Pre-Semester Stress

Was feeling really stressed out today so I decided I wanted to bake something to work off my stress. I would have ran but it was too hot out. I walked to Shaws with a friend with the intention of baking cupcakes. Unfortunately Shaws didn't have cupcake trays so I ended up baking chocolate chip cookies and sugar cookies.

I'm Back!

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Spent a week in El Salvador building houses for Habitat for Humanity and then spent another week at home. Got back on campus and spent about two days settling into my new room in the Green Tower. I'm finally satisfied with how things look. If only my posters would stop falling down! Anyway, I cooked for the first yesterday night. And I was able use an oven finally because my new dorm has an oven! I made Italian baked chicken pastina. It was a featured dish on the Food Network's website.

Nonsense Dinner

My dinner tonight was such a mix things that don't really belong together. I couldn't decide what I wanted. I made roasted chicken and garlic flavored rice pilaf, spicy shrimp (though it did not turn out as spicy as I intended) and tortilla chips with salsa and cheddar cheese baked on top (this was really yummy and oh so easy).

Pasta First

My main dish for today is roast garlic and cherry tomato pasta. This was my first time making pasta. FYI Bengali people aren't big on making pasta. Now I'm contemplating between making chessy salsa baked tortilla chips or going out for a run before it gets dark.

Oh to be a bored college student stuck on an empty campus in the middle of suburbia.

Light Snack

Meant to post this yesterday. I made paprika roast potato strips. They were supposed to be paprika roast potato chips but didn't turn out crunchy as they were supposed to because I'm working with a conventional oven here. Still good though.
