i know.

there are one thousand million photographs from april in my camera. in just a short* while, you will see them. this semester has made me stupid busy.

*by short, i mean less than 2 weeks.

slow food, slow april.

i will write again. these are tough times for the graduate student.

i pity the fool.

i can't believe it's april. i am so sleepy and have so much to do. there are photos of food and policy craziness (like the potential for the fda to label foods with dye!) to write about on here.

watch out for tricks.

carbo-loading.

in which i made versions of half of the april bon appetit: lemon-olive oil roasted potatoes, strawberry mozarella salad, pea+radish+goat cheese+arugula something, as well as a salad of feta, tomatoes, onions, and shell pasta.

hey! shira was running a half-marathon. i was supportive of the prep-eating.

this guy.

a post-dog park dinner with casey and huck.

i was in the mood for potato salad and stopped by the food cooperative and wound up with all sorts of goodies, like small ciabattas.

what did i do with them? well, let me tell you. i sauteed a bit of kale in olive oil with garlic.  i sliced the ciabatta in half: one side got the kale and the other had sliced mushrooms, tomatoes, and cheddar. and a bit of mayonnaise.

and then, my super sandwiches set my toaster on fire. don't worry! i unplugged it and didn't open the door, following the instructions on the front of it. the sandwiches were not even burned. can you believe it?

but. the potato salad. i used the spectrum canola mayonnaise. but i am a hellman's kind of girl. and i think there are some things that just need to taste a certain way. my potato salad was not what i envisioned. it was sub-par. hellman's is the most superior mayonnaise. next time, if i want a non-mass-produced, potentially-healthier mayonnaise, i am just going to make it myself. it's just eggs and oil.

in conclusion, a salad of beets, carrots, and tomatoes, with goddess dressing.

and then i vacuumed. because huck leaves his hair all over the place. luckily, i don't mind too much.

breaking news.

good morning. it's saturday. i ate breakfast without an egg in it.

full-fat cream-top yogurt with banana and cinnamon.

been too long.

tuesday night was a spring rolls kind of night.

with spinach, yellow bell pepper, carrots, and cucumbers. and a spicy peanut sauce with sriracha.
