food diary #4

baked chicken with lemon juice, olive oil, and rosemary. with brown rice (cooked in chicken broth... ten times better than plain water) and steamed green beans. i got a huge sack of green beans, for like $5 from the farmer's market... so simple and so good! in retrospect though i would have liked to bake the chicken slightly more... i was worried that i would overcook the meat, but it would have looked a lot nicer if it was more brown. hm next time...

second attempt at quiche, except this time i went for a normal, fatty recipe. spinach, mushrooms, and onions with feta and cheddar cheese. pretty fucking heavenly, if i do say so myself.

yellow thai curry! who knew this was so easy to make? it's basically just coconut milk, vegetable broth, curry powder, and turmeric with your choice of veggies. now if only i could master pad thai as well! side note: please excuse the filthiness of our stove... my apartment is occupied by four college students hahah.

unfortunately my stay in this apartment ends this saturday, which ultimately means no more cooking for at least a little while. after these six weeks i can safely say that i now fully appreciate the act of cooking... food truly tastes better when you make it yourself. :)

Or you could stick it in the broiler to get the skin nice and crispy!
