An update on school: Class are going great, I meet with my professor to talk about my research position next week, and I’m waiting to hear back from the doctor I’m planning to shadow. My most difficult class is probably going to be Renaissance Literature. English is so not my forte. That’s alright though because Animal Physiology and Virology will totally make up for it this semester.
Wednesday Dinner: I am a terrible cook. I saw on Paula Deen that adding a splash of water to your eggs before scrambling them makes them super fluffy. Apparently I took that comment a little too seriously. I added too much water and ended up with inedible egg soup.
Today I added a little too much water to my quinoa and ended up with quinoa soup.
By the way, do you notice how measly this bowl of quinoa is? I didn’t know how much the dry quinoa would fluff up when I cooked it, so I looked at the serving size on the back. The serving size was 1/4 cup of dry quinoa. I know for next time to AT LEAST double that amount. Dinner was this bowl of quinoa soup followed by a bowl of Special K protein plus cereal topped with lots of yogurt and wheat puffs.
XOXO,
Jamie
Even your failed attempts look delicious!
I agree with Darren
Yay thanks!
Dude. Special K.
I had that for breakfast today (LOVE the Red Berries version). I think it just made your dinner perfect, haha
Totally agreed. Giant Bowl of Special K and yogurt>measly bowl of water quinoa. I am determined to get my quinoa nice and fluffy next time I make it though!
Jamie! Hope your junior year is going swell
Quinoa is super tricky – my mom and I, feeling adventurous, tried it this summer. It took us a while to get it – we also had problems with portions. Once you get it though, it’s pretty good!!
With love, Ranjana,
I first had it in the dining hall last year, and I immediately loved it. This was my first time making it myself though. I think I was just too hungry to let it simmer long enough to soak up all the water. Note to self for next time: do not wait until famished to cook dinner!
And junior year is going great. I’m just nervous and super busy with studying for the MCAT. I have no motivation for it anymore. I feel like it’s such a waste of time. I hope school is going well for you also!
