this recipe is so simple that i feel silly posting it. but i’ve been eating the leftovers for the past three days, and i’m still loving it. so i figured that i had to share it with you!
one of my close friends gifted me the smitten kitchen cookbook (thanks, lis!) waaay back in november, and i’ve been trying to decide which recipe i should begin with ever since then. does this happen to any of you, dear readers? when gifted with an amazing cookbook, i often suffer temporary paralysis, wherein i can’t decide which recipe to make first because they all look so delicious. so the cookbook just sits, often open, on my nightstand until i finally pick the first recipe (this happened with both of the cookbooks from 101 cookbooks, plus the moosewood cookbook). or maybe it’s just me?
i’ve been fighting a cold this weekend. unfortunately, this isn’t a new occurrence – since i started working in a medical clinic, i feel like i’ve been fighting off colds every other week.
there are three things I’d like to share with you today, dear readers. the first is, and you may have noticed this, I haven’t been writing about anything personal for a long time. probably since graduating in june. that’s because I spent four long months searching for a job, and the whole process sucked. and I didn’t want to bore you with all of the details, because it would have sounded like this: “well, I applied for three jobs this week, went on two informational interviews, revised my résumé five times, went to job club (thank goodness for job club!), and am still waiting for an interview.” boring, right? but I was lucky to have amazing family and friends supporting me along the way, and I was also lucky enough to get offered several jobs. I accepted a job at a great nonprofit that offers high-quality medical services to people who might not otherwise have access to primary care physicians. I’ve been working since november, but have been hesitant to write anything about my job, because it was so new and such a great fit for me (i wrote SO many policy analysis papers on access to affordable health care!) that I didn’t want to jinx anything.
