anyone else?
Can’t see myself getting a huge ass while eating these babies!
lentils, whole avocado, balsamic, olive oil and romaine amazingness:
Also took my first crack at this coconut oil for a lentil dinner last night: (lentils, coconut oil, and garlic herb laughing cow):
Some days, all the cards land in my hand and my food is just as healthy as it is tasty and beautiful. Brekkie was a beyond amazing banana walnut oatmeal.
Then a few hours later (AKA now) I had–am having–a HUGH JASS salad: whole avocado, romaine, and my own dressing made of mince garlic,balsamic and olive oil.
P.S. Any one recommend any humungo salad bowls? All my bowls are really too small for my Hugh Jass salads. I feel a daily occurrence coming on!
I have the most greedy, pompous boss in the world. He sure knows how to kick a persons self-esteem down a notch. Good thing there’s a Harry Potter marathon on ABC complete with extra behind the scenes stuff. Feeling a little better already, plus this salad: fiber wasa cracker, romaine, balsamic, EVOO and relish.
Came back from a lovely Thanksgiving to see two fully(well, er, idk if they really are) SCOBY’S!!! So-freaking-happy! Cannot wait to make some homemade kombucha! Pics later cuz my camera died!
I intend to start my first kombucha tea tomorrow now that I have at least one fully formed scoby.
P.S. Currently doing an olive oil treatment on my curly cues, to whip them back into curly and shiny shape! They were getting a little wild and lackluster for a moment there…. What are some “beauty treats” y’all like to do when you finally have a moment?
MMMM. That would be a cool place to live in.
I;ve had yogurt everyday since I’ve been home. Except today because I ran out
.
I’ve been quite busy because I’m planning to go abroad (either Australia or Germany–can’t decide!) and my school had a protest against the budget cuts. I’m also trying to get around 50 more members for sidekicksocial.com/sfsu so that I can at least get my stipend. It would be nice for Christmas. I only have a few more days. I also lost the court case–or did I tell you already? And that missing 1010, is really starting to hit home.
Hmph. That last oatmeal got me all upset. So gross! I decided to make a batch of roll oats to show just one of the ways I like to eat oatmeal. The roundup:
I used a lot more brown sugar than usual (most times, just dash) but I’ve had an awful weekend (lost the court case) so sugar has been my consoler, since it’s not like I have my mom or bestie with me in San Francisco.
Add a little water…pop in the micro for 1(1/2)—ew brainwaves!, and get a nice, hearty bowl of:

perfect fuel for my 10am Bus. Calc!
Oatmeal like this, always satisfies my picky(in terms of getting full)tummy. Oh! And in Scoby world,Green Tea Scoby (Batch#2) appears to be growing!!!! Scoby 1 looks the same:(

I keep them under my bed now;I think it was too cold in the kitchen!
Wow. After realizing what a money waster buying kombucha is (I’ve bought 4 @ 2.99 and 1 @ 3.99; YIKES!), I did tons of research set out to make my own. Today is day two of the experimental, growing a scoby batch.
BATCH 1: a little more than 1 cup Lipton black tea w/ 3 heaping spoonfuls of white sugar, gingerade kombucha for a starter
The sediment should clump, and clump until I have a SCOBY.


day 3
I also did another batch using three kinds of green tea with lotsa sugar and a plain kombucha which already had a small, gelatinous, and yeasty SCOBY in it (hard to see in pic).

Day 2 looked the same so no pic.
EW. Then I tried out this clearance section oatmeal mix from Target. Now, I hate mushy oatmeal and prefer to eat rolled oats rather than instant–but this appealed to me out of price and ingredients. Before.

After.
Yuck. Too sweet, too mushy. What a waste of money.
P.S. For some reason WordPress hates me and won’t let me upload photos from the same day/two days. I actually have to wait two full days in order to post pictures from my camera.
