Being bad again...

...not blogging for over a week. I’ve been busy relaxing, now that the semester’s officially over. I finished with one A+, two A’s and two B+’s. Not too shabby.

Yesterday we decided to have an impromptu dinner get-together at Sofya’s house as an early celebration of our friend Julia’s birthday…and as a timely celebration of Sofya’s new patio furniture ; ) We were collectively craving Mexican food so we made guacamole and quesadillas.

[A nice action shot of yours truly]

Half of the quesadillas were with chicken and jack cheese while the other half were with sautéed peppers and onions and cheese. I preferred the latter because they were lighter but still filling. Here’s how I made it: I sliced one yellow onion, one green bell pepper and one red, and minced one garlic clove. Then I sautéed the mixture in olive oil for about 12 minutes, seasoning it with salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon of chipotle Tabasco sauce. I divided the vegetables among 4 flour tortillas, topped with cheese and toasted them on both sides in a pan.

Along with margaritas, this dinner is perfect for sharing with friends on a hot summer night.
