"yummo"

I should be reading for a paper, but I've taken a break to heat up some lunch:



These are leftovers from last night. I had an ambercup squash and cooked it according to the suggestion that was on the little label, so cubed and steamed, and then fried in olive oil until it's nice and brown. I used a spice blend that I got at the grocery store, called Carribbean spice, on it. It's got a lot of things in it, lots of cumin and garlic and oregano and chiles. This tasted so, so good. The squash was awfully hard to cut up and I wondered if it would be worth it, and it definitely was. On the side is just a pile of spinach with some dressing on it. I was actually too lazy to make a real dressing, so I just drizzled some olive oil and rasberry red wine vinegar on it and cracked some pepper over top. The squash is especially nice when a little of the vinegar gets on it. And yes, I'm not going to lie, that is a pillsbury crescent roll on the side of the plate, and it tasted delicious.



Yesterday I made blueberry muffins. It's a basic recipe, with oats and buttermilk too.

I think I'd better go put on some tea, do up the dishes, then grab a muffin and get down to work!

My latest activities

I have been up to a lot of cooking lately. I finished work a week and a half ago and am just now getting into the swing of being off. Today I made these lemon scones, and earlier this week a plum cake:





This was my dinner last night, a pile of boiled potatoes topped with steamed spinach and a poached egg, topped with more Swiss cheese. Delicious! I got the idea from The New Laurel's Kitchen.



Speaking of which, I do miss the regular Laurel's Kitchen. It is in Montreal somewhere with my friend Lea. Rats!

And somewhere in there I finished those socks for my grandmother:



And tried them on, of course. I have also knitted a ways up the back of my stiped sweater, but have no pictures of it as yet.
