This weekend was nice and relaxing even though I wasn't feeling well. Friday and Saturday we hung out and of course I studied quite a bit. I managed to make some really good banana bread, and tried a home made sloppy joe recipe that turned out awesome! There were sooooo good! I found it on allrecipes.com and added a couple of the suggestions found in the comment section - vinegar and chili powder. The recipe calls for only a 1/2 pound of beef so I had to quadruple the amounts, but I basically just added the ingredients to taste. I also browned the beef with onions and black pepper and i I had it, I would have added green pepper to the mix.
Sunday was the big day of house hunting. First we took Brad to look at the house in South Hutch and even though we like it, there are still some things we don't like. We then went to the other house that we both really liked from the pictures. The description of the house is not very accurate, and the pictures make it look a lot nicer than it really is -it needs a lot of work. Apparently the guy built it himself making a lot of mistakes and not finishing quite a bit of stuff. The basement wasn't completely gutted and there was mold present. There is no way the house would get approved for a loan, but with all the little things that would need to be done and who knows what mistakes he made building the place, I wouldn't want to buy it even if we had cash. I wouldn't mind fixing the place up if would have been built right to start with, but it is pretty much a mess. We have been discussing finding a lot and building a house, then we can have what we want and not have to worry about fixing anything up. The problem there is finding a lot that is in an ideal location. Until then, the hunt continues!
