A Healthy Dose of Distraction

Turns out being back to school substantially increases my internet usage. Occasionally during Income Taxation and Immigration Law I find myself browsing fabulous websites in an effort to stay awake. Here is a compilation of some of my faves of this semester: (Just click on the word and it will send you to the link: just figured out hypertext; cool, I know)

Goodbye Summer, Hello 2L

Back in the LBK, preparing for my second year of law school. It is good to be back after a wonderful summer. Worked as an intern in the statewide Public Defender's office. So much great experience and exposure to the legal system. Also, the office was full of brilliant attorneys; so I just tried to glean some of their knowledge. The three months flew by because it was full with 9 weddings, bar-b-ques, family time, an LBK vacay, the great outdoors, crafting, and cooking. So good.

Here are just a few pics to summarize a very full summer: (I forgot to take a lot of pics, so this is a very limited summary)

Delicious Zucchini is not an Oxymoron.

Too much zucchini in the garden. Seriously, it happens to appear in every consumable dish. I don't even really like the stuff. So I found a recipe to makes a seemingly low-tiered veggie really fantastic.

What You Need
1-2 zucchini's
2 egg whites
Bread Crumbs (I added all kinds of spices when I chopped the bread; dried onion, garlic salt, oregano)
Parmesan (optional)

What to Do
Preheat to 400. Chop zucchini into spears. Dip spears into egg whites. Roll spears in bread crumbs. Sprinkle some parmesan on top. Bake for 12-14 minutes.

Sauce
These spears are delicious in a marinara sauce. I opened a can of tomato sauce, put in on low on the stove. Add in chopped onion, garlic, basil, and whatever spices spark your fancy. Let it simmer for a couple minute.

How to Eat
Eat right out of the oven, dip in sauce. Watch your whole mindset about this neglected veggie change.
