my sprouted green onions have grown a lot! who knew they had it in them? they are champs. I feel like a proud parent.
I'm afraid to strip away the onion skin to see what my sprouted onions look like. feels like a dorian gray situation.

I'm sucking at NNing, but hey the garden is on its way so better times ahead I think. Planted green onions from seed, they have sprouted!

Went to a Vegan diner/bakery for brunch. Cookies are find for you if they're vegan, right? RIGHT?!
:/
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Saturday, 24 March 2012 21:54 (twelve years ago) link
Absolutely! Just like you can eat as much guacamole as you can possibly put down because avocados=sooooo good for you!
― quincie, Saturday, 24 March 2012 22:01 (twelve years ago) link
OK, good. I'm glad we're on the same page about this.
It was so good though and except for the cookies and fries (whoops) sort of NN. I had scrambled eggs and homemade seitan chorizo. It was amazing.

sugars about the only bad thing I can think of

How do you prounounce seitan? I always say "say-tan" (think spray tan) but have never been sure if that's correct.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Saturday, 24 March 2012 22:10 (twelve years ago) link
Obv I had eggs so the diner part was veg not vegan but the bakery was all vegan, I think. This place was SO GOOD.
I also do the spray tan pronunciation, based on vegan friends who say it that way!
― quincie, Saturday, 24 March 2012 22:12 (twelve years ago) link
that is correct i think

― quincie, Saturday, 24 March 2012 22:13 (twelve years ago) link
My dad loves marrow. I've never had it. Hope your meal is yummy :)

lol @ "Szechuan sauce at the local Japanese place"
― dayo, Saturday, 24 March 2012 22:27 (twelve years ago) link
its' actually an ~Asian fusion~ restaurant
it's pretty heavy on japanese cuisine
― brownie, Saturday, 24 March 2012 22:34 (twelve years ago) link
i just hate the word fusion tho
― brownie, Saturday, 24 March 2012 22:37 (twelve years ago) link
also, i'm culturally ignorant
― brownie, Saturday, 24 March 2012 22:38 (twelve years ago) link
haha I was just teasing the restaurant
― dayo, Saturday, 24 March 2012 22:39 (twelve years ago) link
I am amused by pan-asian restaurants in general
― dayo, Saturday, 24 March 2012 22:40 (twelve years ago) link
i need my rib eye with sauce so any Port Arthur in a storm

there's a place around here that does pho, bibimbap, sushi, lo mein
you get a free bubble tea if you spend $10 or more

You can use steamed cabbage for ssam. My mother serves it with miso instead of red pepper paste. I prefer it with pickled vegetables. I bought a head of red cabbage this past week. I think red cabbage might also work for ssam (with pickled vegetables). I had it steamed hot, steamed cold, raw shredded with carrots, and raw pieces from the head. It stains your fingers! If my brother ever opens or works in a fusion restaurant, I hope there will be more to the fusion than dipping sauces ... But I don't think he will.

I've been doing Abb's spring onions in water re-grow thing, it worked! but, after only growing about 3 inches of new green, the bulb/root end turned into a mushy pulp and it died?
Also, it smells VERY oniony :/

my bf has joined in a weight loss study through a local hospital, 2 years long, with a cognitive-behavioral emphasis. he's been at for like 5 or 6 weeks and has already dropped 15 lbs. i started preparing healthy meals for us at the outset and i'm just getting on board now with the calorie counting, which is both challenging & illuminating.
i'm on the 4th day of restricting my intake to 1600 cal per day, with some allowance for more on days i exercise. i'm really hungry right now.
― zubaz fupa (elmo argonaut), Friday, 27 April 2012 15:30 (twelve years ago) link
i got an app to see how my calorie intake is (and protein, carbs etc), and its kinda much lower than i thought
breakfast: 461 calories (muesli, yoghurt, strawberries)lunch: 254 calories (canned tuna, a yam, baby leaf salad)dinner: 920 calories (butternut squash, mackerel, onion, tomato, avocado, asparagus, okra)
other: 300 carrot/celery/spinach (juiced), banana
only comes to 1930 - didnt feel hungry
over on saturated fat and sodium, thats the mackerel - should have got tinned not smoked

I got a Fitbit! And god help me, I'm going to Zumba tonight (first and possibly last time).
Oh sorry that is not nutrition. Better seasonal produce availability = easier NNing for me. Picking radishes, sugar snaps, snow peas, lettuces from the garden now.
― quincie, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 13:58 (twelve years ago) link
canned tuna, a yamthe mental image of someone eating tuna out of a can while gnawing on a yam is cracking me up.
― kate78, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 17:21 (twelve years ago) link
a yam, a plan, a can of tuna
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 17:40 (twelve years ago) link
haha i totally laughed when i read that too!
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 18:04 (twelve years ago) link
i think it's also because, like ham, yam is a comedy word
and both are delicious

expensive though
this isn't really the right thread for this but i have been doing boot camp 3 mornings a week and i feel good, and strong. also calorie counting and eating healthy. but I'm not making any progress weight wise. what to do???
― tehresa, Thursday, 21 June 2012 02:25 (eleven years ago) link
you very well may be changing the shape of your body in a positive way still. don't be discouraged by the numbers because that doesn't tell the whole story imo. just keep working at it
― carne asada, Thursday, 21 June 2012 14:37 (eleven years ago) link
yah don't worry about the weight piece tza, you are a champion
― catbus otm (gbx), Friday, 22 June 2012 03:20 (eleven years ago) link
if you feel stronger you probably are getting stronger, which will keep your weight pretty constant.
― goole, Friday, 22 June 2012 03:29 (eleven years ago) link
muscle weighs more than fat iirc
― un® (dayo), Friday, 22 June 2012 03:34 (eleven years ago) link
i know all that but laziness made me gain weight from my previous period of awesome and i would really like it to come back off. it's especially frustrating since the last time i was on a routine like this i lost weight much more easily. is this what happens when you get old?
― tehresa, Friday, 22 June 2012 12:02 (eleven years ago) link
Yes, yes it is.
