So yesterday was a wild day in the culinary world of apartment no. 5. I went to bed shamefully early (there's little for a bum like me to do when all my studious roommates have midterms). I got up at six am and made a loaf of banana bread (to feed the bounty of people staying with us this weekend). Unfortunately though, within minutes there was smoke pouring from the oven. That is alarming in any context but at 6 in the morning it is, without a doubt, too much to handle. That's okay I thought, it must just be the fact that our oven has "super powers" as Liz puts it. That's code for we're not really sure if it's temperature is accurate. Anyways, I shook off that failure, assuming that the bread was just powercooked (the top was completely black when I went to remove it) and so I moved on to the muffins. It's a box recipe so it was supposed to be easy but it too ended in plumes of smoke and black tops. It was then that I realized I had set the oven to Grill/Gril setting instead of the Bake/Cuire setting. Oops. Let me repeat, OOPS. Thankfully though, in my anger/frustration/confusuiopn/amusement I ended up making another batch of banana bread and so was able to correct my mistake. Just in the nick of time too, since minutes later I had to run out the door to class. Those are the times I love living five minutes from school. The culinary train rode right on into the afternoon when I make a vegan lasgna to be comsumed by all six of us on Saturday night. Unfortunately, I didn't have the recipe with me so I just did it from memory. Haha, we'll see how that goes.
Now we have a coupious amounts of bakes goods, some more edible than others. That's good because Michelle's boyfriend and Claire and my's friend Emily are visiting this weekend (yay!)! Tonight Michelle has prepared Tortilla Soup and then we're going to a concert tonight. I bought my tickets in August for it so I'm pretty much so excited that I can't breath right (I'm only half joking).
Right now that's about it. With so many visitors here this weekend will be a grand tour of Montreal.
