These next few weeks are going to incredibly busy. If you are in the Saint Louis area you should stop by SLU Friday or Saturday night to watch the SLU Monologues! They are real stories from students, staff, alumni, and faculty of SLU performed by SLU students, staff, alumni, and faculty that tell stories about identity. Needless to say they will be awesome. I've been working on them with my fellow core team members and actors for some time now and we are really excited about this year's show. The flyer is attached in the post. Soon Vagina Monologues will be here as well. Next week my office is holding Celebrate Generosity week at SLU which will only make things more hectic. With everything going on I have near to no time to cook. But cook I must for sustenance! The other night I made a great roasted cauliflower dish with lots of caramelized onions (YUM!) and last night we whipped up potatoes and brats. Tonight I am roasting radishes so be on a lookout for recipes! Many people ask me how I find time to cook between 2 jobs, Una, school, studying, and the rest of life. Well it's like this:
1. I love cooking and I need it in my life not to kill people.
2. I take advantage of bulk grains and my rice cooker. We eat a lot of rice and quinoa.
3. Freezing veggies! (Blanching and shocking helps cook veggies faster!)
4. Some simple planning goes a long way. I make sure I know what I have on hand so that I can throw something together fast! Prepping things on the weekends also makes life a lot easier during the week. You can also avoid fast food this way. Plan on being stressed during the week and act accordingly (Even if the week isn't going to be... Just so their's no surprises.)
5. Shop and stock yourself so that the item is useful for multiple meals.
6. Wing it.
