What do you value the most?

I value my family the most. Because my family is everything, and I have fun being with them and spending time with them. They encourage me, support me, look after me, and I feel that I need to give back by doing well.

Recount - Weekend

in the weekend I drew a lot, dwarfs, elves, birds, goliaths. Sadly I haven't been able to finish a complete picture, so I'm on a drawing craze. I played some D&D (dungeons and dragons) on Saturday too.
I have recently been able to draw buffier structures and using a pen isn't as hard. Otherwise, I didn't do much. 

FTE - Pasta Salad: Huriata

Pasta Salad:

Ingredients:

• Pasta
• Ham
• Corn
• Tomato
• Red onion
• Mayo

Steps:

1. Cook pasta until it is soft, dice ham, add ham and corn to pot to warm up.
2. Drain ALL water from the pasta and run it under cold water.
3. Dice tomato and red onion into small pieces and mix with mayo.

Experience:

I only had trouble dicing the tomato and keeping the juice from spilling out too much. I'm always bad at dicing vegetables, and I normally do it just enough so it's small. This time I diced through half of the vegetables with a base at the bottom that held the diced bits on the top, then I did the rest. When I had all the ingredients in the bowl, my cooking teacher added mayo... too much for my taste. I ended up with a sore stomach but everyone else at home enjoyed it so I think it's a good quick food for guests or a BBQ.
