Studying Snack

I have a huge test tomorrow; and I mean almost two full months of fungal information in one test. In case you're curious, it's because I thought taking the general education class titled "Mushrooms, Molds, and Man" would be easy. It's not. If having to face the terms "Basidiomycota" and "Fungal Hypovirulence" weren't scarring enough, I'm now currently trying to pack my brain with more yeast, mushroom, and fermentation facts than I thought was humanly possible (although truthfully I never gave it much though until now).

I didn't have any time for a substantial dinner tonight because (since I'm a PIKE dreamgirl) I had to be at the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity for "speed dating" at 6 to check out the new lady selection pool--exactly the time I got out of my Mushroom study session. This made for a very inconvenient nomming session at the Sigma Kappa household, as I tried to speedily inhale a plateful of lonely-looking salad greens while checking the time on my phone in manic paranoia.

By the time I left the PIKE house around 8 pm, I was starving. There is only one thing on my mind when my stomach begins to rumble: food, and food now. Luckily, I had some time before I met my friend at the library to study, so I headed over to the local supermarket, Safeway, and grabbed the most delicious salad I could find.

This particular salad seemed healthy and savory enough, so I headed over to Mark's house with what little time I had left to **Kimify it. The salad consisted of mandarin oranges, cabbage, chicken, nuts, lettuce, crunchy noodles, and a sweet Asian dressing loaded with sodium and sugar. My Kimifications included taking out the nuts, crunchy noodles, and replacing the salad dressing with a much lighter balsamic vinegar. Just filling enough to keep me satiated until I was done studying, but not too heavy that I felt weighed down in the slightest!


**A recently created term I used when describing my salad modifications to Amanda, she said I had to put it in the blog.

Looking at this makes me want to eat it all over again...
