Last night we went to our last college dinner of term. Monday night is an extra nice meal for grads in college, if you book in advance, and we dress up and wear our gowns.
Unfortunately, I had to spend a large part of today packing. I hate packing! At least packing up to go home is easier, because everything has to go. I need to completely vacate my room. But it's going to take lots of trips between my Oxford house and my London house, so I still need to figure out what I will need and where. I'm not making my first trip home until Thursday morning.
In order to move out, I'm also eating up the food from my freezer, hence freezer potluck tonight:
I had a whole rainbow trout in the freezer that I'd bought reduced to clear a few weeks ago, so I baked that with herbs and flaked almonds. Trout and almonds are a great combination!
I had some roasted sweet and normal potatoes in the freezer, so I made them into a potato salad. As they were cooked already, I crushed them, and added lots of crushed garlic, paprika and some mayonaise. Potato salad always needs a bit of a kick.
I also had creamed leeks - leeks saute'd and then mixed with mayo, and a couple of roasted parsnips. I added some roasted broccoli too. It was a pretty good dinner to interupt my packing - although that had already been interupted by my going out for a long gossip with a friend...
Congrats on the scholarship! And that trout looks yummy. I should try crushed almonds on trout soon!
ReplyDeleteUgh I hate packing as well. It's always my least favorite part of school. That, and unpacking. That's bad as well.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the scholarship! Every little bit helps... That trout looks good, sometimes freezer meals can be delicious.
Thanks for the award the other day!
