This is kind of how things have been lately. Between grading papers and exams, writing papers and presenting, I haven’t felt like cooking much. But that’s all said and done. As of today it’s officially summer, and I celebrated last night by cooking some mushroom curry, and well… it sucked. 
Everything about it sucked. It sucked that it was super sweet yet oddly spicy and kind of smelled like vomit. It sucked that I had bought nearly 2 pounds of mushrooms, coconut, apples, spices, etc. to make it… and lastly, it sucked because after I spent an hour cooking it I looked in the pot and didn’t even want to eat it because it looked downright nasty. I waited until Ryan got home to try it and I ate two bites of it before resorting to a dinner of a nutella, peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Ryan ate more than I did, but in the end we ended up putting enough mushroom curry for an army down the garbage disposal. WHAT A WASTE!
But today is a new day of Moosewood and spinach and cheese calzones with vodka sauce are near on the horizon. Nearly 15 recipes down, it was due time for us to find something we didn’t like, so there it was. As for vegetarianism as a whole, it’s been going well if you don’t count those all you can eat seats at the Indians game the other day that had me hoarding hot dogs in my purse. I grabbed some tofurkey sausages and veggie burgers today just in case grilling happens this weekend, and I even got some boca crumbles for tacos. Yum. So no, not 24/7 Moosewood, but you just wait until we start picking up our Blue Pike CSA. Sometimes I need to have some produce forced upon me to get stuff done, like when you’re walking through the produce hut at the West Side Market. If you scream at me that I can get 3 bunches of bananas for $1, I’ll probably hand the money over. 
Hence why I walked out of there last week with a massive handful of kale and some rainbow chard and ate it on bread. So good…
