So you can see my problem now is I have no idea what to do with myself. I mean I have hobbies and stuff but it's like I need my politics fix, but the idea that I need to read the news makes me think that I should wean myself off of it. So I guess i'm just going through some sort of withdrawal at the moment- which involves lots and lots of baking! Sorry if this made nooooo sense what so ever but I did have an eventual point for this post, Walnut Raisin Rice! (lol).
I love rice, and I love to snack- so I thought why not find a rice/snack recipe?? So I did, and it is yummmy and oh so simple.
Cooked long grain rice - 2 cups, I used Basmati
Walnuts - a big handful
Raisins - 2 tbsp
Olive oil - 1 tbsp
Lemon juice - 1 tsp
Salt - about 1 tsp
Pepper
Put the walnuts in a zip lock bag and crush them lightly using a rolling pin. Place the crushed walnuts in a pan and toast on medium heat till they are slightly browned. Be careful not to burn the nuts. When the nuts are done, add all remaining ingredients to the pan and mix well. You could use any combination of nuts and dried fruit, like pine nuts and cranberries for example and it would still turn out scrumptious :-D

I think after a little while, you'll get back to your daily political fix. Obviously you're sick of it now because you were constantly reading up on it for twenty two months.That would drive anyone crazy!!!
But trust me, you'll get back to it..
eventually. just give it time.
And also I was gonna say something else bu i totally forgot.

Sounds like you have Post-Presidential Campaign Depression. Yep. Well, that is what I call it, and I have it too! It's exhausting and addictive to keep up with everything while it's happening, and then it's done and you realize just HOW much of your time was spent doing so. Baking is good for political withdrawals, and you'll better in no time!
Hi there. I wanted to thank controlled chaos for stopping by my blog and commenting on my cat's picture. I like your blog. Very different and quite refreshing to read. I'm going to keep checking in with you. I like the snack recipe too! Thanks again for stopping by.
nothing's wrong with you. you are just going thru withdrawal mode. you'll get over it but it takes time so don't rush it..
I wonder if it had to do with ignoring the possible freaking out of finals... well, atleast that's what I did. I decided instead of studying I'd bake 13 gingerbread houses and invite a crapload of kids over to decorate them. I figured there'd be NO way I could think about school with a house full of sugar intoxicated crazed midgets.
