All Things Steamy No Pun Intended

In a recent nightly conversation we had C was sharing with me that he was becoming increasingly interested in the topic of steampunk. He sent me a link that talked about the history of steampunk in Seattle. It's a fascinating read and you should definitely check out the link. I can understand and appreciate why he would be interested in it because without even knowing it I am interested in it too (even more so since reading that article). I'm currently trying to check out some of Cherie Priest's books from the library to find out more.

On another note, C's big firefighter academy test last Saturday went well. He passed the hands on portion with no problems and the written portion he will find out about in a month after it goes to the state for review & grading. We're pretty sure he passed ;-).

The last few days have been kind of quiet with us just kind of doing our own individual stuff at the moment. I suppose that is to make us appreciate when things are busy & good.

Tonight I am going to try my cooking skills at making pumpkin soup from a vegetarin recipe book my sister has loaned me. I'm hoping it turns out well. I've been trying to work on becoming a better cook as I finally have a man that seems to want me to be able to share the cooking part of the time in the kitchen when we get our own place together (hopefully later this year as promised :-) ). Will fill you in on how the recipe turned out on the next blog.
