cooking dinner. scallops (on sale at sentry!) and broccoli with quinoa. had my first ever massage. at inner fire yoga. all geared up to have a nice evening – massage, cooking, relaxing. and then my car battery died. less than peaceful evening, turns out. car problems make me nervous and tense. good thing my insurance company paid for my massage, right?

roommate dinner. baked lemon-garlic-pepper salmon, cumin quinoa, and sautéed broccoli. cooking with fred & shannon. ryan made it home in just the nick of time to join in on the eating. shannon cutting into the salmon. enjoyed the perfect dinner with wine and whiskey. the night quickly turned to game night complete with chutes & ladders and loaded questions.

making dinner. hummus-grape-almond-honey pizza. it may not sound delicious, but that is exactly what it is. jason made one of these back in my baldwin street days, and it was mighty tasty back then. i had been meaning to make it for a while now. when i saw grapes on sale at coops, i knew today was my day. cooked it up, and enjoyed it in front of ‘the us vs. john lennon’. oh, uh, and the weekend first-aid kit was slowly making its way back to the bathroom by way of the stove, it appears...

cooking dinner. roasted tomato and pesto marinara sauce to go with pasta. tasty recipe i picked up from either vegetarian times or eating well. it made a lot of sauce. a lot of sauce. i used the amount i needed for the box of pasta, and could have easily added three or four boxes of pasta. i have some awesome leftovers. for months.

making myself some pesto. spinach-almond-garlic-parmesan-olive oil pesto. my favorite. mixing it in with gnocchi and veggies. still a favorite meal for me. and a quick quick meal, too. which is exactly what i need for a late start to my dinner. i picked up some potter’s crackers, and fontania cheese at the store for a personal appetizer while dinner was in the works. good idea, breanna.

new roommate fred. in the kitchen making some chex mix. fred had an itch for some chex mix, so we went over to sentry and picked up ingredients. the three boxes of chex cereal all had different recipes for chex cereal snacks. fred trying to determine which box – the rice, the corn, or the wheat – holds the recipe we were looking for.

back to madison i am. a day full of emails at the medical foundation. lucky for this gal, deniz took me out for lunch since my food cabinet was everything but full. swung by the store and got back in the kitchen right away after work. after eating out essentially everyday for a month, i was itching to be cooking again. and good thing i had a few editions of vegetarian times and eating well waiting for me when i got back. my veggie wraps turned out not so good, but whatever. turns out i don’t like store-bought dolmas. lesson learned.

making some dinner in the hostel in nice with roommate lachlan. he was our roommate at the hostel in paris, and became our roommate at the hostel in nice. cutting up some veggies for a pasta stir-fry after spending the day on the beach. hostels with a kitchen are quickly becoming one of my favorite things. after day upon day of eating out at restaurants three meals a day, nothing quite beats cooking a fresh meal.

cooking – or prepping veggies to cook – at becky’s place in london. another night of veggies. this time with rice and rice noodles. on our way back from a day out and about (read: sleeping until noon) we swung by the grocery store to pick up food to cook. becky’s flatmates paulius and urte were around cooking, too, when we got home and hung around the for evening conversation and music.
