Cooking hiatus

It's been a while.
I apologize.
Life's been pretty hectic lately.
In the way summer and college should be.

I'm taking a break from UCSB for the year and exploring the other options provided by the UC system. For the next four months, I will be living in Berkeley and attending CAL. It's a nice change from the beach and bike life in Santa Barbara. Berkeley is a lot bigger city with a lot more going on. That's not to say Santa Barbara isn't amazing... Berkeley is just exciting in a different way. It's the town versus city kind of excitement. Santa Barbara has the beaches and surfing (which I love) and Berkeley has the hustle and bustle of a city and a ton of really good, cheap food. Thus the reason I have not cooked much over the past month. Well, that and for the first two weeks my living situation was not exactly ideal to say the least (aka I had a sleeze of a housemate). But now everything has worked out. I have a beautiful apartment, which I share with 3 other students, across the street from campus and in the heart of town.

Heart of town... hmmm, good cheap food everywhere I look? Yes, that has been a problem. I have finally remembered that I am a broke college student and don't have the funds to eat out every night. Tonight was the first time I have cooked in a looong time. But who can resist Cheeseboard Pizza or delicious Thai food or burritos? And I finally have awesome public transportation... which means it's hard not to take BART into SF Mission district and eat at Del Fina and Bi-rite Creamery.

Ok, I admit it... Hi, my name's Caroline and I have an obsession with food.
