A Weekend In

This weekend my body decided to be sick again! I don't remember giving it permission to do so, but I guess I needed the rest, because I slept several hours Friday, Saturday and today during the day, as well as at least 9-10 hours every night. I feel a bit better tonight though, and do have some highlights from the weekend to share. Let's make them all about food, hmm?

1) Saturday for lunch one of my suite-mates made fried rice. She had never made it before, but certainly had eaten it a lot! She was so excited and nervous (that it wouldn't turn out). It was pretty cute to watch! Of course it was delicious, and we all devoured it up. Yum yum! Hopefully she'll whip out some other Korean dishes this semester.

2) One of my favorite and usual snacks has been apple sauce with cinnamon, raisins, and honey. (Honey is one of my favorite food groups! I try to include it in my meals everyday!!) The great thing about this snack is that it is perfect for any time of day, and healthy, right? The apple sauce here is also very cheap, about 70 cents for a jar (less than one American dollar) so I guess if I run out of money from buying pastries and exploring Eastern Europe, I'll always have my apple sauce. : )

3) Saving the best for last! This morning my usual yogurt breakfast didn't sound exciting enough, so I decided to make my favorite breakfast food: french toast. I cut thick slices of my bread from the Turkish bakery next door, and soaked the two pieces in two eggs and cinnamon. Thus, the french toast was very moist and egg-y (my favorite!!). I topped it with a thin layer of powdered sugar and finely diced fruit, then drizzled honey over the whole thing. And, because I don't think taunting you with the description of my breakfast was mean enough...I'll share this picture with you!
