I'm a student pursuing a doctoral degree in late medieval history. My main interests include but are not limited to Latin, Italian, cultural theory, educational curriculum, historiography, cognitive processes, language-theory, gender relations and THE WESTERN CANON (mwahaha); i am not particularly interesting, avant-garde or risque; My main hobbies include the exciting activities of cooking, baking, going to the gym, eating green apple-caramel lollipops, restaurant reviewing and acting as child-like and sassy as possible. I keep these entries from the years of my life - no matter how i feel about them today - available because i find it useful to revisit events i now interpret differently. My name is heather, i'm of Montreal and i was born in the nefarious, ominous year 1984.

Seafood Salsa Salad

Have been looking for a balanced salad meal that doesn’t involve leafy greens (not because i don’t like them, just because i wanted a change). I introduce to you a low carb, high protein salad: a 1.25 cup serving (and that’s a pretty generous portion) has 322 calories from 40g carb, 9g fat and 23g of protein.
