Such is the Life of a College Student



Eggs & Toast

To order delivery or to save money & make breakfast? That is my pathetic dilemma for this lazy Sunday morning, so I opted for eggs sunny-side-up–I realize one didn’t retain its circular shape, trust me, I was not pleased–with toast topped with butter, eggplant garlic spread (Trader Joe’s), wild arugula, & gouda cheese. On another note, can I just say that I’m really excited that it’s raining? Even though this weather generally makes people feel lazy, I’ve been pretty productive & it’s only 2 PM. Maybe it was my breakfast?

This year I’ve become incredibly disconnected with my domains, barely updating them while they sit around wasting money. I’m not able to pinpoint the exact reason why I’ve been so distant from the whole thing, but I think I’m slowly getting back into it. Seriously, maybe it was my breakfast, it was pretty good. Trader Joe’s knows how to make some delicious eggplant garlic spread. I’m pretty energized…so tempted to put my rain boots on & splash around like a duck. But what would my hot neighbors think? First world problems.



The End of Fall Quarter



Caroline frolicking in a field in Utah

Fall quarter is almost over & I’m only now updating with new albums since September. Finals are just around the corner so I can’t exactly frolic on the weekends like I have been for the past 8 weeks. I’m encountering some major Senioritis & I need help fighting it! I blame Reddit for all of my procrastination problems.

Since I haven’t updated in a few months, I figured I’d just post a series of pictures I just took of the sushi I made. It’s not very aesthetically pleasing, but I’ll get the hang of it eventually.


A sushi cookbook I just purchased

Normally I’d use my lightbox script for organization, but a lot of people seem to skim the part when I tell them to click the picture to see more. So, now you get to see all the pictures laid out without extra clicking, just more scrolling.


Instructions on making sushi rice

I’ve made sushi countless times, but I was curious to see what the book’s instructions were on how to make sushi rice. Not surprisingly, it was similar to the way I make sushi rice.


Cucumber & Sesame Rolls

Since I don’t have any fish, I figured I’d check out their cucumber recipe. I added a bit of avocado in the roll to give it a creamy texture.


Cucumber & Avocado Roll

I added a bit of rice seasoning into my rice to give it a bit of flavor. I adorned the dish with hot sesame oil, unagi (eel) sauce, wasabi, & sriracha.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone (just in case I don’t update by then)!



Summer Reading



Stuffed Bell Peppers

Putting my new iPad 2 to good use, I’ve been trying out all sorts of new recipes such as this stuffed bell pepper dish from AllRecipes.com. They turned out to be really tasty.


Summer Reading

Even though I’m really busy this summer, I’ve made it a personal summer goal to read all 5 of these books, which include:

  • A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
  • Genie by Russ Rymer
  • Intern by Sandeep Jauhar
  • The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan
  • Witches of East End by Melissa de la Cruz

I’m having one heck of a summer so far.



Food & LA



Eggs over easy, scrambled eggs, spinach salad, & a soy Polish sausage

Transitioning from eating meat to just seafood isn’t so bad when you’ve got great delicious soy alternatives! They’re about the same price as the real thing or a bit cheaper, so I don’t really buy too much of it & stick with tofu for my protein needs.


Jap Chae

A while back, I made Jap Chae, a Korean side dish. Simple, delicious, & easy to make! I’ve also added more albums containing food & explorations of LA.

Days 97 through 140 of my failed Project 365. CLICK THE PICTURE to see days 97-140.

I have a bunch of other pictures I need to sort through, so these are not the last of my P365! These were from September through October of 2010, so don’t mistake them for being recent. I’ve also updated the gallery yet again. I seem to always forget to upload pictures I take at Kabuki, but they are all up now.
