12 More Random Things
1. I don't give up easily.
2. I learned a great recipe for chickpeas yesterday: Take a can of chickpeas, drain and rinse. Mix them in a bowl with a spoonful of canola oil, a spoonful of nutritional yeast, and a pinch of salt. Bake them in a single layer on top of parchment paper on a cookie sheet, at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Stir them occasionally. That's it! I couldn't believe how tasty they were! It was hard to find nutritional yeast, but worth it.
3. I also learned that you can buy fruit snacks with food stamps but not nutritional yeast. That's pretty messed up!
4. On that note, I'm such a picky eater that people constantly express wonderment that I'm still alive. I prove Darwin wrong.
5. I've worn the same style of sneaker, almost every day, for at least 6 years.
6. My all-time favorite song is Billy Bragg's 'A New England', followed closely by 'Under Pressure'. The latter has been my favorite song for as long as I can remember.
7. My favorite Japanese word is "milkshake", mirukusheki.
8. Relatedly, I'm Gunn High School's Caucasian chopstick champion.
9. I've cut my own hair two times and it turned out fine, but I'm kind of afraid to do it again.
10. I tend to name things-- I was pleased that I came up with a derogatory nickname for our office database, Salesforce-- "Snailsforce".
11. I found the only two things I really can't live without are good Mexican food and people who share my sense of humor and/or understand me. Okay, that and cats.
12. I'm fairly good at watercolor painting.
So there you are! Did you learn some interesting facts? Haha...
Also, this song is great.
