Mar. 19 – Chef Amy!

I think that somewhere hidden inside of me is a good cook. Well, I've never cooked before, except on rare occasions (less than once a year). But, I've been forced to here and it's not so bad. So far, I’ve made:
1) spaghetti with olive oil, asparagus, walnuts and freshly grated parmesan
2) tuna fish melts: tuna, red onion, parsley, celery, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, & garlic on St. Gallen dark bread (really good!), topped with tomato and freshly grated Emmanteller cheese, pop in 200 degree oven for 3-4 min.
3) vegetable stoup: lentils, parsley, onion, celery, potato, carrot, zucchini, Chinese cabbage, broccoli, corn, & fusilli pasta...served with St. Galler Dunkelbrot (dark bread) with evoo (extra virgin olive oil) & balsamic vinegar to dip. I had strawberries from the farmer’s market and chocolate sauce for dessert! Mmmm. And I have enough leftovers to last a few more meals haha.

Tomorrow, I’m going to Konstanz, Germany. In less than the time that it would take me to drive to Pacific Mall in rush hour, I can go to Germany! It’s only an hour away on the train. There’s a Zara and an H&M next to each other in the big mall there! There’s also going to be some kind of celebration at the harbour because the ships are doing their first sailing of the season.
