Old Habits Die Hard

The last 2 and a half years I was at university (oh yeah! back in the good old days...) I lived in apartments and houses with friends. One year an apartment with one flatmate, one year a house with 4 housemates, and one semester a house with four total strangers. (But a block from where my sister was living, and the guys I lived with were a lot of fun.)

Back then, I used to cook to procrastinate. Paper due? Better think about something REALLY complicated to cook, or at least something that would take a good long time, to avoid writing the paper. So then I would be done with serving, eating, and cleaning up around 10 at night and I would have the night to write the 5 or 6 page paper for the next day. (We will not reflect on some of my grades during the first couple years of university, we will accept them as a learning experience. )

And I hadn't PLANNED on cooking this weekend. Rather more working because of our huge workshop next week. But I think I am still on schedule...hope so anyway.

Tonight's dinner was actually reasonably fast and refreshing after sitting in the office for 5 hours this afternoon. Andreas went to buy the tuna while I was at work, so shopping kept to a minimum. Seared tuna with rice noodle pillow, and grapefruit, cucumber, avocado salad with herb-passion fruit dressing. Have made this before, but not in a long time. Next time, would leave the tuna raw...Küchenschlacht material? No. But at least food for thought.
