If there's one thing Ive learned from living in a country where nothing is edible-- it's how to cook for myself. Like, real cooking. Before I came here I would have never biked in the rain to the grocery store at 9:30PM, bought ingredients like ginger and pumpkin, and brought them home to accompany my soaking garbanzo beans in what would soon become a delicious curry. I would have never spent over an hour boiling and sautéing food that would be eaten only by me, while sitting on the floor in front of the television.
I would have gone to Taco Bell after work. It's open late.
And, this isnt even the first time ive done this; it happens three or four times a week!
Oh, and to just pile on how super productive today has been, I also learned how to say "I like Japanese" in Japanese!
Watashi wa Nihongo ga suki desu.
[わたしは日本語がすきです]
This almost makes up for Monday, when I stayed in bed until 4 eating chocolate and talking to Owl Skunk.

Also, it´s funny how desperate we people have to get to actually start behaving better. I for one am trying to sidestep my internet addiction right now. Habits suck!

You've just gone way up in my potential wife-material stakes. I'm probably a little old for you, but...
that looks beautiful and possibly tasty.
I have one slice of ham, several slices of provolone, five stalks of asparagus, some marinara sauce, and two bananas. What can I make with these ingredients?
Are those Canadian Chickpeas in your curry? Canadian chickpeas are world-known to have splendid flavour, capturing the essence of the Great Canadian Plains and the wonderful Mecca at it's centre, the city of Saskatoon!
