It’s hard to tell from this picture, but it is the prettiest purple color. And it’s pretty tasty too!

Can’t wait to try more (well at least as much as my dairy limited tummy can handle!)

Hmm maybe I should start wedding dieting soon…

Whit and Mikey gave me a great cookbook for Christmas. It’s from a British “healthy” fast food restaurant, Leon. (I think “fast food” is used more in the Pret a Manger version of the phrase, than the Macdonalds sense.)

The Leon cookbook has awesome recipes, which are an expanded version of what they sell in their stores (it also came with stickers!) I tried out my first Leon recipe tonight: harira. Evidently this is a Moroccan soup often used to break a Ramadan fast. Unfortunately I was missing a couple key ingredients, but I did a little improvising and I think it turned out pretty well. I have gotten into the habit of making a big soup on Sunday nights, and then eating it all week for lunch. I think it’s healthier and definitely cheaper than $8 soup from Hale and Hearty (although maybe not as tasty as Crisp falafel…)

Happy about the $3.50 Yuenglings, but admittedly disappointed about the lack of promised $1 tacos.

Although it’s not causing as much chaos as in London, the snow did cause my class tonight to be cancelled because my professor is snowed-in upstate.  Good times…and pretty too.

We went to Sri Ganesh Dosa House in Journal Square for dosa brunch yesterday morning. It was very tasty, although it left me a little too full for my second eating adventure of the day: unlimited sangria Sunday at Calle Ocho. Luckily, the sangria part was easy…because sangria is like Jell-O (there’s always room). Although I feel like I may never need to eat again, I am heading to Sukhadia’s for lunch today. I may try to rock some chaat because I am full just thinking about the buffet option.

And then it’s back to the wedding diet…
