Posted by Tracy in : books,consumerism,eating,geekery,random,reading,school , add a commentThis morning I got up and breakfasted on a toasted pumpernickel bagel (half with butter, the other with cream cheese) and a slice of the banana bread I made last night (slight recipe modification: ran out of walnuts mid-measure, tried to make up the difference with hazelnuts, ran out of those too, and finally made it all the way to 1/2 cup by adding almonds), with Irish Breakfast tea.
(Slight digression: Y’know what’s really fun to sing to the tune of “C is for Cookie”?
Tea is for Tracy, that’s good enough for me
Tea is for Tracy, that’s good enough for me
Tea is for Tracy, that’s good enough for me
Oh, Tracy, Tracy, Tracy starts with tea!
Okay, back to my geeky day.)
After browsing the day’s New York Times and making a pretty good stab at the crossword puzzle (grrr lower left corner o’ references to diamonds, ever so not this girl’s best friend), I kicked things up an intellectual notch by finishing Arjun Apparurai’s “How to Make a National Cuisine: Cookbooks In Contemporary India” (Comparative Studies in Society and Society, January 1988).
I told you today was geeky. (more…)
