So it's Wednesday. I have class Tuesday-Thursday. I usually at this point have given up on reading for classes. Class assignments are far too long and far too boring. Plus, I know I can get by without reading. And by get by, I mean pass. But I'm reading for this summer school class. Why you ask? 1) Cold calling - this is when a professor uses his/her handy dandy seating chart with our pictures on it to call on people. Most professors don't do this. Some do. This one does. 2) This class is taught socratic method - so imagine being surprised called on and then continuously being asked why and led in circles. (You can tell how much I like the socratic method.)
So I was supposed to be doing this (sideways, but I'm too lazy to flip the picture):
Instead, I decided that it was high time I would poach an egg since I've never done it before, but honestly, it's easy, I knew I could do it... sort of.
All you need is an egg, a bowl, a pot of boiling water with a few tablespoons of vinegar, and something to stir the pot with.
Why do you need a bowl? Well, you could crack the egg straight into the water, but you need to insure that you don't break the yolk and that you don't get any shell in it. So you could omit the bowl if you want, but I decided to just use it.
Anyway, once the water boils, take a spoon or something to stir the water, drop the egg in, stop stirring, and leave it for 2-3 minutes.
Here is the finished product. I did two, but only ate one because one turned out to be not fully cooked on one side, and cooked on the other side. Yes, it was a weird egg...
So you can eat that with just a piece of toast or something, but I decided to make a mock eggs benedict. I toasted a piece of wheat bread, put some turkey slices (I don't like ham or Canadian Bacon), and then put the egg on top.
Because I was lazy and don't have a proper blender to make a hollandaise sauce (plus I didn't have any butter on hand, I decided to forego that step and just went for simple salt and pepper:
In case you were wondering, I buy this turkey when I go to the regular grocery stores. I like it because it's perfectly portion controlled and only 90 cals, it says so on the pack!:
This concludes my post on how I wasted an hour today that I could have spent studying.
The End.
A few things to note about this particular shoe. I didn't go with the regular converse all-stars even though the back of the shoe looks better. As you see in the picture, the top shoe lace holes are red. This is the special red edition of Chuck Taylors, which a portion will be donated to feed people in Africa. Because of the cause, I went this this pair rather than the original black ones.
In case you can't see it, the screen says 49 updates.
As you can see, we have a lot of condiments. I like having a variety of things.
So on the top shelf there is Smart balance butter, half a container of frosting left over from the now famous cookie monster cupcakes, red grapes, chocolate pudding cups, jack cheese, and a giant brioche that's over a week old from 85 Degrees in Irvine.
Spinach, a jug of maple syrup that is not mine, Celery in the tupperware container, cream cheese that is not mine under that, a salad pack that is probably expired, a bag of lettuce, a 1/6 of a cabbage, potato bread (i know i should eat weat, but i got tired of wheat) and 13 eggs.
Cheese in the cheese drawer, the thing on the left is the terrible peach strawberry pie i attempted = fail, brita water filter, and a bag of lemon's from my parent's house. Btw, if anyone wants lemons, I seriously don't want them...
Julian is an apple growing town. So of course they would be known for their apple pie! This is probably the most well know Pie place in Julian. Julian has several pie places... at least 4. Maybe 5. That doesn't sound like a lot, but considering Julian is literally one intersection, then that would be like 10% of the shops there.
Let me tell you... I totally.... regretted not getting apple pie.
I think this one is apple-peach pie with vanilla ice cream. They also have cinnamon ice cream, dutch apple pie, and the "natural" apple pie which has no sugar added.
Here's the batter... you can buy it in a Japanese Market and then add fresh chopped cabbage and green onions.
This is the batter in case you've never seen it before. Excuse the lack of rotation.
Then you cook the meat. This is pork. Sorry it's sideways, I'm too lazy to try to rotate this and then upload it, so just turn your head sideways.
Shrimp also goes into the okonomiyaki.
Assembly step 1# Thin layer of batter with the cabbage already mixed in, then meat.
Assembly step #2: Add another thin later of battered cabbage on top.
Here is the final product, decorated with okonomiyaki sauce, kewpie mayo, bento flakes, and seaweed flakes.
So this is pretty much the view you get walking through the front door. The door on the right is my room door, the room in the top left corner is my roommate's room, and in the center is the living room. We are in a dual master room apartment.
I was trying to get a wider shot so you can see the layout. Kitchen next to bedroom #1, then living room, bedroom #2, bathroom #2, and laundry room.
Kitchen. Lots going on there.
Living room. We're not trying to be contemporary, minimal, we're just too lazy to buy furniture. Also, if we're going to move out in a year, it's pretty pointless to get lots of furniture. (Note the bookshelf is not ours, it's just crashing at our apartment. That's why there is nothing on it.)
The door to my room. We'll continue the tour of my room, bathroom, and the laundry room another time...
