What did you do with the extra hour?

We've fallen back an hour and gained more time in the day. Most people were probably productive and did school work. I, for one, worked enough hours the past two days to make my head spin so insteaddddd, made a simple dinner that had many many mannnyyy components:

TACO SALAD!



Consists simple of: romain lettuce, tomato spiced rice, ground beef, crushed can tomatoes (didn't have salsa), guacamole, sour cream, some cheddar cheese and Tostitos chips!

Long time no post!

Didn't get to cook much since the last week of October was reading week. Went home to Ottawa, so got Mom to cook for me instead...it was glorious....

I did however pack little (well...big..) breakfast for Mark and myself for the train ride home.



While in Toronto I picked up some inari skins in Korea town. So first thing possible, I made us a big sushi lunch, first day back from reading week! Below from left to right, are:
  • Mini spam nigiri
  • Avocado rolls
  • California rolls (minus cucumbers)
  • Inari sushi filled with carrots and mushrooms mixed with rice

Its always hard to make small amounts of sushi. It is so unreasonable to cut only 1/4 of an avocado and see what to use the other chunk for...or make only 3 inari sushi when a pack of 8 has been opened. So overall, made 4 trays of food, feeding a total of 5!


Wednesday's food...made a trip to Whole Foods and bought this lovely chicken thigh. Decided to do a simple salt and pepper and fried it up. Served with steams Green Leaf lettuce, one portion of rice stuffed in an inari skin (had to use up the rest since I ran out of carrot/mushroom rice yesterday...oops!). Served with a quarter of a jelly and butter sandwich for dessert!

Thursday I was going to serve the last 8 inari skins half filled with rice and other half is tuna and diced apple salad. However, a friend invited us over and we all shared a lovely picnic style lunch!
(Never realised Chai tea was so awesome...)
