I worked all summer to try and develop a hobby. I of course, couldn't find one. However, I did watch a lot of TV, including the movie Julie/Julia. And in said movie, Meryl Streep has a fantastic line in which she proclaims that she is not good at much, or something, but she IS good at eating.
I, am also good at eating.
So good in fact, that I got all carried away with it last year, and spent all summer paying myself back for the privilege of eating like a frat boy, by attending spin classes. Spin classes, unfortunately, are not my hobby. So, in order to avoid the need for twice-a-day spin classes ever again in my life, I decided to learn how to cook, and stop eating onion rings. Or at least, stop eating onion rings so often. (Varsity, Flip burger, I am sorry, and I miss you so....)
But, now that I am in school of a type that shall not be named, I 100% cannot afford to eat out, and in order to indulge in my eating hobby, I am cooking even more. This is a blog of the stuff I make. Or at least the stuff I make that I remember to take pictures of.
I do not promise recipes, and as the roommate can attest, if I do remember recipes, it will be in measurements of "some" or "a bunch of". Maybe I will learn how to use measuring tools, we will see.
This is the first thing I made that was worth anything this year. I made it way back in the beginning of September, and took this one picture. It is delicious, and I copied it 100% from my mom/Emeril. Seriously people, n0 creativity going on with this one. The only moderately
different thing I did here was serve it with hummus instead of tahini.
Wow Em, how creative of you, you might say. Nope. I did it because my very very limited grocery store here HAS no tahihi. The internet has tried to convince me I can make my own.... but I haven't yet. So when I make this, I use hummus as the sauce. Its still delicious, but I do think its better with tahini.
Here's the recipe.
