Regardless, in the spirit of this really cool project, I managed to take a few photos around my house and neighborhood, including some of the food I made myself this evening. I love having time to make good food! When the semester gets busy (wait...it already is!), I have to force myself to take the time, despite how rewarding it is.
Anyway, I could go on for awhile, but I'll spare you the musings. Here are the photos. :)
1. Fire!! Oh, wait...not really. This is near the bus stop, where I sometimes dash on my way to school to get to the train faster. :)
2. I don't know what it is about graffiti, but I love it. I found this one at the train station one morning last week. Look closely; I really like the orange hand prints on either side of "war".
3. Cloves! My roommate came home a few months ago with this ancient bag of spices, which we promptly hung on the wall. I love cloves. :
4. Quiche! This was an adaptation from The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook, a Christmas present from Joel that I was really excited about. It was fairly quick and easy: an almond-flour crust with parsley and shallots, baked for ~20 minutes, then filled with steamed and sauteed cauliflower, onions, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, eggs and more parsley. And some salt and pepper. It's very mild, but very delicious. I'm looking forward to having it for breakfast the rest of this week! :)
5. Last but most definitely not least, the latest variation of Betty Crocker's Gluten Free "Pumpkin" Chocolate Chip Cookies. Here's the recipe. I substituted squash for the pumpkin, cranberries for the raisins, and added about 1/4 c. of crushed pecans and 2 tsps of Kenyan Tea Masala, which is a mix of spices intended to be taken with black tea...but ginger, cardamom, mace, allspice, cinnamon, and black pepper sounded perfect for this recipe! I wasn't off-base; these are delicious. Another thing I'm looking forward to enjoying this week. :)
