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!

I have a few things to update on today =) Oh I just finished the best meal I've had since I arrived and it was oh sooooo good! I'm so full and happy right now! It was a mexican meal so at least i know i'm going to the right country. yesterday Tere asked me to lead a little yoga class. automatically i said yes because that's how i am, but on the walk from the classroom to outside i started to get nervous. the only person i ever lead in yoga was karen & she laughed the majority of the time (it doesn't really count). i just took deep breaths and i did it. it actually was great. once we started i was able to integrate some favorite posses of the people in the class it was great towards the end when marcelle (who is rather soft spoken, but i love her) lead a few poses as well. i was actually happy with myself. namaste i love our group. everyone is similar that we all have this interest to do missionary work, but we are all very unique and different at the s

Skyline Views

I finished reading My Heart is an Idiot a couple weeks ago.  The author lived in Chicago for a bit and had several essays in the book where he mentioned Chicago. In one essay he mentioned the skyline view from Augusta & Wood.  I was curious so I decided to go for a bike ride and check out this "amazing" view of the skyline. This was it, people.   Hmmm.... I think I had a better view on the Damen bridge just north of Fullerton on my way there.  I am a sucker for the unexpected skyline views around the city (like on Damen).  I'll also throw in the view from Chicago and Halsted.  Also the orange line between Western and 35th/Archer is pretty amazing.  Do you have any places you love to take in the unexpected view? I'm not talking the Adler... I consider that expected.

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire alarm (to no avail) and open windows to let out smoke. Then Mike
