Food and Random Ramblings

Hello World,

I've had a much more relaxed day than yesterday. I went to Lo Prado this morning where I teach English to low-income children. It's fun but totally exhausting. It's like my high school if everyone was actually 9 (instead of just acting like they're 9). My day was pretty boring... lots of cleaning, organizing, and errands. Boring. I did, however, take some kind of random snaps on my various outings so I thought I'd slap this post together (I hope it doesn't seem hasty!).

I took this pic on my walk home form the metro. I got off a few stops early to enjoy the WARM (read 85F) weather. It was a really smoggy day, but I managed to take a picture that looked somewhat clear.

I spent the majority of my walk behind this annoyingly slow couple. It was agonizing. I decided that because they were walking slowly I could take a picture of them... I was also curious/excited/amused/interested in the extreme height difference. It seemed very applicable to my life here where I tower over everyone. Also fun fact: the restaurant on the side is called "Dalai Lomo" (lomo is pork sandwich meat).

Later I decided to make stir fry. I made a similar version a few weeks ago but I decided to actually take pictures this time. It's pretty simple... Bell peppers, zucchini, garlic, rice, chicken, egg, and my secret sauce (sunflower seed oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and honey). *Poor picture quality thanks to horrific florescent lighting in my kitchen... when I have my own place there will be absolutely NO florescent lighting.*

My cooking process... Clearly I'm a neat chef (as evidenced by the scene on the right).

My finished product. 

Vanity shot of the fried rice... it's a glamorous beast of a meal.

So that was my day in a nutshell. Nothing wild, but super productive. And hopefully my food has at least been yummy to look at ;)

In other news...
-I recently read (OK I listened to the audio version) of Miranda Hart's autobiography (I guess it's more of a memoir). If you're a Miranda fan I recommend it. Such fun.
-I bought a new dress which I hope to break out this weekend... maybe I'll do an outfit post?
-I've become obsessed with candles. I get them at this awesome store.
-I'm thinking about making this recipe soon. I have a lot of bananas that are brown and ready.
-Planning a trip to Mendoza, Argentina soon... keep an eye out for that :)

OK I'll stop babbling now. Hope everyone out there is cyberspace is well. Just remember it's Wednesday night... the work week is halfway through!
