during my break from posting (thanks to my awesome sister-in-law, who wrote about crazy cake), i also took a weekend-long study break with our fantastic friends (k & b), who flew up to seattle.
well, folks, this has been a big week for us up here in seattle, complete with family, food, a live show, and school!
dearest readers, i made it through my first two days of my mpa orientation at uw! i’ll admit it, i was pretty nervous before each session, but i’ve met some really nice people, and i’m starting to feel very excited about this program.
you know the desert island game, right? where you pick one food that you could live on forever if you were stranded on a desert island? well, tacos are my desert island food. i know that’s cheating a little bit, because there are so many taco ingredients. but how could i ever decide between beans, tortillas, avocado, or salsa?
fresh, local asparagus is finally back in the stores near my house, and i’m incredibly excited about it’s return. asparagus always means spring is officially here, and summer, my favorite season, is not too far around the corner. while perusing the internets for new asparagus recipes, thanks to a bunch of links from this post on cheap, healthy, good, and i stumbled across a recipe for lemon asparagus risotto. the description sounded amazing, and i had almost all of the ingredients on hand. what can i say? from there, the dish practically made itself!
