Yay-American food!!

So, this has been a great week for food. My mixes came from Amazon Grocery yesterday (somehow they got delayed in British customs?) and my boxes from my family arrived on Wednesday. I'm so happy to have food! Josh and I had Mexican tonight-it was delicious and I made banana nut bread and peanut butter cookies from my Amazon order, so we had plenty of good food. I gave Josh all of my British Bisquick mix-it tastes funny to me. He's not as picky as I am, so he was happy with it. My mom e-mailed and told me that Peter Pan PB is being recalled, which is the brand I brought with me. So I looked it up on the internet and the numbers that begin with 2111 are being recalled-ALL of mine that I brought with me start with 2111. That's very annoying-although my mom said if I cook the PB it should be ok. I'm still annoyed-it's not like I can run to the store and buy more American PB. All of my food is precious to me and I don't want to waste anything-I'm not throwing it out-I can find ways to use it.

Did everyone have a good Valentine's? Mine was ok, since I tend to be accident prone, I managed to sprain my wrist. The "brace" I was given is absolutely useless. It's like a thin sock-I don't know why I'm bothering to wear it. I'm going to try and find some tape to wrap around it. However, it's hard to track down medicine tape. We really take for granted stores like Walmart in the US-stores that have everything in one store. Here there's separate stores-I have to specifically go to a pharmacy if I need some type of medical item-it's a big pain.

I'm headed to Birmingham this weekend to get some extra hours in. They start painting the galleries next week, so we're narrowing down what paintings will or will not be displayed and then we'll start on the historical background for the paintings and galleries.
