You all are awesome! I keep forgetting about cabbage. I love cabbage and will happily eat it raw or stir-fried with garlic and ginger (but doesn't garlic make all vegetables better?), but didn't do much with it because DBF doesn't care for it.
I'm in practice with the "what do I have in the fridge, and what can I make with it?" type cooking. I need to work on not wasting veggies, because I buy them with the best intentions, and forget that they're there, or I get lazy. Now, granted, I won't have a Chipotle to fall back on when I don't want to cook. What keeps well? Cabbage I know keeps reasonably well, as do carrots.
I've found some good tortillas here in Cincinnati (at Jungle Jim's, go figure), now that I think about it, so I'll stock up while I'm still here, and when I come back for Thanksgiving/Christmas.

I get the sense that you're somewhat down about what lies ahead. I understand all the issues you've raised in various threads, but I think you have the ability to surprise yourself by making the best out of a town that isn't your first choice on where to live. That experience will be invaluable to you as you move forward in your life.

Sorry for the lecture; I just thought this might be a good opportunity for a bit of a pep talk.
Hey Indy, sometimes I need a lecture. Thanks. I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised. There's a Starbucks near campus (for a very occasional treat--think birthday and right after my kinetics final ) as well as a cupcake...place. There aren't a whole lot of places to spend money, but there are lots of bike trails in the area (one right behind the university, in fact). We'll see. I don't think it'll be as bad as I think.
