This is my first blog posting ever. Interesting, eh? The youngest and only male Arndt kid, who preferred math and sports over books (unlike his sisters), doesn't maintain an online journal? Crazy, I know. Also, Jen and I don't have a camera right now, so pardon the mediocre phone pictures.
This weekend Jen and I grew up a bit. And by that I mean, we started a garden. While apartment hunting a few months ago, we actually picked our new unit within the complex based on two things: how our sectional couch fit into the living room (think left-handed vs. right-handed), and more importantly here, which balcony received better sunlight.
We began with herbs. While I appreciate beauty, at my core I'm all about utility. So, on a beautiful Saturday afternoon here in Houston, Jen and I drove to a nearby garden store. After walking around for a while as if we knew what we were looking for, we finally asked an employee for help. We picked out pots and herbs (rosemary, basil, and dill), and then super luckily got to plant them (for free!) at the store.

Back at home, Jen and I put our pots on the balcony and are adjusting to the new responsibility of "watering."

Stay tuned for posts about actually cooking or eating food. They're a' coming!
