Already on a cooking kick and resigned to a grueling night of homework (though clearly, there is some distraction going on...), we thought a dessert was in order. Nothing fattening, just something light and refreshing.
What we ended up creating was an unbelievably yummy mojit0-daquirish fruit salad. Though the recipe instructed to let it sit for an hour, we kept sneaking to the kitchen to taste pieces. Everyone, including my pickiest-eater roommate, wanted seconds. We almost felt guilty that it tasted so good, because it required pretty much no work at all. On the other hand, what we missed in chopping and baking will surely be made up in essays and problem sets. Lord.
