2nd round of midterms: (semi)check


Thank you, God.

2nd set of midterms over.

Sleep now, write paper later.

O, and I found soy chocolate mouse in Dia today!*&@$ Definitely breaks the whole "no sugar or chocolate" thing as prescribed by my doctor....however, after finishing my exams today, I felt a reward was well deserved.

Also I recently discovered I can bake gluten-free/vegan cornbread using about the only 4 ingredients i have... (corn meal, quinoa flour, baking soda, a little salt, and water). I'm in heaven! Something bready and delicious! Not as good as mom's but still good!

I made my favorite carrot potato soup with fresh spinach to go along with it. A perfect fall meal!

This next week's recipe: Roast chicken, vegan mashed potatoes, with roasted carrots, onions and tomatoes. I also recently discovered how to make homemade hummus without tahini or a blender. Cooking...who needs all these fancy ingredients and gadgets anyways?! I think it's a consumer hoax to make us buy more....

Tomorrow I'm going to the airport. To pick up a package that my mom sent, now stuck in customs. I've also been informed that the place is so obscure to get to that'll have to take a cab, and then I have to pay taxes on it to retrieve it. Goodbye hard earned euros. You felt so nice in my pocket for a few hours...

  2. You mean hummus was around before blenders or food processors? How can that be?!!!
    Sounds like you are settling in wonderfully :-)
    Love you!
