Mmm...rice

It's always nice to get back to an empty apartment and have the ability to lounge around and get re-acquainted with life before post-spring break realizations hit (The plus, though? Only 5 more weeks of class!!!!).

After a slightly hectic day of traveling through airports (think being the last person to board the plane and windy skies...), I was definitely not in the mood to make a complicated dinner and I was definitely not in the mood to walk anywhere to buy a complicated dinner. So I did what a lazy & returning vacationer does: a microwave meal.
I started out with some "key lime pie" yogurt - I try not to eat this type of yogurt on a regular basis but there was an extra in the refrigerator and I just could not help myself. And honestly, for what it is, the yogurt is actually pretty delicious. But maybe that's just my still-stuffy taste buds speaking.

Then, with my rumbling stomach subdued enough to "cook", I moved onto my meal. I'd like to think that my microwave meal was fairly nutritious and it was completely low-maintenance: microwave steamed broccoli and Uncle Ben's long & wild grain 90 second rice. Mixed together + pepper, the two are actually quite delicious.

Excuse our nasty microwave...



And, the finished product:


I finished off my meal with a few pieces of dried ginger. I've never had dried ginger before a whew! what a taste bud surprise! Definitely delicious, but I'll never throw more than one of those babies in my mouth at a time again!

I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be able to run tomorrow since it's supposed to be beautiful. Hope for me!
