I think I need to start going to bed earlier. I was literally falling asleep in the seminar. Felt so bad! I guess that’s the upside of being a teacher – it’s pretty difficult to fall asleep when you are making a fool out of yourself in front of 45 people.
At break, I need a kick! No volunteers were around to deliver a literal one, so a caffeinated one had to do… Mmmm – really enjoyed this bar. It was soft and chewy.
Right after the course – hot yoga! For some reason, traffic was almost absent, so I found myself with half an hour to kill. What do you do when you find some extra time to kill? Grocery shop! In a local Chinese supermarket!!!! I went a little wild – but there were SO many cool things there.
Shanghai noodles, fried tofu, figs, soy sprouts, instant oatmeal (plain) and peanut crunch candies!
Hmmmm… the weird thing with these candies is that when I took out the box at home, they were already opened, and had a good number missing… I have no idea how this could have happened! NO IDEA, I tell you!!!
After Paula tried to kill us in a hot yoga class (almost successfully too), hydration was mandatory! After chugging a bottle of water on my home, I needed electrolytes!!!!
Coconut water spiked with POM juice did the trick!
For dinner, I did not feel like having anything heavy, so all the vegetables were thrown into the pan: frozen corn + 1/2 zucchini + frozen peas + sugar snap peas + soy sprouts + soy sauce.
Garlic spice + ginger to make things even more interesting! And a splash of hot sauce.
Final presentation, seconds before being inhaled.
Dessert shortly after… Guess what? Vlad’s parents lent us their food processor to experiment with!!! I was waiting for this moment, and knew exactly what I am going to demolish to pulp first – a frozen banana. Throw it in, process. Open the lid, scrape down the walls to move the pulp towards the blades again. Repeat. Repeat.
Gena was right… This post did change my life. Banana soft serve!!!! WHY? WHY would you want to eat anything else for the rest of your life???
I’m going to purchase all bananas in Toronto tomorrow and freeze them.
P.S. Post-hot yoga hair is sexy… sorta. Ok, maybe not.
P.P.S. The peanut crunch candies are still disappearing!!!! I’m thinking of calling the cops.
