so i just went grocery shopping yest and am feeling very complete. after eating at the MICA dining hall twice I am very happy that I don't have a meal plan there. I find that I feel compelled to make my 8$ meal (!) worth it so I eat all I can and feel not good afterwards.

So I have been cooking at home and here are some samples.



This is dal and tomatoes in my new pressure cooker. I didn't put enough water (I'm learning)


So the dal turned out really brown after setting the smoke alarm off. In all this commotion my toast got a little crunchier than normal. In order to salvage my meal I quickly made a big bowl of (very yummy) tomato raita.



call me captain cook. here's my wonderfullest creation of the season. Its lightly toasted bread with avacado on top. sprinkle some mustard seeds for that interesting texture in the mouth, a dash of butter and oven it for a bit. et voila. its delicious btw.
