Oooohhh January 8 was a doozy! 

I can't remember what I ate for breakfast or lunch (it was probably brunch); but I had a tofu burger from Farm Boy, and made some awesome sides and yummy accompaniments for it. 

On the burger itself, I had toum (from Farmboy), jarred roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, and sauteed mushrooms. 

For sides, I had coleslaw with a home-made dressing (rice vinegar, gojuchung, and way too much sugar); sweet pickles, purple sweet potato fries, and sauteed squash.

So, I decided to actually *use* my dull diaries, to track my meals  (I'm trying to figure out what I do cook regularly, what I should cook regularly, and the new recipes I try.) I'm also going to post pictures from my walks with Riley and my walks on my own, maybe talk about my fitness attempts and ongoing weight loss project. I have been tracking these things through notebooks and journals - but why not have it all in one place? Ain't nobody here but us chickens. ;)  So, today's unappetizing photo (lol) - this was actually really yummy, even if it wasn't pretty.  I had a pita, smeared with hummous, toum, vegan feta, and bottled antipasta (with the oil squeezed out). My sides were leftover broccoli and cabbage from the day before.  It wasn't pretty, but it was yummy! Since I'm posting from the future, I can't actually remember what I had the rest of the day, or what I did or..? lol I walked 5.8 km though. I'm doing my usual 2,025 km in 2025, and have...

I didn't feel like eating all day (Saturday is the day I lie in bed all day); so I ate nothing until dinner time, at which time I attempted a "chow mein" inspired by my finding a packet of "chow mein" sauce.  So I sliced off a chunk of tofu and cut it into cubes, lightly tossed them in seasoned rice flour (garlic powder, s&p) and fried them until crispy on all sides. I also sauteed some squash, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, onion, and fresh chili peppers. While I was doing all of that, I prepared chow mein noodles per the package directions, and then combined it all with the sauce. No pictures please! lol  I didn't think to take a picture, because I didn't decide to keep track of my meals until tonight - but here's a pic of the snow?  4.7 km I guess I'm gonna have to do a real walk tomorrow to catch up!

Rumble in the Park: Kit vs. The Lamppost

Image
It looks innocuous, no? Firmly ensconced there in the earth. Standing straight and tall. Lamp posting with the best of them, a paragon of lamp post-ness. Oblivious of the hoi polloi around it; unaware of the humans, assorted dogs, ping pong players, that dude who does the daily crossword at the picnic tables every morning (if the weather allows); early risers digging around in the dirt and trimming or harvesting stuff in their allotments. What is all of that to a lamp post? Nothing. Literally beneath it. So, there it was, on that fine day in late March; standing in the sunshine, thinking its lamp posty thoughts. On that particular sunny weekday morning, Riley and I went to this lamp post’s park, as is our weekday wont. She did her business, checked out the gardeners, ran through the sand in the playground and dug a few holes; ignored the ping pong players, barked a warning at the puzzler (who by now doesn’t even look up at her anymore, so inured is he to her: “Don’t come near me or my...
