Unusual Saturday

It's a Saturday and I am not racing my bike or pseudo-racing in Tucson's own weekly championship event--The Shootout. I haven't successfully completed any schoolwork either; I do that much better under high stress. What have I been doing off the bike? My new hobby: trying to make food. Last Monday I swore not to eat campus food ever again. So I went to target and bought a kitchen, and then proceeded to Safeway where I bought food. Putting the two together has been a little challenging, me and kitchens and stoves don't mix very well. Especially a dorm-room kitchen that's smelly and 50 yards down the hallway. Inspired by my teammate, Katerina Nash, I first made some cous cous, steamed some vegetables, and put the two together. It was really good. Three weeks ago I didn't know what cous cous was and before three days ago I had never willingly cooked vegetables. I'm usually not a big fan of rabbit-food but something has changed--I've been in that kitchen three times in one week. Here's a sampling of what I've been eating. Nothing fancy, I'm taking baby steps here.


I'll have to work on presentation for the next round of photos. If you can't tell, the bottom left photo is oatmeal with apples and almonds--yum.
