In the Midst of Dining Bliss... And Mid-Terms

Oh, goodness.

Excuse the two month-long absence. Spring semester finals caught me, then I moved into my first apartment. Out of the dorms, into an apartment, you know exactly what that means: a kitchen! The summer has been spent relishing in the possibilities a personal kitchen has to offer, and lavishing that dear friend of mine, my stomach, with the most delicious foods I can procure.

All right. Admittedly, the "most delicious foods I could procure" weren't exactly always products of my kitchen. But, hey, I've been trying. Unfortunately, instead of sating my appetite and relieving the agony of being forced to eat at the university dining centers during the spring semester, having my own kitchen has only put me into more distress as the end of summer looms, bringing me closer to my forced return to the dorms.

Then it will be back to my thieving ways. Ah...

Aside from eating to my heart's/stomach's delight, though, I have been busy with summer school. When I am not experimenting in the kitchen, I am either in class or drowning in the stacks of books I have to read. And during the rare and brief moments in time when my stomach is not demanding more food and I don't have anything to study for, I am gallivanting about downtown, exploring bakeries, shops, and restaurants.

Err... When I started that last sentence, I had meant to say something about barely keeping up a social life. But I guess there is no denying that my life revolves around food.

Anyway, my stomach is happy, and now I am eager to share with you my adventures from the past two months... along with catching up on all of your foodie adventures as well!

Ooooh, it's great to be back. :)
