Epic Meal





What to do when on a deserted campus with nothing to do and not many people to hang with? That's the situation my friend Carlos and I were in tonight. So we decided to walk to Whole Foods and agreed to each make a dish. I decided to make my specialty of balsamic chicken with avocado salad and sauteed broccoli. Carlos made smoked salmon on baguette brie with italian cherry tomatoes. For desert we had cannoli.

Too bad I lost my apetite by the time I finished cooking and Carlos started to get sick. Well enjoy the pics even though we didn't get to enjoy the meal.

My Own Room!


One fact of my life is that I have never had a room of my own. I shared a room with my sister for all my life and then got to college and had to share a room with three other girls. This summer I decided to room again with one of my former roommates. She was only here for the first half of summer so she left yesterday. Now not only do I have my own room for the first time in my life but I also get to have a double as a single. Finally I can unbox my stuff and stop living like a squatter!

By the way, today has been the longest day ever. I've been up since 4am! I don't know what to do with myself since classes are done and I don't have work till Monday. I walked to Whole Foods in the morning (even though I have a month's supply of food in my room) and bought so much fruit and other such yummy-ness that I was $3 away from getting an overdraft fee. I need to stop spending all my money on food and appliances. I rearranged things in the room to make it look less cramped and I have 1.5 three shelf bookselves filled with food (and more in 2 fridges). I admit, I have a problem. At least I'm past denial...

I've been really lazy about cooking this week. It had such an intense beginning with three finals and all. I cooked today but it was such a simple dish it shouldn't even count as cooking. I made sauteed broccoli. Took 30 seconds to prep because I chopped the the onion and pepper with my Magic Bullet and the broccoli was bought precut. All that was left to do was stir it in the pan for 5-10 minutes and salt to taste.

Sorry for the ugly presentation of the dish. And I wish I had an SLR. I should be eating Ramen and saving my money for that.
