Nonexistent Cooking Abilities.

Today I discovered that I am pretty good at organizing other people's items. This is surprising seeing as my own personal organizational skills seem to have disappeared these past couple of weeks. But fear not, I have begun packing! I have some shirts, dresses, skirts, jeans, and a million scarves laid out on a bed woot!!

Unrelated note: I just remembered (or perhaps conveniently forgot) that I will need to cook/ prepare all of my own meals. I do not cook. Well, unless you consider pasta, eggs, grilled cheese, oatmeal, and quesedillas cooking. Which I do not. On my to-do list this summer (which wasn't actually a list on paper, that's wayyy too organized for me) was to learn how to cook AKA learn to whip up some very simple but healthy meals a la Top Chef (but not Top Chef Masters, they are way out of my league!). This clearly did not get accomplished and now I am scrambling around the Internet attempting to find some super easy and super cheap vegetarian recipes. Here is what I have found so far, thanks to about.com, along with my very own comments as to why they will or will not work:

Simple Tofu Stir-Fry with Veggies and Ginger- wok required and buying a wok is not exactly in my budget as a broke international student...

Vegetarian Ramen with Peanut Sauce- YESSSSS an updated version of my old staple!!!! I will be al over that one, provided that Ramen is sold in England.

Vegetarian Ramen Noodle Tomato Soup with Tofu- See above comments

High-Protein Mac and Cheese AKA tofu and cheese- That may be too complicated for me but perhaps if I get really great at cooking I will attempt this one...

Bean and Cheese Burrito- Mmmm

I think you get the point. It will definitely be an adventure in the kitchen this fall and so I am desperately hoping at least one of my flatmates is a cook comparable to my friends on Top Chef. If happen to scamper up to England this fall, come over and I will practice my cooking on you!

Enjoy the meal.

Welcome

So here is the thing. I am going to England in a week. Except my room is a mess. I have not done laundry since forever. I am not packed. I am unclear as to the location of a few important items such as my glasses and iPod.

Here's the other thing. I am not too concerned or overly stressed. Why? Because I am going to England in a week. And in order to leave, I have to clean, do laundry, pack, and find those missing items. Things generally have a way of getting accomplished.

This adventure should probably be documented. Hence the blog. What will be documented? Random musings, observations, stories, and experiences. I am planning of focusing mainly on the music, art, fashion, and media of the England that I experience.

So open your windows and enjoy the trip.
