nearly a month since my last post! it's less than a month until graduation, really unbelievable. a few updates:

did relay for life at the end of march~the luminaria ceremony was beautiful, the weather held up & lots of good friends were around :)
i've been running a lot lately too, longer runs about 4-6 miles each time! forest park is beautiful these days - trees budding, flowers coming up - green, and birds and just lovely. my new running path goes through some more woodsy areas, so it's really peaceful & perfect. h. & j.r. & i are hoping to do a 5k next weekend ~

baking less this semester, but still doing a bit ~ this was from a few weeks ago, lemon bars. more gooey than i'm used to, but good:
korean-inspired veggie pancakes - carrots, scallions, shrimp, onions in a simple batter of eggs, flour & water:
simple but satisfying: sliced, peppered avocado and colby on toast
stir-fried soba w/chicken, carrots, spinach, scallions & soy ~ surprised it actually tasted decent
fried rice ~ failure. tasted like nothing & grainy/chewy from ground turkey.
eggs scrambled w/avocado ~ creamy wonderful
reunited w/london flatmates @ t.'s birthday dinner :)
fluffy omelet filled w/sliced avocado + sauteed potatoes (still a bit raw unfortunately)
"fried" tomatoes, a recipe i learned from h. slowly cook up some garlic & tomatoes until soft & saucy, season w/salt & pepper. so good & simple. ate it with tortillas dipped in ...
tortillas left over from this delicious mexican "carnitas dinner" leftover from the night before. amazing pork... potato salad! impressed myself w/how good it was (despite the unappetizing photo). red-skinned potatoes, asparagus, egg, tuna, red onion, scallions, lemon zest + juice, capers, mayo & mustard.
tilapia on a bed of soba, shredded veggies (carrots, asparagus, mushrooms), turkey sausage - topped with a few slivers of gently fried scallions. really quite good, mmm...
back to the udon! hadn't had this in a while. shrimp, turkey sausage & about-to-rot mixed salad greens. good as i remember ^_^
k, good night : )
