Guess what I was doing this evening?!?!
Heck yeah, baby! When Adam and I heard that Bill Nye (The Science Guy) would be speaking at my campus tonight we jumped at the chance to go.
“Bill Nye” was assigned homework watching for science class several times when I was in school. He is definitely a childhood icon for me. His talk fit into a series about sustainability and climate change; it was amazing. He was intelligent, captivating, and funny, and I was pretty much star-struck.
Before we could go to the show I had an afternoon of classes and studying. By the end of tonight I will have at least 100 notecards for tomorrow’s test! While I worked, Adam brought me home a cookie.
Black and White cookies are my very favorite, but I wasn’t feeling the chocolate today for some reason. I did devour all of the white though 😉
My dinner tonight left me feeling very British.
As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program, and I had received a bottle of Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce to review.
As soon as I got the package I knew I needed to buy an eggplant. Here’s an eat your veggies tip – You are just a few simple steps away from food perfection! Chop up an eggplant, pan-steam it until it’s nice and soft, then saute with some Worcestershire sauce. The eggplant turns into perfect pillows and the flavor is pure umami.
Tonight I did half a small eggplant and a handful of chopped okra with Worcestershire and marinara.
Yum! I know this doesn’t look very pretty, but it truly is one of my favorite meals.
To round out the ‘across the pond’ feel I served my meal with this can of Heinz Curry Beanz that caught my eye at the grocery store.
The ingredients list was just too interesting to pass up –
Sadly, I wasn’t the hugest fan. I left most of it on my plate, but it was fun to try.
Now I’ve got to get my head out of England, and out of space, and back into reality for my HUGE exam tomorrow. I will be up very late, and tomorrow’s post will probably be very late, but YOU might want to stop by in the morning for a giveaway 😀
Did you watch “Bill Nye the Science Guy” while you were growing up?

Wow, I find the concept of those beans very strange! Raisins and mango chutney? I’m usually not too big of a fan of fruit mixed with other types of food.
The eggplant looks delish though! Thanks for the idea – I’m def. trying that when I get home!
Those curry beans did sound a little interesting, until you said that you left most on your plate. I always love to try new things, but hate when it leaves me disappointed.
