Day 24. Yum Yum Yum… Daddy’s Chips :oP

Wasssup :o) Hurray finally the Easter Holidays are here. For me its one of these days where finally the weekend felt like it couldn’t come quick enough. I just need to take a break from my studies and chill, and now its here... kind of! Although I still have lots of studying planned this Easter period, thanks to my wonderful Lecturers who decided to set plenty of assignments and work, bless their hearts.

Here's just a sneak preview of the work to be done:

  • Work through “Sams Teach Yourself Java in 21 Days” book over the next 3 weeks;
  • Complete 4 Java Labs;
  • Research and Learn about integration of Java Databases so it can be incorporated in our teams Software Hut Project.;
  • Make a start on my De.lis.ous bookmark plugin Java Assignment;
  • I also need to Learn Javascript & SVG;
  • Create a Website with a Dynamic Shopping Front End with Javascript, XHTML, CSS & SVG technologies.
  • Complete a Database Assignment;
  • Complete two Intelligent Agent Assignments;

So basically not too much to do then :o( Fingers crossed though as long as I do something everyday I should be able to achieve all tasks, but don't get me wrong this is alot of work :oS and Holidays are supposed to be holidays right…. Perhaps not this year!

Anyhow enough about work, you probably didn’t come hear to read about that. I guess I just wanted vent and share a little insight into my Uni days :o)

Hum…what else is new… well I tried making chips today, and not with the usual potato, but instead with Celeriac, and I am very glad to report, they where very tastie. To be honest this idea came about when browsing the Induction Foods list and realizing I had never eaten Celeriac before (Like other things). Therefore I decided to buy some from the super market not realizing what I could do with it. I then spoke with a friend about this, and she mentioned to me Celeriac is kind of a cross breed between parsnips and a potato which then gave me the bright idea to make CHIPS :oP

Chips as in French Fries for all those people who are not British and are thinking that chips are what we call Crisps. Confused I hope not :o)

I chopped up roughly 300g of celeriac into the shape of French fries, boiled them, and then baked them in the oven with oil. I think if I had a deep fat fryer I could skip boiling the chips, but unfortunately I don’t have one, and therefore oven baking had to suffice with lots of olive oil. Once they are crispy there ready to eat :oP Yum… I definitely recommend this idea if you are craving chips <-- one of my favorite foods by the way :o)
