Dear Worldwide Diary,
OK so it's like 10am and I'm just hanging out on the computer (eating mixed nuts). Kal let me sleep in at his place after he left for work - trusted me enough with his spare key and to be alone with all his things....including everything in his cupboards. This kid isn't so well stocked on snack foods but has a lot of yummy ingredients like coconut, chocolate chips, nuts, and his mom loaded him up with like a MILLION packets of Carnation Instant breakfast. I have never seen as many packages except for the shelf in the store in which they sell them lol Anyway, he has left his key with me a few times before. I feel he doesn't think much of it, but it girl world - it's huge. It's nice to know he trusts me, especially since we haven't known each other in person all that long (month and a bit). To me, for some reason, it feels like I've known him for a long time.
I am super unemployed at the moment. I honestly haven't been without work and school at the same time in....since I was 16 and I got my first job at Dirty Bird (KFC). I don't quite know what's going on with me, but I apply to a lot of things; I've had some interviews but to no avail. I'm 24 years old - I've graduated highschool, I have a college diploma, I have a university degree......and I'm willing to ask how much cream you want in your coffee....but no takers lol. I always complained about having no time to do anything...and now I have way too much time on my hands lol. Poor Kal having to entertain me and keep my confidence from crumbling.
We've been cooking together more lately and I think its bringing us closer. We are finding out what each other likes and doesn't like.....which means Kal finds out what I don't like and then challenges me to eat it again (or try it for the first time). Last night it was Salmon and before last night I thought it was one of the most disgusting things on the planet. I used to work in a retirement home kitchen and one of my food prep jobs was to de-bone/de-skin canned salmon for salmon salad sandwiches and it grossed me out. The whole kitchen would smell like fish. My mom ate the canned stuff growing up until my father banned it from the house in his presence. Last night Kalon W challenged me to face Salmon once again. For the first time in front of it, I opened my mouth and complaining didn't come out - the fish went in. IT WAS DELICIOUS!!!!!!!! It was so good that I didn't even care that the clean plate and smile on my face meant Kal had full opportunity to say "I told you so".......but he didn't. I am so lucky to have a man (more gracious than myself) to politely say "I'm glad you liked it, it's one of my favourites too". I'll get him to put the recipe in our "Recipes for Success" sections so everyone else can try it too. [EDIT: Recipe Available]
Have a great day everyone!

Today's tid bit about Kal - he hates the taste of water. He always mixes some kind of flavour in before he drinks it :oP
