So, as I sit here writing my lecture for my intro to sociology class that begins next week, I am ridiculously irritated w/the author for doing a shitty job explaining the theories (particularly Marx, since I am a Marxist, duh). At least I have 20 pages of notes on the 3 basic theories from my other sociology class to impart some much needed theoretical wisdom on these kids.....(wait, I am only 25, can I call my students "kids"? Particularly when I know there are at least 5 students in the class my age or older? It's like getting my M.A. made me instantly stuffy or something)
Anyways.....
After these lectures are *finally* finished I get to go home, do whatever dishes already exist in the sink, and start rocking out some prep work for tomorrow's cookout.*
*My first real job was as a food prep cook at Red Lobster--yes I was a vegetarian working in a kitchen among a lot of icky, stinky, marine-being flesh--but, it taught me the value of prepping what can be stored before hand!
I am planning on cooking the black-eyed peas, so I don't have the stove on for an hour then the oven on for 2 hours in the 90+ degree heat; pressing and marinating the orange mojo tofu (yes, another Viva Vegan! recipe--modified for the grill); making the quinoa cornbread dough and marinating, massaging, and makin' the carrot-cayenne slaw. I may also make the simple sugar syrup and rosemary-flavored water for the lemon-limeade....we will see how long these lectures take me.
I will definitely take some prepping pics, and (duh!) muchos fotos de la fiesta. I may even upload them on the roomies computer (still a broken laptop) and post them before my weekend ATL trip for the conference.
Eagerly anticipating tomorrow's deliciousness:)
