I think I'm sick. It's terminal. Do you know how much time I spent on the internet just looking at pictures of food and imagining all the ways I could play with the recipes? And then, I open a blog post and I… talk about food. I wish I had a bottomless stomach (and limitless bank account) so I could just cook all the time. Well, half of the time. Then the other half of the time, I could be on the internet still, looking for more recipes to improve. Maybe I should have just gone to culinary school…
I forgot to tell you what I thought about IMAX. Usually I don't really like 3D movies, they make me a bit dizzy and sometimes give me headaches. IMAX 3D was so different. It was so cool. I don't know exactly how to explain. It didn't feel like a normal 3D movie because the glasses they give you are not the cheap limited-vision ones, these ones wrap halfway around your face. Then there's the whole "huge screen" factor, which is also really cool. I've seen two IMAX movies now, one 3D and one not. This is how much I liked it: I wouldn't mind seeing every movie for the rest of forever in IMAX. Maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself, maybe I'm exaggerating too much. Maybe I need to go a few more times to collect more evidence. ;)
I also met with my Educational Career Supervisor today, she said my progress looks great and I'm on the right track. She even seems confident that they'll probably pick me to go on exchange too, so we'll see about that and keep our fingers crossed. I really want to go. Really. First selection for exchange is this month and I don't think my scores are currently good enough to make the cut, but hopefully I make second selection in September.
Bear with me for a minute as I torture myself. I promise you, I've been looking at and thinking about food all day. If I had all the time and money in the world, and a few extra stomachs (connected to other people, of course) to help me get rid of food, I would go make these enchiladas, these cute pot pies (I should buy a ramekin) and this sauce. With some pasta. And then more zucchini bread (I used this with some edits like Gouda instead of Cheddar, parsley instead of thyme, and garlic powder because I like garlic powder and I do what I want). Maybe some brownies too. And roasted broccoli because I love that stuff. With rosemary and garlic and oregano. And salt and pepper. Okay I really need to quit… I could also go for some fajitas… I do need to figure out a seasoning mix for those that I like, after all…
There is no cure for me.
I'm going to move to a remote island somewhere warm and plant huge vegetable gardens and hire some midgets (I don't know why they have to be midgets actually… I just feel like they would be super friendly but maybe that is stereotyping) to tend my gardens and eat all the food that I can't eat, and maybe I'll have to build some kind of greenhouse for vegetables that prefer to grow in cold weather like cabbage-family plants and onions/garlic/potatoes/carrots… And import grains from somewhere? I don't know where I'd get money for that, that's kind of the idea behind growing my own vegetables is that I don't have to pay for them… What a dilemma.
You could come visit me, if you wanted to do that.
