I will openly admit to not being of the culinary persuasion. I don't pretend that I know what I'm doing in the kitchen. I insist on making lists for the grocery store and measuring out every single ingredient. But it just so happens that, tonight, I stepped-up my game.
Courtesy of Pinterest and a few Vegetarian-Foodie blogs, I found two recipes for Eggplant Parmesan and Carrot Fries. As I've never attempted to cook either of these before, I was extremely nervous. Luckily, my roommates (whom I was cooking for) were out of the apartment when I was frantically preparing the veggie feast. An hour of preparing and cooking later, my roomies and I sat around our living room table (we don't actually have a kitchen table.....#studyabroadproblems) and feasted on the fruits of my labor. It may not have been 4 star quality, but I don't think I did too shabby if I do say so myself.
In other news, my old roommate ventured back to the States today. I truly can't believe how quickly our week together passed; however, I'm pleased to say that we had a fantastic time and surely we won't forget this for awhile.....well, at least until the next bunch of shenanigans occurs.
I'm off to complete hours of homework before skyping with my younger brother, who is currently a freshman at the University of Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, with a 6-hour time difference, I'm forced to stay awake until midnight to begin our skype. Luckily, my teachers were kind enough to provide me with enough homework to fill that gap....so cheers to them.
Hope you're all loving the beginning of autumn in the states. It's my favorite season and I'm a tad distraught to be missing apple-picking trips and pumpkin spice lattes.......first world problems? Absolutely.
