It's been a little while since I've posted, mostly because nothing very exciting has happened, but I thought I'd give a little update of the goings-on in my life.

I'm making Channa Masala tonight. The chickpeas are currently soaking. I am excited, even if the chickpeas aren't.

This is really only of interest to aiki-junkies, but thanks to some inspiration by the Kobukan, we're setting out to do 1000 extra-curricular back breakfalls in the next month (basically, before I leave Northfield). I hit #200 yesterday. That was 200 in 3 days. But I don't know if I can keep that up.

Yesterday's lesson: don't go to Cub Foods when you're hungry.
Yesterday's deal: 87-cent cans of coconut milk.
Yesterday's question of the day: What is ghee, and how do you cook with it? Is it a good adventure, or a bad adventure?

This Taoism book is honestly just getting boring. Maybe the book isn't boring, but the work is boring. This is because I am now working on version #6, and Professor Zhao hasn't read or commented any of the versions I've sent him. I have told him things I need (for example, citations of the books he quotes from, or more writing on a particular concept) but I have not gotten any feedback on a month's worth of work. The potential fun in getting paid to spin your wheels definitely has an expiration date.

Like it or not, you can apply "Sex and the City" to real life.
Especially if you've been drinking a potent combination of coconut rum, melon liquor, pinapple juice, and Sprite for the past hour and a half.

Oh, and here's a short little PSA: The girl who was going to live in the third bedroom of my house all year next year is now not living there any more. So the house now has a totally empty bedroom, and my landlord has been so aggravated about this that she said she'd give priority to someone I knew, even if they were abroad in the fall. So if you, or anyone you know, needs housing after they get back, drop me an email! It'll be a party.

Ghee is butter that has been cooked on low heat until it separates and browns, I think. I've never made it or cooked with it.
You can always just use butter or oil instead if you don't want to bother, although it does have a different flavor than either of those.
That drink sounds g.r.o.s.s.

drink was totally not gross! was supertasty, like tropical beverage. Remember college, when all drinks are strange concoctions of whatever you've got? this was like that. well, this was exactly that. only better.

ghee was more a hypothetical question. but maybe not an adventure I will be embarking upon this summer.

no broken back. but see today's post.

and update on the channa masala: VERY good. I think the chickpeas refused to cook themselves (were they supposed to get mushy? cause they were soft on the inside, but a little hard on the outside) but incredibly scrumptious nonetheless.
