Bday

[sereneorange]

I arrived at work yesterday feeling a lot better than I did on Thursday (was sick). I soon felt much better after having warmed up my delicious quinoa, cranberry, cinnamon, honey, and fat free cream porridge that I made.






Inayah came in bearing cupcakes baked by her and her children. They were a scrumptious birthday treat for the office.





Around midmorning, a delivery arrived for me. Also from Inayah. She is very thoughtful, no?







I went home, then soon left for a lecture at the Jung Center given by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche - Sleep, Dream, and Clear Light: A Tibetan Mini-Retreat






Today, my sister made me a yummy spinach and feta omelet and gave me a birthday gift of tickets for Connor and I going to see Body Worlds2 at the Museum of Natural Science. It was amazing. The sliced body was amazing, but I was particularly fascinated by the woman with the fetus in the uterus.




We filled up on Kim Son for lunch and rainygirl  is coming over for a visit.

Pretty good day.

Happy birthday!

That porridge looks delicious. Is it difficult to make?

super easy. Soak the quinoa for 15 min while I do something else, come back, rinse it a time or two. Put it in a pan with boiling water (1 3/4 cup water to 1 cup quinoa) simmer for about 20 min till water is gone. Then start adding crap. I put in hone, cinnamon, pinch of sea salt, tossed in some dried cranberries and some fat free borden half and half.

nummy.

Quinoa is amazing

Wiki stuff:

In contemporary times, this crop has become highly appreciated for its nutritional value, as its protein content is very high (12%â“18%), making it a healthful choice for vegetarians and vegans. Unlike wheat or rice (which are low in lysine), quinoa contains a balanced set of essential amino acids for humans, making it an unusually complete protein source.[5] It is a good source of dietary fiber and phosphorus and is high in magnesium and iron. Quinoa is gluten-free and considered easy to digest. Because of all these characteristics, quinoa is being considered a possible crop in NASA's Controlled Ecological Life Support System for long-duration manned spaceflights.[5]

Yum! Thanks for the directions. I'm definitely saving this for when I go back home and actually have a kitchen to make this in!

Ja, I saw your birthday alert on Facedesk but I haven't been doing that much anywhere the past couple of days, so happy belated birthday, girl. :)

How many manboobings do I owe you? ;D???

The Body Worlds exhibits are one of the best things ever. Which figures were in this exhibit?

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

there was the x, the y, the skateboarder, the ice skaters, the pregnant woman, the fetuses, the slices of brains, the full person sliced, the brain with all the nerves, ... so many

[antonchigurh.livejournal.com]

Some of those I've seen, some I haven't. Was the man & horse there? Or the flying man? My favorite is the running man.

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

none of those were there

I totally spaced out that it was your bday!

Happy belated.
