Bonsoir! 

Tonight after 4 hours in the kitchen --- Moroccan Chicken and Vegetable Couscous and Zucchini Vichyssoise soup!  Thanks, Barefoot Contessa! Boy, did I learn a lot... I managed to keep my kitchen clean for the most part but it got really messy, which drove me crazy... doesn't help that I have a super-small kitchen and very little room.

Seriously though - I am not gonna need to go get food for the rest of the
month! I made so much more than I thought I would.  And the best part?  Both are delicious.  I don't have time to put up recipes right now, unfortunately; it's gonna get harder and harder for me to do that unless I copy and paste from the internet because school starts again tomorrow and the infamous 60 hour week is back... I will try to log in and write something as often as I can!  Je vous tiendrai au courant...

PS- all my pants fit again!  I was ten pounds lighter when I bought them last year, but I must have just gained a ton of muscle and lost more fat!
Wahoo!
