pasta cacio e pepe

tonight i made cacio e pepe pasta. it was so delicious! the ingredients are cheese, olive oil, pasta water, and lot's of ground pepper. pecorino romano is the cheese normally used but i only had parmesan and asiago so i used that instead. i grilled some chicken from the coop on the side. it was pretty tasty if i say so myself.

weekend

Adam wanted to buy some snacks for his students tomorrow. I suggested Tim Horton's (a coffeshop known for their coffee and donuts)for some apple cider donuts. I've never heard of a Tim Horton's before moving here but they are a huge chain from Canada. In Canada, TH's surpasses McDonalds (from wikipedia).
We dropped into a Tim Horton's to test out the donut's. I wanted the crueller and the apple cider and sour cream donut (Adam wanted to try the pumpkin spice) so we went home with four donuts. I ate two whole donuts and I am regretting it now.. I feel so sick.
My workspace at home. I'm working on project #2 for graphic design. We are supposed to design a logo for a subway system using illustrator. I like illustrator but my logo's are pretty crappy....

i love jcrew

quiche

i made quiche for breakfast this morning. it turned out really well. not at all salty, cheesy or too eggy... adam wondered if my cooking chops are better than his now. :)i cheated a little with a pre-made pie crust. next time i will tackle a crust made from scratch.
