1) Earlier this week at approximately 12:15, I walked over to the office microwave to heat up some leftover pasta. One of my coworkers (I use that term liberally because she rarely does actual work) was heating something for lunch. I decided to sit by the window and wait my turn. As the rumbles in my stomach got a little louder, I looked at the time on the microwave and noticed that it had over 9 minutes left. You might wonder what gets cooked in an office microwave--or any microwave--for that long. This woman was cooking a homemade, raw hamburger patty. I kid you not. She had the bun, the patty, and the cheese to melt on top. When she pulled the cooked mess out of the microwave, it was gray.

2) This is the glory that is two cubicles away from me. For a little fun, see if you can find the aforementioned hamburger.

Starting on July 7th, I will be working as an Administrative Coordinator for the Ophthalmology Department with the University of Pennsylvania. I'm pretty stoked not to have to work with any more of my lame coworkers. Plus, I'm hoping to get some free contacts... If not, at least I'll learn how to spell ophthalmology.

Last weekend, for Memorial Day, Granny came to visit the wonder that is Philadelphia. When she said that she wanted to visit, she told us that she wanted to experience what life with Bart and Katie was like. Well, in case some of you have missed the majority of our posts, life with Bart and Katie consists of EATING--the true Philadelphia way--often and a lot. Here is what we took her to do:

This is when we took her to a local favorite: Pat's King of Steaks. You guessed it, a cheesesteak place (we also had cheese fries). 5000 calories and a three-hour rest later, we went out for water (pronounced "wudder") ice. See below:

The following day after attending our branch we thought it appropriate to eat some delicious (READ: DELICIOUS) stir fry and more importantly pig out on egg rolls*.

*Note: all of the Asian food was homemade. Not by Asians, by Bart and Katie.


As you can see, we had a wonderful visit. We are so glad that Granny came to stay with us and are really looking forward to seeing her over Thanksgiving where we will inevitably stuff ourselves full of Louisiana fare. Stay tuned for future posts where Bart experiences Luby's Cafeteria, sopapias, catfish, donuts, seafood, etc. Oh, and Thanksgiving dinner and birthday cake. Should be a full (hehehe) two days...
