This morning Jordan came up to me and asked “is tonight soup night?” Everyone is getting into the Monday night spirit (as they should, soup night is awesome.) I didn’t post pictures from last week’s cauliflower soup (fun but I wouldn’t recommend) or from the soup that I made for Friday night dinner two weeks ago (as part of my tu beshvat meal that Jessica sort of posted about), so those will just sneak into this post. This week was Tali’s grandmother’s red lentil soup, I don’t have a link to the recipe, but really you can’t go wrong with red lentils. Keep reading →

My version of a super bowl post
Let me introduce you to my suitemate Jordan. Just about all you need to know about her right now is that she’s from New Orleans. I don’t know so many people from New Orleans, but apparently if you’re from New Orleans you’re a Saint’s fan no matter what. Exhibit A: this is currently Jordan’s gchat status.
Jordan’s been talking about the superbowl for two weeks now. She even purchased these lovely leggings for the occasion (and no, this is not a picture of her)
While I think she should still try to join the rest of her brethren at Bar None I’m sure no matter where she’ll be she’ll go just a bit insane.

Just call me baroness ravioli
Where I spent my evening… dressed like the mother of a 1920’s mafiosa (alas I have no pictures because Esther is not the best photographer… but I believe Sarah B took a few when she was helping me get dressed and telling me that I look lovely with my hair pulled back off my face… so I’ll post those soonish)

All preperation for a behanding
So those of you who know me (who am I kidding, if you’re reading this blog, you know me pretty well and are just waiting to see if you’re tagged in this post) know that of late I’ve kind of been obsessed with the theater, as in, seeing as much as I possibly can now that I’m a student and can get $10 tickets to shows like this. I also like the funny ones, the ones with super famous people, the ones that also have famous people but speak to me on some deeper level.
This past Saturday night Jess and I saw one that combines just about all of this. In all honesty, it first intrigued me because of Hugh Dancy and because it is in a smaller theater down town and not in Times Square, but it surpassed all my expectations. I had never heard of Ben Whishaw, but I can assure you that Bright Star is now first on my netflix queue. I’m not going to try and summarize the play, all I can say, is go see it now. Who knows, perhaps you, like Jess will “dream of you dancing.”

On the bright side
TGIM. That means soup day.
I know I’ve been slacking on the food photos, I’ll try to start making up for that. Basically every (well most) Monday nights Tali and I make soup. (It started out as wine, turned to wine and ice cream, morphed into wine + ice cream + soup, and now it’s just soup… now that I think about it, we should bring back the wine and ice cream…)
Anyway, we’re going to start switching off who gets to choose the recipe. This week it was Tali. She went with a fiery tofu and coconut curry soup.
Without further ado, pictures after the jump. Keep reading →

This is where I go to clean my clothing
What kind of laundry room looks like this? Oh. Right. I live in EC.
I had to take Tali down to show her.
