Cherry Chocolate Mousse

8/3/2015

More than any other time I can remember, my experiences this summer have changed how I view the world.  I spent almost six weeks at a summer program with the top high schoolers in the state. It was an amazing and transformative experience, from the abstract conversations, performances, films, and the wonderful people I met. I'm not usually a big crier, but I cried really, really hard on the camp's last day.  The people and the discussions had brought up questions and topics to me that I had never considered before. I was left with a much deeper thought process, an appreciation for abstract thought and art, and a greater confidence in myself and my ideas. Thanks to those changes, a notable amount of my interests have changed over this summer. So I think it's time that I wrote a new "Loving Lately" post about the hobbies/recipes/trends/ideas/whatevers that I have been - well - loving lately.
Here we go:
  • Using YouTube and watching videos on life hacks, and cooking
  • Drinking black tea
  • Drizzling tahini and vinegar over salads
  • Munching on cacao and dried fruit for dessert
  • Spreading almond butter on medjool dates
  • Looking at the moon
  • Giving away anything I don't use on a regular basis
  • Having long discussions with friends about jokes and philosophical justifications of the existence of everything
  • Reading nonfiction books on topics that interest me
  • Attempting creative writing

Oh, another thing I've been really into lately? Avocados. Just look at the number of avocados in my recipes and Instagram pictures and you'll know what I mean. So when I decided to add cocoa powder to avocados and blend it all up, I knew it had to be good. Avocados often serve as additions to savory dishes - which they often do, and they do well - but they have their place in sweet treats as well. Case in point, this amazing pudding.

     I'm Felicity, college junior who thinks about cooking vegan foods a lot more often than I actually cook (which is pretty much never because it's either a dining hall or microwave noodles for me).
