A mysterious meal and the many reasons why I haven’t written
I’m trying to get back into the swing of writing. It’s one of many things I’m trying to do right now. I have a job, but I’m constantly searching for more work. I’m also eating more nutritional food and less fun food. (Anyone notice what I like to cook? It’s not very healthy. A blog about cake is probably not the best idea when attempting to get in shape.)
There is also a GRE to study for, Spanish to review (my job involves speaking Spanish on a regular basis and it gets embarrassing to mix up verb tenses all the time), Korean to try to learn and programs to look for so I can go teach English in Korea in a year. I also don’t have a ton of money for fancy ingredients. In fact, I’m most commonly seen eating cheese toast and celery with peanut butter. One of my favorite free pastimes is going to the store to look at expensive cheeses.
So while I readjust and try to photograph and write about more of the food I’ve made we’re going to play a game! It’s called “Name This Meal!” Look at the out-of-focus photo of a meal that was served to me in Spain at a not-very-pleasant lunch with my study abroad group. Then guess!
It contains jamón, white asparagus, egg, peas and other mysterious food items. I think maybe I’d enjoy it if someone served it to me now, but I found the egg repellent once upon a time. Anyone know what it is?


fabada asturiana? I give up.
