It appears that today I will be talking about food. This afternoon I realized that I bought a considerable amount of food at the grocery store, and then I'm leaving Wednesday for the weekend. Now I have to be creative in trying to eat everything that is perishable without pigging out. Should be fun. Considering I normally only eat dinner at home on school days and take a piece of fruit to school for lunch, hopefully I can work it out. Actually tomorrow and Tuesday I have classes at noon, so I'll just have an early lunch I guess.
The other day I borrowed a recipe that I found online for Spanish rice, but changed it up a bit to suit my preferences. Nothing big, I left out the chicken broth and chili powder (because I can't find chili powder), used cumin and the Dutch grocery store version of "chili powder" (it says it's Mexican style chili powder, but it seems rather fragrant-free to me and that's just wrong. Plus I don't think I could taste it at all in the rice, though I didn't add much) and swapped out the canned tomato for a chopped fresh tomato. I made that to put on nachos along with taco meat and avocado. Goes pretty good in a tortilla too. Also, in the way of nachos, I was sad that they don't have regular tortilla chips and was resigned to using Doritos, and while I was at the store looking at the 8 different flavors of Doritos that I could chose from, I noticed they had a plain flavored. Yes! Regular tortilla chips, Doritos style!
So now I have this zucchini, half a green pepper, some avocado, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and mushrooms that I need to eat before I leave Wednesday. Things that go great in ramen noodles. I decided to experiment a bit tonight and cracked an egg into my ramen while it was simmering, it was so good. Why did no one show me that earlier? Might have to do that more often.
So Wednesday (as I said before) I am leaving for Paris and Disneyland. Since Tessa couldn't go, Simona's boyfriend might be going in her place. Which would be good because then Tessa can get her money back. Also good because I hate going to an amusement park with an odd number of people. Other than that, I don't know how it will be because I've only met the guy once or twice. We all get to share one hotel room though.
I think I had more to say, but I took a 2 hour break in the middle of writing this and now I've completely spaced anything else I might have wanted to write. Goodnight!
An egg, huh? Sounds interesting. Spent the day in Lewiston with the Gpas & A. L. They wore me out & we brought home more food than we have room for.
ReplyDeleteNot that i like to complain....but perhaps you could use the day of the week to name your posts? That way it's easy to see you've posted a new one?
Love ya!
