if you got some extra money in your pocket...

and don't quite know how to spend it... well here is my phone number! you can give me a call!
(you all probably thought i had some really nice altruistic organization you should give the money to... well i am sure there is, but right now, my telephone number.)
(359) 884487256.

* note: 359 is the country code.


and if you don't want to use your money on a long distance conversation with me, wait a little bit and i'm sure i will have a much more worthwhile cause for you to donate to.

on a completly unrelated topic, i would like to tell you all about the fantastic lunch i just had because i'm really excited about it.
it had chick peas. how exciting is that! i got them in sofia... they were beautiful. I never knew how much i would miss chick peas and chick pea products...
anyways, moving on.
i soaked the chick peas over night and then this morning put them on the stove on low so that they were ready when lunch time came.
then i drained the left over water and am saving it in the fridge for soup tomorrow.
then i took the chick peas and mashed up half then put them all in the pan with a diced tomato a little olive oil and this middle eastern seasoning i got from the iraqi food store in sofia (i have no idea what it is, but it is exactly the smell that all middle eastern restaurants have, so whatever it is, i am glad i bought it because it is exactly what i didn't know i was looking for)
anyways,
so then i put the chick pea, tomato mixture and spice dish on top of rice.
but it still needed something else.
i decided it was cinnamon and sugar.
i know it sounds weird. but i was certain that was it.
so it put a little on it... and yes, it was perfect.
actually it tasted exactly like a couscous dish that kelly made for a party at my apartment back in the states months back.
so maybe subconsciously i was trying to recreat a kelly homemade meal....
definitely a possibility...
