My husband is diligently working on this Master’s thesis which is due to be finished in about a month. He has been going to school it seems like forever and has been working so hard. This weekend, he spent most of his time at his laptop pounding away at the keyboard. Because I know nothing about Fluid Dynamics and Mechanical Engineering, the only help I can be to him is to give him encouragement and the occasional snack to cheer him up. So far, his favorite study snack is Spicy Corn!
Spicy Corn
1½ c. corn
2 green chili diced
½ medium onion diced
½ t. cumin powder
½ t. coriander powder
½ t. garlic powder
juice of ½ lime
salt to taste
1 T. extra virgin olive oil
Heat oil in skillet. Saute onions and chili for about a minute. Add spices and cook some more. Add corn and lime juice and saute for a few minutes longer. Add salt to taste and serve.

If anyone has any other ideas for snacks for my dear husband while he is working so very hard at his thesis, please pass them on! Thank you!

I also make the same chat for snack sometimes. YOurs look so spicy and delicious.
You can do the same chat with dalia (roasted chana) too just by replacing corn. I have a recipe for it here:

Hummm love spicy corn, looks yummy!!!
looks yummy and delicious.......This is one of my favorites..
It is wonderful to have the love and support of a spouse during the stressful thesis-writing days. He's a lucky guy!
My favorite snack: cheddar cheese and slices of fresh tomato grilled in whole-grain bread. Takes minutes to make in a toaster oven and makes for a delicious snack.
Ooooh, love the twist to the corn jamie. All the best to your DH for his thesis. I remember having roasted shelled peanuts, with chopped onions, green chillies & a squeeze of lime at the club when we were kids. Maybe he'd like that. Just try roast them to get them crisp, & serve immed after adding the stuff! Cheers girl!!
