hey, we're okay. probably.

tonight when i was walking home, even though it was cold and kind of rainy, it really felt like spring for some reason. it was a nice feeling after the horrendous week i've just had. i'll skip all the tear-drenched details. sometimes anxiety and depression over graduating from college can really get you down. weird.

i decided to kind of take the night off from school work since i've been going so out of my mind. i bought a bottle of wine and some gingery thai noodles on the way home, even though i'm kind of broke these days. whenever i cook with ginger, i never get the desired effect... the spiciness either cooks out entirely or is way too overpowering. a difficult balance to strive for.

i've actually been pretty absent from the kitchen (and the internet) as a result of all this school stress. the (sort of) good news is that my food project is finally, actually, on its way to being something, with 2 weeks left in the semester. i did want to mention, since i told him i would, and i don't think he will, tyler's breakfast experiment from sunday. it wasn't the most exciting thing, but it was really a nice little moment in the middle of my ridiculous week. we were out of milk and it was totally pouring (this was in the midst of the dreaded nor'easter) but i did have some buttermilk from when i tried to make biscuits. luckily it keeps for a long time. we thought buttermilk pancakes would be a good start to a dreary day, and tyler embellished them with oats and pumpkin. we don't have any pictures, but they tasted pretty delicious.

that's pretty much it, i'm going to go back to listening to the rushmore soundtrack and eating ginger.
