今日は or Magda's Overly Elaborate Cooking

This begins in October 2006 with my trip to Japan but segues into images of things I have cooked.

no pizza :(

We had been planning a voyage to Costco today for pizza and a few other things. But it was raining and neither Emily nor I relished a 10 miles bicycle journey in an icy (okay, it was 45 but the rain was cold) drizzle. I was not going to get more bagels, there's not enough time for me to eat them all. Tomorrow is a week before I come home!

I made onion risotto with a lot of fennel and oregano for dinner... it was quite nice. I hadn't had risotto in over a month, so it was a nice change of pace from bagels. I'm trying to finish off all my food and hopefully I will be done with it all by the weekend. Right now I have four bagels, the last third of a pouch of premade spaghetti sauce (for pizza bagels), 9 frozen shrimp shu mai, about ten onions (I've been working on them for months, literally), about a half a cup of shredded cheese that I put on my bagels or risotto or egg (for some reason, the preshredded stuff is cheaper. After break I want to get a chunk of cheese at Costco though), 3 eggs, one package of ramen, raisins, some chocolate from my huge chocolate bar, the end of both a package of butter and cream cheese and some packets of powdered corn soup (which will keep indefinately). And a bunch of rice that I am not going to finish before break. That's at least three days worth of food, I think. Only two days of breakfast, though, unless I eat some raisin risotto. Which I might.

I have not seen any bugs in my room in the last week or so, except for one this morning right near the door (which I killed). Hopefully they have all moved out or died.

I've been working on my law paper, but I am having some difficulties coming up with examples of how civil law and common law both are in effect in Quebec and Louisiana... It's hard to explain and I'm not even sure I entirely understand it. So I started working on my econ one, and the biggest question I have is why are all Japanese 1900-era socialists also Christian? I understand that socialism is more about helping the poor and stuff which is also a "christian" ideal, but it's just odd.

    so it would seem that Jamie and I are the only 2 building managers starting Friday. Shezad will not be back. And Phil got an internship so next semester he'll be gone too. It's the J-Team from now on. Yay it's almost midnight and I'm still at the library, oh finals week. You come back soon, YAY! :)
