Back From Your Fortune Teller, She Read Your Cards Upside Down

After eight weeks in NOLA, my internship is finished and my summer is coming to a close. I'm sad to leave this city, but I'm also excited to escape the humidity and get back to pastoral Williamstown. I haven't written in a while, so here is a large smattering of photos and good songs I've been enjoying.

And a delicious song that I had forgotten about until I found an old CD in the car - so nineties you can't say no.

Oh, and one afternoon I was heading home and trying to beat the thunderstorm looming overhead. I drove by a cemetary, and made a quick stop to take a few photos. Luckily I finished snapping before the rain began.

Quick -- how much chicken are you going to eat this week? Not "some" or "for a few meals" - I mean the exact amount.

If you are like me and have no idea how to answer this question, then you probably have also had the pleasure of standing in the whole foods meat section, staring at the dozens of chicken breasts and feeling overwhelmed.

This type of question was not something I had considered until I became my own chef for most of my meals. I have cooked and baked a bunch in the past, but only when I really wanted to make a particular meal or felt inspired to cook. Cooking every meal about five days a week (even just for myself) is very different, as I soon found out when I moved down here for the summer.

I have a new respect for mothers who cook for their families - I can barely cook for myself!

It takes some time each week to find a couple of dinner recipes that are quick and delicious. I usually go with the basics for breakfast and lunch, but sometimes I try to mix those up as well.

Here is a large sampling of the food I've been enjoying the past few weeks. Also a song I have been enjoying - watch out, it's quite catchy.
