Make your own burritos made by Jenny
(Filled with roasted bell pepper, mushrooms, and onions, salsa, lettuce, and beans)
This year is the first time since I started university that I am not living with the same two girls. After being around Leah and Jenny for three years, I am going through a bit of separation anxiety without them. (Granted, my new roommates are awesome in their own right, but even around them, I still refer to Leah and Jenny as "my roommates.") I am used to being around these two fantastic women almost all of the day, freely talking about topics ranging from political science to poop. We've been through bed bug infestations, watched the entire Gilmore Girl series in an unreasonably short period of time, and generally spent time together reveling in being ridiculous human beings. In short, not being around them is very difficult. (As a note, as a trio, we represent three major world religions, though we're all nonpracticing: Jenny [Muslim], Leah [Jewish], and me [Christian]. The fact that we all found this funny not only proves our compatibility, but also our nerdiness.)
To at least partially remedy this, we've instituted weekly roommate dinners. I started off with wine and cheese, followed by Leah's famously delicious lasagna (this was before the cholesterol discovery). This week was Jenny's turn. (My favorite story about Jenny is that one of the first times Leah and I met her, she turned to us and declared: "You don't know it yet, but I'm funny." Turns out, she only speaks the truth.) Taking into account my eating restrictions, Jenny made make-your-own burritos, with possible fillings ranging from chicken and sour cream to salsa and black beans. I stuck more with the latter. It was, as I expected, a delicious meal, but being able to spend the night with two of the most fantastic women I know was the real treat.
