i took out the trash today, and couldn't help but notice how nice it was:

i walked around, looking at the greenery and whatnot.. and thought, it'd be nice to just lay around outside somewhere, and take in the nice weather. too bad all i had was a beach chair, and our balcony wasn't very sunny. but then i had the best idea ever: why not hang out at the pool, where there's comfy pool-side chair thingies?

magazines (thanks to wendi) and swim stuff, in case i decide to swim (which i didn't).

the chair thingies.. i don't know what they're called.
nice and relaxing.. good way to enjoy the sun.
/me falls asleep at work... unnnnnhh...
so i got these chicken bouillon cubes from my parents. you use them to make broth. i browned some ground turkey, and while that was happening, i made the broth and cut up some veggies (cucumbers and.. some asian vegetable, i don't know what it's called). once the turkey was browned, i turned up the heat, added garlic, put in the chopped up veggies, stirred a little bit, then added the broth, and covered. so the veggies got boiled/steamed, and the meat cooked more in the juices. pretty good, and an easy way to cook meat and veggies in one pan.
