You can see why I thought it necessary to change my blog title.
Oh, come on now, I'm not that superficial. I had been feeling for a while that "Bitch'n Kitchen" wasn't really reflective of my style of cooking. I certainly don't expect the boys to clean up after me, although I wouldn't ever say no. I also don't like how...hmm. What's the word. Brash I think. Yes, I come off as quite BRASH from the start, and I am brash, don't get me wrong, but not until you really get to know me do I start with the offensive jokes and scary pulled faces.
Scrounge is going to be a blog about surviving well. I am a student, and not a student of a lucrative business like MATH or ETHNO ECOLOGY or, I don't know, BRAIN SCIENCE. I'm a creative writing major with an interest in almost everything else. So this blog is my promise to myself that I will live well on no money for presumably at least the next ten years of my life, and probably beyond (although, Bon Appetit, if you are reading this, hello! I am very professional and efficient, and more importantly lots of fun).
We'll start tonight. I've mostly finished unpacking my things. Yesterday was a flurry of moving starting at 4:30AM and carrying on such activities as unpacking, arranging, fretting, and choosing until close to midnight. I'd eaten 14 cookies over the course of the day, and a nice bowl of french lentil soup (thanks Dad!), but that was about it. Until Tsuki and her nourishing lovely parents showed up and offered me some greek salad, made almost entirely with ingredients straight from their garden! Plus the creamiest, most luscious hummus on this earth. Tsuk is very earthy and minerally, and eating her beautiful food was like a combination energy cocktail and tonic. It's lovely how fresh vegetables taste after a few days without eating one. Anyways, the ramble of this is that last night we ate from tupperware and at 9pm, and then we ate chips and hummus on each pass through the kitchen. Tonight we hvae a proper, cooked meal, and I know just what to make. Green beans were on sale at Fairway the other day, and considering i don't like green beans, I thought this would be a wonderful opportunity to give them a make over and make them yum yums.
