live for yourself and yourself alone *a little overwhelmingly radical header*

not too long ago, i thought soups could only be made with store-bought chicken/veg broth. and pancakes could only be made perfect if i used betty crocker's pancake mix. i've been living in such a holed up life where food brands dominated in every aspect, it's good to take a step back and ask yourself "hey wait a minute how did people in the olden days get by without these convenience foods?"

today i tried out a soup broth with some multi-seeds (barley, lentils, blackbeans, chickpeas) i got from the food co-op, a carrot, half an onion, half a head of broccoli and dash (or ten) of paprika which coloured my soup red as a result. 20 mins flat and i got a happy warm meal to fight the chilly winter blues. it was faster than i'd expected!!!!! plus i got to save half a pot for dinner afterwards. and speed is key rn since finals are coming :-) made risotto yesterday and it took twenty-five minutes-ish so maybe i'll keep it for future meals. it was good though and typing about it now makes me want to have more and more an d moooo re.

thank heavens for tofutti in the house which i kennut get enough of. all the instas/blogs rave about this so i'm ecstatic to get a taste of it for myself.

tastes like the ice-cream you've always loved as a child

thank heavens for the housemates and the warm chats in the common area and most importantly for being cool of my ~paleo/veganism~ lifestyle and for being receptive of all the lovely foods this brings along
btw, goat's yogurt??? aWeS0m3z. peiying videoed bethea's and zhiying's reaction to it yesterday hehehehehe

waoaaw @ pre-exam period life woaaow at feeling like i can be immersed in my notes without being victim to other distractions like in As (i think it's the weather)
