Classical

IMG_1986edited

Matt and I went for a walk around the University of Virginia grounds today. Took my camera for some snapshots!

Upon our return, we were famished and ready to make a classic…

IMG_2013edited

Jenna’s Channa Masala!

[As I’m sure you saw on the meal plan this morning

Winking smile this !
]

IMG_2010edited

Of course we omitted the onions (used red pepper instead) and we very sadly did not have a jalapeno (used a celery and extra spice instead).

IMG_2015edited

We also used the WHOLE can of tomato paste

Quote Jenna:

"I dare you to show me a person who uses the whole can of tomato paste in any one recipe that they make."

Ta-da! Extra tomatoey goodness!

IMG_2014edited

On the side – millet spiked with tumeric and cayenne, plus cinnamon and coconut butter on mine (real butter and salt on Matt’s)

IMG_2012edited

IMG_2024edited

IMG_2023edited

Tomato divine!

IMG_2019edited

We’re settling down to watch the movie Amadeus, the story of Mozart made in 1984.

A classic[al].

    Oh, and btw–Amadeus was randomly my favorite childhood movie. We always watched it in music class and I practically memorized the whole thing but the big mass grave at the end always (and still does!) give me nightmares.

    Just commenting to say I <3 Amadeus.

    There was a two year period where I watched it every single Saturday and Sunday morning over breakfast. I knew all of the words. I sang along to the music.

    Trust me. This was normal behavior. I was a band geek.

    My family doesn't understand the band geek's need to watch musical movies. They have banned me from ever watching it in their presence ever again.

    Thank goodness I have my own apartment now! 😉

    I LOVE tomato paste as a pizza sauce and use up a whole can or more, depending on the size of the pizza. Challenge accepted!

    I was in Cville this weekend visiting my sister–it was truly fantastic. I love that the trees haven’t totally lost their leaves yet! There’s still a little bit of gold 🙂

    I didn’t like that movie but it really does make you realize how crazy talented composers of that day were. I mean Mozart wrote his first piece at age seven…..when I learned to play that piece on the piano and learned he had written it at age seven I felt a little bummed! haha.
