Reheat, Eat

Cooking

Hello, hello.

Here is evidence that I’ve been in the kitchen:

That would be Caitlin’s Santa Fe Casserole. It’s been on my list to make for a while and, since Matt has finals this week, I’d thought I’d make something that he could re-heat during his library breaks. I actually made this yesterday and was thrilled to come from work and dig into it this evening.

Loved the texture and it was great with salsa!

I made the switch from spinach to arugula this week. I’m weird about eating salads at home and pretty much only do it when I have above average toppings. But I do like arugula every once and a while because it actually has a flavor of its own.

I’m watching that TLC show about winning the lottery and now it’s got me thinking about what I might do with the money. I’d definitely take my family on a vacation, decrease my hours and volunteer in an organization that helps kids, and open a funky restaurant with craft brews, all local foods, cake, and a rooftop bar.

I’m going to get in bed early and try to finish my book. I want to start Jane Eyre next because the movie looks awesome!

What would you do if you won the lottery?

    If I won the lottery…I would make sure our parents were ready to go for retirement, donate to charity, volunteer and buy one of those lovely quilted Chanel purses.

    That looks INSANELY delicious. I am jealous. And I would go to your cafe if that’s the kind of thing you’d be serving in it.

    If I won the lottery I would travel to New Zealand once a month just to see my dog. And I would go bananas at Tiffanys. Then I’d pay off friends’ student loans and buy my sister a house, then go do the masters degree I’ve been eyeing up for a couple of years.

    I am reading Jane Eyre at the moment! I can totally see why it’s a classic – it’s so well written. I hope you enjoy it 🙂 If you like books which make you think a little more, you should try The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde – one of my favourite books of all time by far!

        Errr… sort of. Any more than that and I’d ruin the book!

    Oh man that casserole looks so good! If I won the lottery I’d quit my job so that I could dedicate all my effort into finding a job that I enjoy. I’d also finish my MBA and then go back to school to study nutrition, not sure if I’d go the full RD route but I just want to learn more!
