Morjes!

Welcome to my blog. I write about fitting in, sticking out, and missing the motherland as a serial foreigner.

Apple salsa

I love seeing a cooking refuse pile like this one:

Those are the peels and cuttings and clippings of apple salsa, something that sounded really gross but tasted really good.

Making apple salsa has helped to lift me out of a cooking rut. Thinking up all the breakfasts/lunches/snacks/dinners for an entire week, breaking them down into their components for the grocery list, doing the shopping, and then cooking, serving, and cleaning up all that food takes a lot of effort. Who knew?

It's nice to have something fresh and delicious to add to the rotation once in a while. I've got my eye on Citrus Pomegranate Quinoa Salad next, though I haven't been able to find quinoa here. I picked up some barley at the store, though. We'll see how that works out.
