First, I want to mention that this week is my "no carbs challenge!" week. I am abstaining from bread, baked goods, pasta, etc. Any kind of simple carb you can think of (even beer! D:). I started yesterday and will go all the way until Sunday when I will finally break my sad fast at my friend's Octoberfest party. Woohoo, beer and bratwurst on buns!!
Also, like Martin, I am a throw things in the pan kinda person. Therefore, tonight's dinner:

This blog details our efforts as we learn how to cook from the contrasting environments of Kyushu and Hokkaido, Japan and graduate housing on an American college campus.

Salad-y Malady
Once in a while I get a horrid wake up call to the disastrous realities that stem from preparing food for myself. Last night was one of these instances.
Who would think that hotdog, spinach, macaroni salad, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and onion would be an odd combination?
What I got from it was a nauseous feeling.
BUT, I'm not totally convinced yet that it was the combination of foods that made me feel a little sick. While preparing the food, I had to keep sticking my head in the fridge to take out some of the ingredients. Right now, our communal dorm fridge smells rank.
One of my housemates put strongly smelling food in there and it made everything else (even the freezer) smell like her food. Which is not pleasant. Then, my food began to soak up the not-so-savory smell.
SO, it could be the smell and not the food combo giving me this weird feeling. Thoughts? Does this salad sound na$ty?

Update (7/22) - The next day I went and ate the leftovers. I ended up taking the hotdog out. Nauseous feeling avoided!

Avocado-y Breakfast
This weekend, I learned several things including #1) My mom pictures me someday married to a man at least ten years older than myself. I'm currently 21, and find that creepy.
#2) My mom had a variety of over ripe fruits and vegetables that she expected me to bring back to college and eat "within a day."
This is what it became:
For breakfast yesterday I ate: an over ripe, browning avocado, over ripe cherries, dough-y soft mango, and overly ripe smelling milk from my dorm's communal fridge.
Rating: 8.5/10
Prep time: 5 minutes
Difficulty: 2/10
I'm rating this meal so high because it contains so many of my favorite foods and tasted pretty good despite the dorm fridge-flavored milk (which I ended up throwing out after choking down half).
