Warm Banana Bread with Walnuts & Chocolate
Bananas + chocolate + nuts = dank-dank in the tank-tank. Between my office and housemates, this loaf was gone in less than 12 hours. Recipe based off to this one.

View Larger Last night some of my roommates and I made Vietnamese-style Spring Rolls. I saw the rice paper while grocery shopping the other day and thought it could be a fun group thing to do. You have to dampen the paper in water so it’s soft enough to roll, but after that you can fill it with pretty much whatever you want and that’s it! We used shrimp, spinach, bean sprouts, carrots, cucumbers, butter lettuce, green peppers, and onions. I’ve also read that it’s traditional for people to jam pack these with as many fresh herbs as possible — we used mint and cilantro.

View Larger Also tried out Tempeh Coconut Curry (I swear, it’s nearly impossible to make vegan dishes look appetizing). Anyway, the tamarind pulp was a little elusive but I finally found it in the Indian food section at Whole Foods. This dish will make your kitchen smell amazing!

View Larger Tried out Szechwan-Style Tofu with Peanuts and it was amazing! Super easy and quick to cook, too. This dish is great for people who are scared of tofu.

I randomly decided to record a few minutes of my living room this morning. I rather like the end result. This is like a “sound memory” of sorts
