ohhhhh if cilantro only TASTED like soap, i would be able to choke it down with the rest of my burrito. instead, it tastes and smells like something so much more awful... i liken it to the smell of vomit. seriously. the other day we were at our winter farmer's market eating lunch at the long communal table and when i leaned down to take a bite of my sandwich i was instantly repulsed by the smell... i looked around and a woman sitting all the way at the other end of the table (5 or so people between us) had some cilantro on her pan-asian noodles. shudder.

i have always hated it. the first few times i tried it, i immediately gagged and had to spit it out. i've tried it in all different types of cuisines and dishes... no luck. i keep torturing myself occasionally by trying to eat it, but each time i gag at the smell. i guess the only thing that mei and i have in common is our pleasure in reading calvino!

I wish with all my heart that I could love these foods:

cottage cheese, asparagus, & raw tomatoes.

I've slowly started eating cherry tomatoes and I'm going to try to move up to the other varieties... it's hard, but making sure to start with fruit from my friend's garden is helping quite a bit.

I'll still eat asparagus (I've had it prepared every which way and it still tastes gross) but only because I force myself!

Cottage cheese is always a massive failure. Every few months, I'll try to eat it with some fresh fruit but it ends up going in the compost Every. Single. Time!

I'm SO going to make this over the weekend. More vegetarian recipes of comfort foods, please!!! :)

Well, I just moved into my new apartment exactly one month ago and 95% of my belongings are still in boxes. It's been so hard for me to sit down and try to unpack. I dread it so much!

However, I've come up with some solutions. Yesterday I bought a bookcase/shelving system and dresser drawers at IKEA. Part of my excuse at putting things off was that I didn't have anywhere to unpack things into. My boyfriend and I are going to attempt to put together the furniture and unpack the rest of my kitchen today.

Moving/Unpacking is such an ordeal. You're excited about getting to redesign a new space, but at the same time it seems like such a daunting task!

Yay! Going to IKEA today... definitely picking up these cookie cutters. Is that just a basic sugar cookie recipe you're using or something special? Is there one on the site? Hmmm I should start looking...

My mom always made me tuna sandwiches and gave me a bag of cheese doritos to eat with it when I was a kid. To this day, I crave doritos when I have a tuna sandwich and am not satisfied with a side of potato chips. Is this totally crazy? I feel like there must be other people out there who need a bag of doritos with their tuna sandwich!

I try to eat as much of the mistake that's edible, but then the rest goes in the garbage. My boyfriend is amazing and is happy to eat anything I make (mistake or not) so we think of ways that X could have been better as we're eating. I've never ordered takeout after a mistake; just dug through the cupboards and made some pasta to fill up.

Growing up I was used to cooking on an electric stove but since I moved out from home for college, I've been using gas and have fallen in LOVE. I just can't imagine boiling water on electric. I tried it once when I was home and almost died waiting.

That being said, I have to move again in a month when I graduate and I am definitely NOT turning down a nice, affordable apt just because of the stove.

Uh oh... this is so not good for me. Must... resist.... ((but I have all three ingredients right now!!! In my kitchen!!!))
