Got Zucchini?

When my mom came up a couple weeks ago she brought me zucchini, potatoes, green beans, tons of tomatoes, eggs, etc.
Needless to say, I was super excited!  All these fresh vegetables!


I've been eating lots of tomato sandwiches and I'm planning on making a tomato curry.


Last week I used up the last of the zucchini!  I made a couple recipes that weren't very good, and I didn't share them.  One recipe that was oh so good!  Spicy Zucchini Frittata

I made some minor changes from the recipe listed: no salt, less eggs.  And I cooked it longer than recommended because I like my eggs completely cooked.


One thing I didn't have in my place as I was getting ready to prepare it:  jalapeños!  If you know anything about me from reading about my cooking adventures, you'll know I like spicy food so I headed to the grocery store for a jalapeño.  How much do you think it was?  I'll tell you.  8¢!  Yes, you read that correctly, 8¢!!!  That right there is enough of a reason to buy fresh jalapeños.


I added an extra bit of salsa when I served it, but it is so good.  I highly recommend this recipe!  It's very easy too!

museum field trip

i've been doing really well on my field trip resolution . yesterday i hit up another one:  the chicago history museum .  it turns out it was a free day there, even though i was going to get in free anyway.  that means it was busy! which is fine, i still got to take a gander around.   I've never been to the history museum before so that in itself was exciting. probably my favorite part was when they talked about the world's fair in chicago (i can't remember the exact name).  the buildings were so much grander than i imagined them in my mind while i read, devil in the white city a couple months ago.  it was fun to see what it was really like.  and wow! there was also an awesome exhibit about workers rights and such. so it was a fun little excursion.

thanksgiving time

( via ) Yes, I like Santa.  But why is everyone so anxious to start with Christmas?  Why can't we appreciate Thanksgiving first? don't get me wrong, i'm excited to watch Love Actually again (when it's in-season.  i actually watch it all year long). everyone kept talking about christmas being everywhere this month, but i really only encountered it when i walked around the mall with Greta (my sister-in-law) on Monday.  it was all over the mall.  it could have been december. look what Nordstrom is doing i'm actually really excited for thanksgiving this year... (details to follow) but as far as today goes... I have to share this with you because I think it's funny ( via ) actually... at 11:11 I was running around looking for a book called The Moon Seems to Change

Birthday

i was yawning? Here I am: 28! Top 5 of 27: LouFest Marathon Florida (how can a vacation not make it?) New Job trip to Savannah to meet Callie ! My parents came to Chicago last weekend to help me celebrate & celebrate we did!  It was a super fun weekend!  And it was 40 degrees! Friday I was on the phone with a member from Kansas City.  He started chatting with me about the weather and I said, "we are currently experiencing a heat wave in Chicago of 34 degrees."  He responded, "it's supposed to be 60 here this weekend, we're going to pull out our bbq grills."  I laughed, but thought, 'why are my parents coming here?!? why am I not going where it's warm?!?' SIXTY DEGREES!  We won't see that til...april?  may? obsessed  i made a baby snowman, no one wanted to help so i went with a tiny one... ;) What I would give for the day off today!  I want a nap ;)
