storage is still pretty tight, but I think I can get rid of a few unnecessary things and then have room for everything.

Katy and I had dinner here last night, which consisted of baked, peppered lemon sole fillet, red dolce peppers sauteed with strawberry jelly, pasta with a cheese and cream sauce, draped with garlic, mushrooms, onions, and with thinly sliced tomatoes on top. I think the sole could have remained in the oven for a minute or so longer, but Katy assures me it was fine. Otherwise, the dinner turned out very well, and I think my Pittsburgh cooking debut was adequately impressive. I certainly didn't want to botch it the first time and send Katy away screaming, never to return for food.

This morning's breakfast was poached organic eggs (I figured out how to adjust the flame on my stove, so now I can poach stuff) and some excellent, thick, natural bacon from the Whole Foods Market butcher. My kingdom for a toaster, so maybe next time there will be toast involved, too. Hmm, time to shop for toasters.

Rather, it's time to go to class.

But, first, a weather report from our meteorology department: highs in the mid-to-upper 80s and sunny, with lows in the 60s, until Thursday; some showers expected at the end of the week with highs dropping into the 70s; sunny and warm with highs in the mid 70s and lows in the mid 50s for the weekend.

Oh, and the Steelers kicked ass yesterday, 7-34 over the Titans, whoever they are.
