Crepes! Yay Crepes!

In the process of making dinner tonight, I burned my arm, set off the smoke detector in Apartment Roomie's bedroom, and set one of my pot holders on fire. Not my most elegant of moments. But oh wow, the ribs with black bean sauce and the garlic-braised baby bok choy was totally worth it. SO GOOD. I've been a bit hit or miss in the kitchen this week (we aren't talking about the honey-mustard chicken, okay?), and it was nice to have something turn out this good. I'm really glad I brought a bag of fermented black beans back from home with me, I'm already coming up with a whole list of recipes that I've been dying to make but couldn't because I didn't have them.

To Do List for this weekend:

• make crepes
• make sourdough bread
• read the next four letters out of Abelard and Heloise (oh my god, more Abelard The Unceasingly Arrogant, I love it)
• buy a ridiculously expensive course reader
• work on coming up with a syllabus for my Levinthal (btw, if anyone has any good recs for short story collections that are a) set in the American Southwest, especially NM and/or b) written by Latino or Chicano authors, I would love to know)
• clean my unbelievably disgusting kitchen
• dye my hair purple (the best thing about the purple, as opposed to the blue or red, is that it fades out really pretty and as natural looking as purple can be, but still, it's been months, wtf self)
• finish season two of Being Human in time for the new American series and the third BBC season, which is sad but actually unusually timely for me, Slowest Television Watcher In The Universe

I live the most exciting and dangerous college life ever, y/y?
