Spring food - yes, SPRING! and me just rambling.

the sun have peeked out every single day this weekend, and i say it's officially spring. no more snow, no more rain, no more grey weather - i want sun, amazing amazing sun.
this have been a good weekend - friday was spend with a friend, going out for coffee, smoothies and soup. friday night was spend cooking dinner for some swedish friends (tofu scramble with spinach, corn, broccoli and black beans, and a mixed salad - my friend made roasted potatoes and broccoli soup), and eating the food. it was nice to see them all again, well, the ones i've met before, and this lovely dude called Calle brought me blueberry soy yoghurt, some soy cream cheese and this amazing hummus, that my boyfriend loves, and that can be kept at room temp - a good thing to keep around for food emergencies!
later that night, we went to a friends party, it was a lot of fun, ran into some people i haven't seen for a while, met some new ones, and all in all it was a nice friday.
saturday was lazy and hungover, but i managed to go for a loooong walk with my friend, into the centre of the city, where talked, looked through the windows of the closed stores, and i bought a big bunch of white tulips, to celebrate the spring.
we went out for coffee aswell, and spend a good 5 hours wandering around. haven't done that for a while, but this made me remember how much i like just walking around, talking and looking at stuff.
saturday night was spend with the awesome boyfriend, watching "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" - i liked the movie a lot, and it made us talk about dreams of moving around the world, and dreams in general. it was a pretty damn great evening.
today, we got up late, cleaned the entire apartment, did a shit ton of laundry, and had a lazy-yet-fabulous dinner. i can't be the only one out there who have a few things i like to cook when i am lazy, yet want damn good food, right? i am sure i am not. this was something new, but it is definitely a keeper.
this is what we had:


it's rice noodles, sesame nuggets, gingery carrots and broccoli and the fab Isa's corn and edamame salad.
it was yum. no, it was really really yum. it took about 20 minutes to make all and all, and i am slow today. so yay for quick, delicious and healthy food! you really should make the corn/edamame salad - you can watch Isa making it [url=http://www.katu.com/amnw/segments/41825752.html]here[/url].
do it do it do it do it. you know you want to!

so that was all the food for today, but i have one more thing i'd like to share with you: http://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/index.html - it's a real time sucker! but a very very funny one.
