Food, travelling, and depression

Yesterday night, my mum and I didn’t know what to eat for dinner. So we went to our local super market, and bought all the ingredients in order to eat mexican. When we were there, I remembered that I had a guacamole recipe somewhere in a drawer. The recipe is by Eva Longoria Parker, and was found on Marthastewart.com. I bought all the ingredients and as soon as we got home, I made it.

It turned out to be really delicious. The only problem was that I needed serrano peppers for the recipe, and they didn’t have that on display. So, I replaced it by some mexican herbs with hot peppers in it. If you want to try it, here’s the recipe:

Eva Longoria’s Guacamole

Ingredients
• 8 large ripe avocados, chopped
• 2 large tomatoes, chopped
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 bunch cilantro, finely chopped
• Coarse salt
• Juice of 4 lemons
• Tortilla chips, preferably lime-flavored

Directions
In a bowl, combine avocados, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and peppers. Season with salt and lemon juice; mix to combine, mashing slightly. Serve with tortilla chips. (serves eight).

 

It looks quite disgusting like that… but it’s actually really good! :d

 

 

 

 

 

We ate this, and the fajitas which were incredibly HOT good.

On another note, I was on the MSN today, and talked to my friend Cennet. The main subject of our discussion was our trip to NYC, which is supposed to be set for September 2009.

We thought about bringing forward the trip to February 2009, because she had found a cheap flight during the Winter Holidays. So, we looked at different websites for hostels, and found one for a bargain!

We’d already made our counting when we found out the feedbacks we’d read on their website were dated from 2002. The hostel is still in NYC, so we thought that the sightseers were quite happy by it. But they were clearly not.

We checked different websites and read comments (dated from August 2008) about the hostel, and found out that it was not what we expected. I also got a chance to watch a video of the inside hostel, which was taken by a woman who was staying there. And the building was literally like a prison.

The trip is still set for September 2009. And now we’re hoping to find a place to stay there.

Anyway, we’re not going to NYC anytime soon. I guess.
