: Tabbouleh-style salad hangover cure
Tabbouleh is one of my favourite salads, and a great way to use up left over grains and herbs. This is not traditional tabbouleh, but it was yummy nonetheless. It's on the top right in the picture.

: Broken Fridge Soup
Our fridge has been on the blink lately, so today I decided to use up whatever I could while I defrosted. This soup is the result. It could also be called End of Groceries Soup, Poor Student Soup, or Minestrone Soup.

: Cheesy Potato-Chili Gratin
This recipe comes from a cookbook that my boyfriend bought me, and he commented on how yummy this particular recipe sounded. And it is very yummy! He went back for large seconds last time I made it. We are having it again tonight for dinner.

: Ultimate Vegetarian Chili
I recently joined a very cool community called ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small} arty_chokes, which is sort of food-porn for vegetarians, or recipes and cooking for the visually-inclined. Basically it's "make a recipe and take pictures while you do it". And I have really been enjoying it. So far only the community owner has posted, and all her recipes and pictures have been awesome. So I thought I should try to contribute something. :) Below is the first recipe I submitted and in my next post is, you guessed it, the second recipe I submitted. I don't know if it's been approved yet for posting but it should be soonish. I wanted to keep a record here too because it took me a long time to organise these posts, let alone cook and take the pictures. :PI only thought to take pictures after I started making this for dinner tonight, so there are not as many pictures as I might have taken if I'd thought of it earlier. Also, I am an Australian (in Washington state at the moment), so I have tried to "translate" terms that might not be familiar.  This chili recipe is adapted from the Ultimate Vegetarian Chili from VegWeb. Current Mood:

: Mexican!
We had Mexican last night, and I found out that margaritas and beer do not mix well in the tummy. Current Mood:

 You are Fish 'Tacos.' You might think you're exotic and worldly-wise, but in reality you're just a bunch of crap on toast. Repeat after me: 'just because you put something in quotation marks doesn't make it so.' And 'taco' isn't Spanish for 'toast.'

Kept meaning to take a picture of the following, and I finally remembered today. Following is a notice that appeared on the fridge in the tea room at university recently. It greatly amused me.

:
I am so, so, so very happy. It's weird. At the moment I feel better than I have felt for many many years. But what a dreadful year it's been. But so very undreadful at the same time. I can't stop smiling and I can't stop singing (badly) and I can't stop feeling hopeful.
Poppies in October Even the sun-clouds this morning cannot manage such skirts. Nor the woman in the ambulance Whose red heart blooms through her coat so astoundingly -- A gift, a love gift Utterly unasked for By a sky Palely and flamily Igniting its carbon monoxides, by eyes Dulled to a halt under bowlers. O my God, what am I That these late mouths should cry open In a forest of frost, in a dawn of cornflowers. ~ Sylvia Plath 21st November 2002
: For Hermes
Slippery words wind like snakes around a staff. Twisting, shifting, holographic, parti-coloured, multi-layered words, Words that charm and flatter and coax and caress. Words that cut and bleed and slash and slice. Words that create the world and give life to thought. Words from a God, a Guide, a Magician. Guide my words, O Hermes. |
