often times, ej and i are a bit more excited about our chatting, goofing, and munching than we are about our school work. (DISCLAIMER: this is not always the case.) however, the week before our finals (ah finals week, who can be bothered?) we decided that it was imperative to be well fed in order to study in top form. before long, ej's dark brown wooden table was topped with fresh sliced bread, creamy baba ganoush (a new fave!), red wine (of course!) and some delish quinoa salad à la ej. even though we did actually end up going to mclennan library, (mclennie/mclenz for you locals) this little situation is a perfect picture of ej and i: munch well, laugh well, work well!
in fact, my iphoto seems to contain all the incriminating evidence of our foodie exploits. most of the pictures are of us, our friends, or food! but living in montreal makes me feel less guilty about making meals a priority. i mean, when it's negative 42 degrees, you NEED to make yourself some, heart- and-body warming food to survive!
SO, i present a recipe to combat a winter afternoon in montreal:
1. invite amigas/amigos over to cope with you. but make them come to your house (mwuahaha).
2. Fashion a light but satisfying lunch that makes you smile instead of shiver. wear killer nail polish while doing this.
3. set the table with nice dishes and survey your luscious little meal
4. you MUSN'T forget dessert! (this doesn't seem to be a problem for ej and i). pictured: maxine's lovely and light chocolate crepes:
5. take secret pictures of your amigas ;)
6. and that, my friends, is how you survive a winter's day in montreal.
see you all later!
