I absolutely cannot believe it, but I just completed my second week of my LAST SEMESTER at Whitman. So far classes are going great--I'm only taking 12 credits, so I can focus on writing my thesis, and completing our last semester bucket list! (We accomplished our first task by taking Marisa to the gym for the first time today.)
Meanwhile, we have been channeling our inner Asian by perfecting the art of their cuisines. Last week for Al's we made Chinese Zongzi and cucumber salad. Zongzi are a bit of a process, but pretty delicious. They are little bundles of rice and red bean paste wrapped up in bamboo leaves and boiled for several hours until the rice cooks and you end up with a wonderful little package.
And this week we made sushi, tempura, and mochi! For my first time making sushi I would say it went pretty well. It was much less difficult than I always imagined, and tasted perfect!
Other culinary projects in the past two weeks have included:
 |
| Mediterranean inspired stuffed bell peppers |
 |
| Vegetable pot pie |
 |
| Mmm-mmm! |
 |
| Don't burn your tongue! |
 |
| Leek potato soup with fresh bread |
 |
| A salad full of goodies and grilled cheese |
It has been fun being back! I missed Rachel and Marisa (and Zoe) and I really am excited about the semester ahead of us. Love from us all!
