I honestly thought way back in September that during this last week of classes I’d be balled up on my bed crying for tire swings and all things childhood. Either that or constantly peeing my pants. Really, it was a toss up between the two. Who thought I’d be making food! Not me. Well, maybe [...]
So here is a picture of my lentils before they turned into dal. Aren’t they lovely? Don’t they just appear to be fantastic? Stop it. Stop it right now! You know what they will look like, so I’m just showing you before the magic happens. Because really, who wants to see another posted picture of [...]
The day before my last three days of school was so nice. I did homework and ate. Oh, wait. That’s all I ever do. Well, hey, then my life is nice! What? Socialize? You kid me. Pffft. What do you call sitting next to people in class huh? Hmm. Subject change real quick. I just [...]
That’s right. I took a nap that long. It was amazing. I didn’t even cognize that I was tired, not until I hopped onto my bed to turn on the light next to it. That final Spanish portfolio that’s due tomorrow? Yeah, it’s due tomorrow. I totally had this plan to finish it tonight and [...]
Hummus drizzled over falafels? Yes please. Beans drizzled over beans? Yes please. I got this pita sandwich from a semi-new mediterranean deli (aptly named “Mediterranean Deli”) here in Dinkytown. I hope they get business (there weren’t many people there at all), as there are roughly three types of humans in Dinkytown, from what I can [...]
These were all I ate before I presented like none other has (or ever will) about the history of North Korea. Regardless of what I am, I have always believed these to be a treat of the gods. Including the raisin part. What’s with the oatmeal raisin hate anyway? Sometime in the future I’m going [...]
Gotta love the ever versatile tuber. Why, the options are endless! Me? I choose to either fry it chip or french fry style. Maybe, just maybe I’ll try mashed potatoes later! Oh, and can’t forget that hash! I’m being mildly sarcastic here. Can you tell? I need to work on this whole thinking what I’m [...]
The tomato sauce is made from fresh tomatoes, expelled of their seeds, cooked in a bit of olive oil with a clove of garlic until they’ve loosened up a bit (uptight little things that they are). After that, a generous portion of greek yogurt is melted in. The noodles were special too, as they were [...]
Because I couldn’t possibly be at my place. No! No one would ever expect to find white flour and white sugar at my place. Lucia doesn’t eat those things, she doesn’t cook with those things. Well, did you think I’d talk in third person, too? Surprises, everywhere! Truth be told, I bought those heavenly ingredients [...]
…God knows you want to now. Garlic and fish breath? Oh, behave. This lettuce was really great though. It wasn’t typical romaine, which I often find to be bitter and watery. If I remember the name I’ll edit this post…check back, my flunkies!
Chow, Lucia
PS By “flunkies” I mean my esteemed readers. Obvs.
