This weekend I was staying with my friend in Berkeley/Oakland. My car was broken into (no windows broken and car still operational, thankfully).

Recipe: Broccoli Slaw →

Never thought I would enjoy eating raw broccoli. Tried to make my own buttermilk with milk + vinegar, but ended up with non-chunky sour milk. Added more mayo to compensate. 1 stalk served 2 people.
