Friggin' meatballs

practicalcatI made meatball stew in my slow cooker today, courtesy of Women's Day (recipe). Alas, I forgot that ground meat hates me. For some reason, whenever I cook it, it remains pink. Like these meatballs -- they were in the slow cooker for over seven hours and they were still pink inside. Very annoying. It happened when I made meatloaf in undergrad, and that wasn't in the slow cooker.
On the other hand, I am going to use cream of mushroom soup for everything now. I've got some veggies I need to use up, they're all frozen together in a big lump so some kind of veggie soup it is.
Also, finally finished my Reference Scenarios project. It took longer than it should have, I think. And not just because I got an extension. Eurgh, brain ache.
In other news, my roommate's dog is very needy. And persistent. If I'm studying in my room and my roommate's out, the dog comes and whines at my door for HOURS or until I let her in or move out to the living room (I keep my door shut so that my cat-loving-but-allergic boyfriend has a cat-free space when he visits). She is also very curly, because she got soaked during her walk today, and her fur is long enough to curl now.
