Science vs. Romance

Hewo, welcome to my blog!
I'm 23 years old and just finished my undergrad in psychology with a physiology major. I'm starting my masters in neuroscience in September at a new school, but I will be closer to home and civilization (Toronto and adequate retail therapy). I will be studying the neural changes that accompany depression using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). There are so many things I want to do before I commit two years of my life immersed in scientist studies. A lot of things that I didn't have time to do during my undergrad--such as creating this blog =)

This blog will chronicle food adventures, OOTDs, FOTDs and anything that makes me happy ^_^ I hope this blog will help me beat laziness. I've gotten in the habit of only dressing up when I'm going out somewhere nice or for a special occassion, or when I see my bf lol--otherwise I wear pjs, don't wear makeup, and I might not even brush my hair. I even stopped dressing up for school. I would wear the plainest clothes I own on repeat everyday because I don't like wearing my nice clothes when I'm not putting all my attention and care into an outfit...if that makes any sense! I blame it on school and lack of time...but I don't want these to be excuses anymore! I want to be one of those people who always look put together and polished. I really believe that putting an effort into how you dress is a reflection on how you approach life...being lazy in your appearance projects a lazy and apathetic attitude!

This school year went very well and I think I finally learned how to effectively manage my time, or at least how to study! Not very useful given that it was my last year, but better late than never! I hope to organize other aspects of my life as well. I really value time and I'm always striving to be productive, so hopefully this blog will help me with my goals.

Warning: You can also expect some emo rants, lists, and random things that inspire me.

And now for a food post to start off my new blog: Curried sweet potato fries with lobster

My bf and I love to cook...we were inspired by an appetizer we had at Milestones and were trying to figure out how to cook it while we were eating it! So here is our impromptu recipe:

2 sweet potatoes
half a stick of butter, melted
spices
boiled lobster
lemon juice

The deep fried fries ready to go in the oven

The spices we used: fennel seeds, coriander seeds, hot curry powder and regular curry powder + about half a stick of butterThat's how much lobster meat we got out of it =\ not worth the effort if you ask me =P

The finished product!Inniskillin ice wine

Mack tasting the yummy fries ^^I burnt my finger frying the fries =( it hurt all night

That's all for my first blog entry! more to come!
