That was one long summer.

Wow, I have not blogged in over a month. Maybe that's because I've been hidden up in the Colorado mountains attempting to do something called school. For those of you that don't know, I had to attend a required summer field course in the mountains in the middle of nowhere. It was probably the hardest month of my life considering there was nonstop class, papers, tests, quizzes and group work. I barely got through it but I made it. Now I'm back home, which is priceless, waiting until classes start again next week. So eating in the middle of nowhere was not good. I was prepared with lots of food in a mouse proof container. But I didn't think I would basically be able to eat nothing in the cafeteria. Luckily, there was another GF girl (my new friend) so they bought special sandwich bread for us. But it turned out it had GF oats in it so I was sick the whole first week. I finally asked them to get different bread and then they got the Whole Foods brand, which is super gross, and it had milk in it. Who puts milk in bread?! Then I realized that I basically can't eat anything, if they can't even get the right bread. Those were the closest things to my diet that I could eat there. They basically never had food I could eat for breakfast or dinner. I was worried about cross-contamination and the quality of ingredients they used were not up to my standards to say the least. So I ate my own cereal, used my own bread for lunch, ate their fruit and veggies. And then ate frozen dinners I had made for dinner. Needless to say, it was a boring month for eating. I thought 2 weeks in Europe was bad. But at least I figured out that I really just need my own food all the time so if I ever go anywhere I can just plan on that. My first dinner back home was no very exciting just a veggie burger, roasted red potatoes and black beans. I was too tired and stressed to make anything else. But last night I made pizza! That was yummy and still have left overs for tonight. Anyways, I don't know when I'll make something epic again. But I will blog when I do. As a parting gift, here's a picture of the beauty of the mountains. (I still love the ocean more)
