but life’s been too busy – I have weekly engagements everyday but two, monday and tuesday, so as a result, I feel like I have only two day weeks. That being said, I have also been doing lots of traveling, appreciating what living in Paris has to offer. I went to London the weekend before last and then this past one, was in Barcelona, which is still my favourite city in the world to visit. I got teary and it felt like my heartwas about to burst out of my chest while I was there. I love that city. My pictures are on my facebook album, so I won’t bother posting them here. Either way, I love it here.
Lots of life changes, and decision being made in the recent past – epiphanies up the wazoo. I know I hate my job and that it’s necessary for me to change, but as long as I’m working for someone else, I will never be satisfied; they’ll always be either too inefficient, stupid, wasteful, etc… I know I need to do something myself, something I can be proud of. I have a project in the works for a few years from now. I’m working on taking some cooking courses next semester, volunteering for some charity organizations, getting fundamentals down in order to be able to start up something on my own. I know I need to have utility to others, provide a service others aren’t, or that people need. I need to do that myself. I need to be creative and this is a greta way to do so. I shan’t go into detail until I have more sorted out, but this will be a big plan, and I need to get cracking.
So I made an awesome chili today. Here are the photos:
Some basic ingredients: chorizo optional for veggies. Well, everything optional for whomever I guess, but these guys give a lot of taste.
Never forget the onions – they go in with the oil first to get some smell in the air and some base.
The strangest looking kidney beans I have ever gotten, but they taste fine.
Poorly cut zucchini.
My garlic press goes with me everywhere I travel for longer than a few days. I have recently begun to place stickers on it.
This looks like nothing and guess what? Tastes like it too. Talk about a crappy soya burger. This was just for the texture that I threw it in. Mashed it up.
Obvious base, tomato paste.
Finished result. Chili powder, a bit of cumin, cayenne pepper, done. Let sit for a few days, it gets really really good when all of the flavours mix into one. Also wonderful on pizza crust with cheese melted on top (though not quite as healthy).
xoxoxo
PS: I know my kitchen is crummy as are my pictures. It’s the taste that matters.
