No Fuss Microwave Pasta:

Recipe adapted from here

Serves: 1, Prep time: > 2 minutes (min), Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

Single serving of pasta (~75g)

2-3 tbsp tomato puree

Seasonings of choice (e.g basil, oregano, garlic, chilli flakes etc.)

Cheese (optional)

Method:

In a microwavable bowl put your pasta with salt then cover with boiling water. Pouring a cm or two is above the pasta.

Place in microwave cooking as long as directed by package instructions baring in mind to stir every 2-3 minutes to prevent sticking.

Once pasta is cooked you should have enough water to cover the bottom of the bowl add the tomato puree to this, allowing the water to thin the puree.

You can now add any seasonings you desire. I used about 1/2 tsp of basil and oregano with a tsp of garlic granules.

Mix then at this point you can cover the top with cheese then place back in the microwave for 2-3 minutes stirring occasionally to prevent the sauce from burning.

Once done check the seasoning then enjoy.

This is a nice cheap, lazy dish for days when you're not up to cooking. The recipe is fairly simple so can easily be adapted I added spinach for some vegetable during the fourth step as well as a tbsp of butter to add some creaminess and combat any acidity in the tomato. It is also at this stage you could add any precooked protein. This is intended as a no prep sort of dish but obviously you could use fresh garlic, vegetables and also cook some protein to go along with it but it works well on its own.

Not to sound like a tradwife or anything but I genuinely believe that everyone should learn how to make bone broth (or, as I affectionatly call it, scrap stew). I'm not gonna call it an easy or simple recipe because you do have to let it simmer for 11 hours and strain it, but if you have a day off to make it its relatively low-effort and cost-efficient and also is a great base for upping the nutritional value of simple foods like cup ramen or plain rice when you're in a pinch for time, as well as cutting down on veggie waste (anything starting to wilt or scraps like carrot peelings can be tossed in there and still make a good broth)

Super random but I tried a new drink today! I made my own version of the iced London Fog. I love having a nice drink to have for studying and today this was definitely it!

I didn’t make the cold foam in the original recipe, but I did have a salted caramel cold foam so I used that. It was definitely still suuuuper good. It was definitely a nice new study drink for this evening.

I was still pretty productive today as well!

I had a tutoring session today that went very well

Went to the grocery store and found a sale on Pringles (chips are one of my favorite study snacks)

Got a pitcher for my iced coffee (I like to make the night before it so it’s easier in the morning)

Did all my English homework (including getting through like 6 chapters of Dracula and if you know anything about that book…whew)

Got through my French homework and Honors homework in about an hour

Had time to do a full shower with shaving and hair washing + did a face mask and properly moisturized

Listening to the audiobooks of textbooks I struggle to get through has definitely been a help to me this week. 10/10 recommend. I do it when I need to do other things like chores, other written homework, but also need to read for a couple hours.

His own breath ragged, Ambrosius leaned in again, just close enough for his lips to graze against Ballister's.

“Let me take care of you.”

Ballister loses track of the time and gets caught in the rain. Ambrosius rises to the occasion.

Closing the door behind him with a soft click, Ambrosius slipped off his running shoes before stepping inside the apartment. His heart still raced with exertion as he pulled down the hood of his rain-slicked jacket, sweat cooling on the back of his neck and face. The rain had brought down the temperature to a crisp, sublime briskness, and it had been perfect for his evening run (even if his hair could do without the humidity).

Hanging his jacket on the coat rack, chin bobbing to the beat of his music, his eyes passed over the row of shoes, lingering on the leftmost shelf. He paused. The black boots that usually occupied the space were still absent, the same as they were when Ambrosius had first gotten home.

It wasn’t often Ambrosius beat Ballister back at the end of the day, with Ballister usually having long since buried himself in his academy reports. Even rarer for Ambrosius to finish his run and still see that shelf empty. Perhaps he’d gotten carried away with his research project in the archives. Still, why not give Ambrosius a heads-up?

Ambrosius pushed down his growing anxiety. It’s not as if Ballister has never been this late coming home before, especially with their development reports due soon. Ambrosius would just need to call, that was all. Nothing to worry about.

But first, Ambrosius desperately needed a drink. Bending down to open the refrigerator, he retrieved his water bottle and took a slow sip, eyes surveying the inside of the fridge. His fingers tapped to the beat of his music against the fridge door. They haven’t already eaten through all of those strawberries, have they …?

Through his earbuds, he heard a muffled thud behind him. He glanced over just in time to see Ballister shuffle into the main room, his gait sluggish as he dragged his hand down his face. He didn’t seem to notice Ambrosius as he let out a tired sigh, running his hand through his hair.

Ambrosius straightened, letting the fridge door close, and Ballister’s eyes snapped upwards. When their gazes met, Ballister faltered. For a fleeting moment, Ambrosius could see him attempt to mask the fatigue in his eyes, but Ambrosius’ concern must have been obvious as he quickly gave up the charade. He raised a hand, a weary smile tugging his lips. “Sorry I didn’t call.”

Much Depends on Dinner 2024 Showcase

In Winter 2024, students enrolled in Dr. Margot Finn's ALA 264 Much Depends on Dinner worked in groups to research and write captions for food history materials in the Special Collections Research Center's Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive and in the collections of the William L. Clements Library.

These were featured on the Shapiro Library Screens in Bert's Study Lounge.

Katzen, Mollie & Mermelstein, Catherine B. (1977). The Moosewood cookbook : recipes from Moosewood Restaurant, Ithaca, New York. Berkeley, California: Ten Speed Press. In the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive.

“The most influential vegetarian cookbook of all time” – Wall Street Journal 

The Moosewood Cookbook consists of authentic vegetarian food and dessert recipes that incorporate various cultures. Seven founders created the first Moosewood cookbook in 1972 in response to the rise of vegetarianism during the 20th century. These recipes range from the Mushroom Moussaka to the Cardamom Coffee Cake – an Indian spice incorporated into the classic German coffee cake. These simple yet healthy recipes are cooked at the Moosewood restaurant in Ithaca, New York. Make sure you visit the restaurant on your next trip!

[Culinary Menu : Travel - Ships]. 1905-1997. In the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive.

This menu describes the luncheon served in the three-story first class “Grand Salon” dining room of the British R.M.S “Queen Mary” on Saturday, June 14, 1952, on their weekly trip between Cherbourg, France and New York, USA. Although the cruise ship was initially catered to the upper class before World War II, it eventually expanded to include the tourist classes as well. The menu on the ship changed daily and offered some of the fanciest dishes of the time. The “Queen Mary” is now permanently docked in Long Beach and serves as a floating museum and restaurant.

Fresh Pasta:

Ingredients:

85g plain flour

1 egg

1tsp milk

1 drop of olive oil

1 pinch of salt

Method:

Combine the plain flour and salt in a bowl. Make a well in the centre.

Whisk the egg, milk and olive oil in a small bowl until well blended.

Gradually pour mixture into well while mixing with a fork to form a ball of dough.

Place dough on lightly floured surface and begin to knead dough. Continue kneading for 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic (adding more flour if necessary).

Wrap dough in plastic wrap and let stand for 15 minutes.

Unwrap dough and knead briefly on lightly floured surface. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out dough to 5mm in thickness.

Carefully feed the pasta sheet through the pasta machine and choose your desired shape. Then lay the sheet of pasta on a clean piece of cling film and set off to the side to dry.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and add pasta. Pasta is ready after 8 minutes or when al dente.

This is a basic pasta recipe so it can be adapted for other uses and flavours too, such as for ravioli or lasagne. I like to add garlic, any herbs or seasonings I'm using (e.g paprika, chilli powder/flakes etc.) straight to the dough. You can also add spinach, tomato or cocoa to colour the dough.

free white women from making rice in the instant pot

its not hard. do yall want instructions? okay SO

i usually make a cup of dry jasmine rice

measure ur desired amount of dry rice

rinse that hoe off (im serious rinse ur mf rice and make sure to scrub the grains together to get off all the processing ickiness)

once the water runs clear, transfer ur rice to a pot (put the instant pot down)

make sure that ur rice is level

pour clean water (tap, from the sink, idgaf as long as it's clean, could be in a bottle if that's all the accessible clean water u have)

place ur index finger at the very bottom of the pot and make sure that your water goes past ur first knuckle and halfway towards your second knuckle. don't use a measure cup ur gonna fuck it up (i was raised around Caribbean women i know how the fuck to make rice do not use the measuring cup i don't fucking care) the amount of water HAS TO GO PAST YOUR FIRST KNUCKLE AND IS HALFWAY TO YOUR SECOND KNUCKLE. YOU HAVE A KNUCKLE AND A HALF WORTH OF WATER

PUT A BAY LEAF AND A PINCH OF SALT IN YOUR RICE DON'T QUESTION JUST DO IT (you can also put a teensy amount of coconut oil in it)

put a cover on your pot of rice and water, put it on medium heat (5-6) and let it boil for about 20 minutes (depending on the type of stove u have, if you have one of the bougie ass ones like on tv it could be done in less than twenty minutes, if you have a stove that's older (gas, old old old electric) then it could take longer)

once the twenty minutes is up, take the cover off the pot, and make sure that there isn't a lot of water left but there's still water in the pot. if there's still a lot of water, resume the process of letting it boil until there's not as much water that grains of rice are still floating around but there is still enough that there are some bubbles on the surface.

turn the stove to simmer (or the lowest possible temp) and let it sit for 5-10 minutes depending on the strength of your stove (i usually do 6 minutes)

when time is up FLUFF UR FUCKING RICE WITH A FORK U OBSCENE FUCKS and taste ur rice to make sure that it is soft but not porridge type soft

you have made rice <3
