2008 May :: Une Vie Saine

A post with an exceptionally long title and single word (supercalifragilisticexpialidocious—it’s the biggest word you ever heard) useful for testing title line heights and potential overflow issues on posts with small title areas.

Accidentally Delicious

By Gabriela on September 23, 2011

Last night I organized my kitchen cabinets (procrastination on midterm studying, obviously), and found a ton of random stuff I hadn’t used in awhile or had forgotten about- ground flax, Vega smoothie packets, Amazing Grass, xanthan gum. I figured I’d use some of it up this morning, hoping it would taste okay but ready to [...]

Cream Soups

By Gabriela on September 22, 2011

When a day of classes that included cream soups got cancelled because of the hurricane a few weeks ago, our entire schedule was rearranged.

Instead of the usual “lecture” we have before a practicum, today’s chef had us jump right in. We were divided into groups to set up the mise-en-place for each [...]

Nine Things I’m Looking Forward to This Fall

By Gabriela on September 20, 2011

1. Going outside and not needing to take a shower within five minutes.
