leek risotto with sun-dried tomatoes & summer
If I’m being honest, I wrote this post and it’s been collecting dust in my drafts. In case you didn’t notice yet, I’m not the best at posting things on time.
Old habits die hard.
In other news, my birthday passed! 😉
—
It’s hot.
It’s humid.
It’s sticky.
It’s still summer.
Not that, you know, I’m complaining or anything. But come on!! The weather is pretty ridiculous. Thank goodness for rain, though — after raining for a day, the temperature dropped by fourteen degrees. You cannot look me in the eyes and say that isn’t ridiculous.
In other news, the research at the lab and the internship at the bakery are both coming along swimmingly! I’m definitely learning a lot from the internship, and the research is just interesting.
Besides that, nothing very exciting has been going on in my life (welcome to summer). I can’t, though, believe that July is almost over. Oh my god! School is going to be here with it’s competitions and college applications and tests and stress and senioritis. I’m under prepared for that, definitely. And my birthday is in six days! I’ll be turning seventeen! Oh, how time flies.
I was hit with a sudden craving for risotto the other day as I was curled up on my couch in the cool, AC-ified room while watching Law and Order: SVU (which I finished by the way, all fourteen seasons). How random is that? You’re watching detectives solve rapes and murder and you’re just pulled under by the most out of the blue, drool-worthy craving for some creamy, hot risotto in the middle of the summer.
Well, then again. I never did say I was normal.
