Sweet Potato and Coconut Curry
And like that, winter arrived. The snow dropped in full force and actually stuck around a bit.
I had a few short weeks for biking. My broken leg meant I was not fit for biking earlier this fall but it was nice while it lasted.
And what is better during the cold weather than a warm bowl of curry?
To keep things simple in the kitchen, I have resorted to remaking some favourites and making twice as much.
Most of my favourites have already been shared (Tamarind Lentils, Bengali Cauliflower Dal, Creamy Broccoli Dal, and Root Veggie Curry), so it does not surprise me to share yet another easy, delicious and healthy curry. This is one I first discovered while testing/eating through Gena's fabulous cookbook and has become a staple ever since. Having blog worthy photos also helps keep me more speedy in the kitchen.
So, please, grab yourself a huge sweet potato and make a double batch. It freezes well should you want to save it until a colder day.

Indian-Inspired Roasted Cauliflower & Quinoa Salad
As I write this, it is snowing outside.
Not that it will last and stay on the ground, but it definitely marks the beginning of fall. The leaves and temperatures have both fallen.
I walked to the Saturday farmer's market this morning and they had finally moved it indoors. With everyone crammed into a smaller place, it was cramped and crowded but I still walked away with my stash of apples. Earlier, Rob and I tried to go apple picking where we had gone a few years ago. Turns out that the farm was subsequently sold and the DIY apple picking was no more. Since the farmer's market is so close to our home, we didn't pursue it further this year.
While we typically eat the apples as snacks and in our morning oats, this time, I added it to a savoury autumn salad. Roasted cauliflower is combined with quinoa with Indian-inspired flavours such as roasted coconut with a touch of sweetness from the apple and raisins. I then drizzled my favourite curried maple tahini dressing, which I usually reserved for my chickpea and carrot salad with excellent results. I needed to double the dressing since this salad was so voluminous.
Did you see snow, too?

Creamy Curried Lentil Salad
It is nice to be home again. While I have a very bare kitchen (some borrowed knives, cutting board, pot and frypan only with a few containers), I am still happy to be starting my new life. We had dedicated more time for unpacking over the long weekend, but since we had nothing to unpack, we spent more time at my parents, thoroughly exploiting their fully functional kitchen.
We quickly gravitated to make old favourites: Tamarind Lentils, Pad Thai, and Moroccan Carrot and Chickpea Salad. Then, finally itching to make something new, I decided to make a spin on two of my other favourite salads, aka The Best Lentil Salad and The Best Chickpea Salad. This time, I used lentils, capers and currants but with a dressing more similar to the tahini-maple-curry dressing from the chickpea salad. I added some greens, too, which I like to add to lentil salads. It was so delicious, it barely lasted one meal.
Got to love simple salads like this. What is your favourite summer salad?

Eccentric Caesar Salad & Straight From the Earth Review+Giveaway
This post is a twofer.
First of all, I have a gift for all of you! A free Beyond Meat product – click here for your coupon.
I don't tend to get too excited about mock meats (it is a bit processed for my liking), but was really curious after it was selected as the "real chicken" on the Today's Show. Some things are easier to find in the United States, so with a coupon for a free product (see above), how could we refuse? Beyond Meat isn't new, but it was new to me and definitely uncannily similar to chicken, complete with the grill marks. You buy it frozen and just need to defrost it prior to serving. Thus, it was super easy to make and great source of protein.
Now for the book review, as advertised, with an eccentric Caesar salad. Eccentric because it is no standard Caesar. I mean, it is a vegan version of a decidedly un-vegan salad but the twist comes from the nutritional yeast and curry powder in the dressing and the mishmash of additional ingredients. The cashew-based dressing was simply delicious, aka awesome sauce. Paired with the fresh lettuce, buttery avocado, briny capers and hemp seeds, it was a superfood-packed salad. (And by superfoods, I mean super tasting foods!) Instead of the herby croutons, I wanted this to be a complete meal and thus added the chicken-less strips overtop. The strips look a bit too perfectly rectangular but they tasted great.
The recipe comes from Straight from the Earth, by mother and daughter team Myra and Marea Goodman of Earthbound Farm fame. Neither one is vegan but have created a gorgeous cookbook filled with tantalizing recipes. There is something for everyone between the two cooks. I found myself naturally gravitating to Marea's recipes, who learned her vegan culinary tricks while living and cooking for fellow vegans in a co-op while at college. Her mother's tastes are more classical. As an example, Marea has a recipe for chipotle-lime Brazil nuts and Myra has a recipe for double-roasted maple-spiced hazelnuts. OK, OK, both sound delicious. Lots of delicious recipes, including a nut-free crispy baked kale chips with nutritional yeast and shiitake mushroom, water chestnut and tofu lettuce cups.
Thankfully, the publisher allowed me to share the recipe and giveaway the cookbook to a reader living in the continental United States. To be entered in the random draw for the cookbook, please leave a comment below telling me what you think of mock meats. The winner will be selected at random on June 8, 2014. Good luck!

Bahn Mi Collard Wraps with Star Anise Pickled Daikon and Carrots
We traded hills for wind this weekend.
Blustery wind. Gusty winds.
It was kind of humbling to cycle 100-km hilly routes outside Houston, and then find ourselves so pooped we could barely finish our rides.
Even though we're aiming for 160 km, our odometers have been stuck at 100-km for a while. This weekend, we decided to shun the hills (and the 2-hour commute to get to them) and opt for distance. The wind was a pleasant (or unpleasant), unplanned surprise. A flat tire was also a surprise and likely cost us an hour of cycling time. We pushed through 127 km of city-riding on Saturday.
On Sunday, we aimed to add hills to our windy resistance. We did an "urban hill" loop where we tried to climb as many highway overpasses as possible. The wind was relentless. If we thought Saturday was windy, it was even windier on Sunday. Southeast winds of 30km/h with gusts over 50 km/h. Rob rerouted it to include a stopover at Mi Tienda #2, our favourite Mexican grocer. We weren't going to skip out on our aguas fresca ritual! This week they had mamey, which was a hard choice over the guanabana.
Even though we were out and about on our bikes most of the weekend, we actually had more energy. I guess we're better at tackling wind than hills.
We ended up (ok, just me) stockpiling veggies when we finally ended up at an Asian market for our weekly grocery run. We put them to great use in this vegan spin on bahn mi sandwiches. Banh mi is a Vietnamese sandwich, which I associate with the pickled vegetables and cilantro. Here, tofu and mushrooms are scrambled as the base. The veggies, with Terry's spin of adding star anise, make this a nice and bright wrap.
Rob thought it was his best sandwich ever. I thought it nice, too, and opted to eat it in a collard wrap.
Maybe everything tastes better after biking 180 km?

Kale Ribbons and Chickpeas with Curried Spaghetti Squash
I am sorry but not sorry, Canada.
I am sorry that this was one really long and cold winter. But I am not sorry I missed it.
Last week, I returned to Canada. In Montreal, I was greeted by mountains of snow banks that still had to melt away. However, by the end of my stay, a fresh blanket of snow covered the city in near white-out conditions. My flight home was cancelled but Air Canada thoughtfully put us on a later flight, skirting the worst of the storm.
(People poo-poo Air Canada but I like flying with them, especially compared to any airline based in the US. I can catch up on my movie watching (no additional charge!) and sometimes they even give me pretzels (HA!)).
Knowing full well that warm meals are still in season (even Houston's weather has tamed somewhat), I am unashamedly sharing yet another winter squash recipe. In March. Because, yes, they are still on my counter and based on my last post with kabocha squash, still in your kitchens, too. Plus, this dish was too good to hide until next year.
It is a deceivingly simple recipe: spaghetti squash, kale, chickpeas, sun-dried tomatoes, smoked paprika and curry powder. In fact, it sounded downright weird. However, after I tasted it, it made sense. A lot of curries are tomato-based and while I don't use tomato, sun-dried tomatoes deliver intense bursts of tomato flavour without sauciness. Smoked paprika adds a different twist so this isn't a boring, bland curry. Chickpeas add protein and bulk. The kale is more earthy but a barely noticeable way to eat some greenery. The spaghetti squash is merely a backdrop but sops up the flavours deliciously. This dish made fabulous leftovers, allowing the flavours to meld even further.
Did you get walloped with more snow this weekend, too?
Roasted Broccoli and Quinoa Salad with Quick-Pickled Raisins
Thank you, guys, for pointing out some technical difficulties with my last post. Everything should be working fine now, so don't miss your chance to win a new cookbooks and try out a fabulous recipe for Cuban beer-infused black beans.
Hopefully I haven't beaten roasted cauliflower to death yet as it is my favourite way to eat it. But, have you tried roasting broccoli yet?
Because, this was so revolutionary that a stranger came up to me at a grocery store, as I was picking out a head of broccoli. Have you tried roasting broccoli? OH MY GOSH. SO GOOD!
In my head, I was thinking: Yes, of course, I have tried it. Broccoli is great roasted! While you could just roast the head, I have got you covered with more creative options: a delicious Forty Clove Chickpeas and Broccoli and even atop a Roasted Veggie and Kale Pizza (with a quinoa-bean crust).
But it is true. Roasting broccoli doesn't happen nearly enough. We usually opt to steam it so I decided to roast this newest head. While you can simply roast broccoli with nothing more than a touch of oil with some salt and pepper, I dusted it with curry powder first and then broiled it until it was slightly charred and tender. I then added it to some pan-roasted tomatoes and carrots, quinoa, fresh arugula and toasted cashews topped with the piece de resistance: quick-pickled raisins conferring a salty-sweet-acidy tang, nicely balancing the whole dish. The recipe inspiration came from Joe Yonan's Eat Your Vegetables and his original recipe is for a single serving. This would be way too much work for a single meal, so I doubled it. Furthermore, I recommend doubling it again to last a few more meals as you'll love the mix of flavours.
Have you ever tried roasted broccoli?

Curried Dill Tofu Scramble with Brussels Sprouts and Arepas
Oh my gosh… what happened? I posted on a Monday! WHAT?!
Long hours at work must be making me sloppy. *sad face*
Bonus for you, I suppose, since I decided to still write up a quickie Tuesday post!
Now that Rob is back, it means that we have our Houston weekend routine back in place. On one day of the weekend, it goes something like this:
1. Sleepy fresh oatmeal breakfast before heading out for a 50-km bike ride (The cronut ride is still my ride of choice. Mostly because the route is very simple. We came for the cronut, but kept returning for the bathrooms… although Rob gives their donuts two thumbs up)
2. Come home to a delicious smoothie, then hop in the shower to remove all that grime
3. After we are both clean, we do a load of laundry, hang out a bit and then let the laundry hang dry.
4. Now, it is usually time for lunch. Rob and I usually make a scramble of sorts, with arepas or chilla.
This time, Rob decided to merge our two favourite tofu scramble recipes… Especially since we learned that dill + curry = awesome! But how about, dill + curry + tomato + Brussels sprouts! With some noochy and kala namak goodness sprinkled overtop? Very awesome! Booyah! I honestly look forward to my freshly made weekend meals with Rob. When they taste this good, who wouldn't be thrilled? :)
Do you have a favourite morning routine?
Curried Ginger Date Bok Choy and Soy Knots
To all those celebrating, Happy Diwali!
While Rob remains away (he came and left again), I was whisked away by friends into a wonderfully chaotic Diwali celebration over the weekend. A huge crowd came to the Houston BAPS in Sugarland to enjoy the music, light and firework display for the Indian festival of lights. A place named Sugarland, a suburb of Houston, seems like a fitting place for a Diwali celebration which includes a lot of dancing, fun, and food including Indian sweets.
While I don't know the difference between a laddoo, burfi, and mysore pak, I can tell you all about how make dhokla, a steamed chickpea flour bread, and baked (not fried!) pakoras. Obviously, I am all over the savoury Indian meals. While I adore Indian curries, I like mixing Indian spices with other dishes as well.
Enter this simple bok choy skillet with soy knots. I got the idea from Iyer's newest cookbook, Indian Cooking Unfolded. Iyer, the author of one of our favourite Indian cookbooks 660 Curries, has written a new cookbook that is, in essence, a cooking class in book form. Based on his own cooking curriculum, he takes you through different cooking techniques in each chapter, highlighting ingredients, methods and tips for each recipe. What it lacks in number of recipes, he makes up for it in sharing his cooking knowledge.
So, I took his idea for a quick-and-easy ginger raisin bok choy side dish and turned it into a heartier ginger date bok choy skillet with soy knots. I swapped dates for the raisins and added in these interesting soy knots. To be honest, I prefer the texture of the yuba skins (aka tofu intestines) as they were very dense. The recipe, though, is a keeper. A colourful keeper perfect for any celebration. A bit more spicy than I am used to (darn, green chiles in the tomatoes) but it mellowed as leftovers and worked well with the sweetness of the dates.
If you celebrated Diwali, how did you enjoy it?
Fresh Mango Chutney
I knew you would miss me in Canada, but I swear, I did not wish Houston upon you.
First there was the Toronto flood.
And now there's the heat wave.
Your heat wave is my new normal. Although last week was actually quite mild. Lots of rain meant the temps were only peaking at 85-90F (29-32C) (before humidex, add another 10 degrees please). Whereas in Canada, you can boast about the amount of snow you endure, in Houston, it is the heat. Although, to be honest, it is not as bad as I feared. Why? Because biking is better. Working long hours. And a/c is everywhere. Yes, my long working hours mean that I cycle to work before the sun is shining too brightly and my commute home is after the mad rush from the Texas Medical Center. I swear, a leisurely bike ride is better than walking in hot weather since you make your own wind. I basically meander from one building with a/c to another with a/c (on really hot days my car's a/c has trouble keeping up, though). And drink lots of (flavoured) water. I also have not been cooking too much. Eating, yes. Cooking, no. Salads, yes. Lots and lots of veggies. Even though my home has a/c, I do not feel like turning on the oven too often.
Raw food for the win! Simple raw food for the win.
Chutneys can be really spicy or ookey sweet. Neither which really appeal to me. I've made a simpler fresh mango chutney, paired with mung beans, but this time I focused a bit more on the chutney as a vector for flavour. Mango, red pepper, ginger, onions, chile flakes, curry powder and even raisins. Apple cider vinegar gives you the tang you associate with traditional chutneys. Use it as a dip, a salad topper or on top of your favourite curry. Whatever you pick, it is quite refreshing.
What are your favourite ways to beat the heat? (more…)
Ravi's Curried Red Lentil and Apricot Soup
Another one of the meals The Dish featured was Ravisoup's Corn chowder with blue crab and Thai basil. It fared pretty well: 288 calories, 14g of fat…. but 1763 mg of sodium. Holy moley!
I have been reducing my sodium gradually over the past year and my sodium culprits are not table salt itself; instead it is soy sauce, miso and sauerkraut. Because of that, I still eat a lot more sodium than my parents. Packaged foods use salt as a preservative, thus canned and prepared foods generally contain more sodium. But Ravi's soup is supposed to be homemade. He shared his (healthy) recipe. The numbers just don't add up. Thus the culprit must be over-salting (and the red curry paste).
While Ravi suddenly passed away a few months ago, he leaves behind a quaint resto chain which serves delicious soups and sandwiches. I haven't been in a (very long) while, but it was a sure-fire bargain on Friday evenings when everything was half-priced before they closed for the weekend. I remember one of their soups of the day, an uber delicious butternut squash soup with lemongrass that I wanted to recreate but it has since become a distant memory.
Another one of Ravi's soups on my 'To Make List' has been his Curried Red Lentil and Apricot Soup. I would categorize this as the other kind of Indian food. If I have to tell you this is a curried soup, then it isn't from India.
However, it has all the components of a great Indian dish: red lentils, tomato, a touch of coconut milk, garlic, ginger and curry powder. The dried apricots are what hold me from thinking this is an authentic Indian dish, but they work really well here. Chopped up in small pieces, you get bursts of sweetness that complement the savoury elements of the rest of the dish. Creaminess comes from the red lentils and just a hint of coconut milk. This soup is more sweet and bright than the cumin-scented pigeon pea soup with mango that I adore but it likely depends on the curry powder you use.
I know the dried apricots seem so odd, but they work surprisingly well. For some reason, their sweetness permeates the soup without being too overpowering. The leftovers were even better as the sweetness subsided slightly. Dried apricots can pack a bona fide punch of taste, so if in doubt, use less dried apricots.
Straight from their menu, though, this curried red lentil and apricot soup is so easy to make, it behooves you to make it yourself.. and with a lot less sodium.

Indian Sprouted Mung Bean Stew with Greens
There was a time when I would get curried out. Too much curry. I couldn't keep up with Rob.
Now, curry has become a staple for both of us. Except I don't think you can tell by what I share here. Be it resolved to share more of our Indian eats. They have converted me.
In my mind, there are authentic Indian foods and Indian-inspired foods or Indian-spiced foods. The latter referring to when you spice things up with curry powder. While I have thrown curry powder into Indian curries, bean and quinoa skillets, and couscous pilaf, I have also added it to tofu chowders, sweet potato hummus, balsamic roasted veggies, kabocha squash flatbread, curried-mustard dressing, raw pineapple rice and more recently tofu scramble. The trick is not to make everything taste like "curry powder", if you know what I mean. This can mean using different types of curry powder (picking one you like is most important; I am partial to Penzey's sweet blend), adding other spices, using different vegetables or cooking methods to shake things up.
I was drawn to this Indian mung bean stew for its simplicity but I knew it would not be lackluster. Instead of the typical red lentil curries I adore, this is a brothy soup.
A flavourful broth is created from fennel, cumin and ginger. Indian cooking doesn't always have to be thick curries. Carrots and collards add colour and mung beans make this filling. Lemon juice brightens it up. The curry powder is added as a finishing spice, at the end of cooking, for a different twist to the soup. Pick a curry powder you like because a little goes a long way to flavour the stew. Fennel and cumin will enhance the curry powder, too. As a note, I used sprouted mung beans because that is what I had on hand, but whole bung beans would be equally as good as would any other small bean, like adzuki, too. My only suggestion is to cut up your carrot smaller than I did, mimicking the size of the beans, for better mouth-feel.
Are you a curry powder fan or a curry fan? Or both? :)

Chili Masala Tofu Scramble
Rob is gone this week.
To a work conference.
His dilemma yesterday was whether to go a talk from Al Gore, Tim Berners-Lee (he invented the web browser), or Neil Gaiman (a fantastic author according to Rob). All 3 happening at the same time. Rob had to clue me in on the last two since I have only heard of Al Gore. ;) (In the end, he chose Al Gore's talk about The Future). Today he is going to try to track down Grumpy Cat. In the flesh. She is here, too. :)
As I've shared before, Rob is the king of hot meals on the weekend. His specialties are tofu scramble, arepas and besan chilla. But this weekend, alone with some tofu and veggies, I pulled them all out for a hot lunch and made myself some scramble.
While it seems like the majority of recipes (even Isa's) call specifically for extra-firm tofu, this time I opted for Chinese-style soft tofu. Turns out this specific tofu is made so close to where we live, too. I wonder if I can get a walk-in discount? ;)
I've used soft tofu in a scramble before and now I prefer it to the extra-firm. Who wants a dry scramble? Who wants to wait for their tofu to be pressed? Not me! I want mine fluffy, flavourful and filled with veggies. This scramble certainly fit the bill: spiced with cumin and curry powder, the assorted vegetables played a roll in the colourful plate. Since Rob was not here to make arepas as a side, I just ate the whole thing. Delicious!
Rob likes to update me on his foodie finds while away: yesterday's lunch was jicama slaw with captain-crunch-encrusted chicken strips in a bacon waffle cone and a trip to the flagship Whole Foods store. After he sees this, I think he'll want some of this curried tofu scramble when he returns, though. :)
Long-term vegans are probably well-versed in their tofu scramble preferences. Do you like firm or soft tofu in your scramble?

Confetti Veggie Salad with Mustard Curry Dressing
Half-way through January.
Have you been affected by the January Joiners?
A congested gym as people begin their journey to health through exercise.
Surprisingly (or not), I haven't been affected. Same thing happened last year as well. Nothing really changed. The same regulars keep returning.
I shouldn't give away my secret: I like going to the gym at 6:30am in part, because it is less busy. Even if I show up late, I can still find a spot at my favourite spinning or weight lifting class. (*except one crazy hard-core gym where the spinning classes are filled by 6am!)
I have been trying to be a bit more punctual for my morning work-outs, but now that I am at the mercy of the transit, things are even less predictable. The benefit of my gym is that there are lots of locations. Last week, I realized I wouldn't be on time for the 6:30am class, so I detoured to the 7am class at a different location. Arrived 15 minutes early, only to find out the instructor was sick and it was cancelled. Another location had a spinning class that was just starting, so I rushed over and joined in 15 minutes later. Something is better than nothing.
Science says so, too. Combined short routines are as good as longer work-outs. Too long is not as good, though. Leisurely runners outlive the runners who ran twice as much. Moderate-paced runners also lose more weight than those who were more active. As you exercise more, fatigue sets in; hunger reigns.
Since I've stopped cycling my crazy commute, my energy levels have improved, my mood is better and my eating is under control. Sounds like I need to work on my balance. More isn't necessarily better. More exercise, at least.. more rest could be better. :)
I've noticed an increased interest in my detox salad over the past few weeks. It reminded me how good it was but decided to go for a different twist. This kind of salad is perfect with hard crunchy veggies. Like the veggies leftover from platters. Cauliflower and broccoli always seem to linger behind. Save the veggies! :) Like my Raw Thai Pineapple Parsnip Rice Salad, I use my food processor to chop up cauliflower, broccoli and red pepper into small pieces. Currants add a subtle sweetness. Hemp seeds add fat and protein. And the dressing? A sweet tangy curried mustard concoction. I love how salads like this only improve with a longer marinade. Leftovers, for the win! ;)
This is my submission to this week's Weekend Herb Blogging, hosted by Simona, and to this week's Weekend Wellness.
Carrot Ginger Lime Soup with Sweet Potato Hummus (& What to do with leftover roasted sweet potatoes)
Some people hate leftovers. (hi Mom!)
Personally, I love them. I enjoy freshly cooked food, but I love not cooking after work even more.
This is how to re-purpose leftovers into something new. The best of both worlds?
Pre-roasted sweet potatoes can be integrated into different meals.
They can easily be added to your salad of the week, but for something a bit more different, add them into a curry-flavoured sweet potato hummus for a filling dip or sandwich spread. Even though I added lemon juice to Gena's recipe, I found it lacking the tang and bite I associate with traditional hummus. In retrospect I probably should have added some garlic, too. Still a nice dip for crackers and veggies and it travelled well while snowshoeing.
Tired of hummus leftovers? Run out of crackers and veggies? Already added it to your sandwich/wrap? Trust me, there was a time when I couldn't finish a batch of hummus within a week, so I understand. But now, I make a batch nearly every week. Carrots and hummus were my dessert of choice on my sweetener-free challenge.
In a land of plenty (and deficiency), you become creative. We had run out of roasted sweet potatoes but still wanted to make this carrot ginger lime soup. Of course, the reason we ran out of sweet potatoes is because I put them in the sweet potato hummus. So why not use the sweet potato hummus instead of the sweet potato? My only qualms about Tess' original recipe for the soup is that it isn't a meal-in-a-bowl. I prefer filling soups. Hummus, with the additional beans and tahini, adds the much needed protein and fat. A few crumbled Mary's crackers and I had a delicious meal. One I wanted to remake hummus just to slurp the soup again when I returned home. Because it was that good and I wanted a photo to share, too.
Either way you make it, this is a simple soup. Boil nondairy milk with carrots until they are soft. Bake your sweet potato or go all out and make some sweet potato hummus. Then combine it along with ginger and lime in your blender. The cilantro topping is completely optional. Creamy, flavourful. A new way to enjoy hummus. Boo-yah! :)
Here are some other carrot soups that I've had my eye on:
Roasted Carrot and Lentil Soup with Harissa and Mint
Carrot and Roasted Red Pepper Soup with Miso and Thyme
Moroccan Carrot Soup
Carrot Soup with Ginger and Lemon
Carrot Soup with Miso and Sesame at Smitten Kitchen
Carrot Soup with Tahini and Crisped Chickpeas at Smitten Kitchen

Here we are and it's already February. Time is just flying by and I keep making excuses . I have to get serious and loose this weight. I am having so many health issues and I know that being overweight is the problem. I feel terrible all the time and it seems like I don't want to do anything....always feeling BLAH. I have to do this for me. I want to be one of those people who reaches their goal and can say I did this myself.
So...I've started with breakfast this morning and my goal is to clean house and work in some exercise. Need to get into a routine and make this apart of my every day thing.
Well it's Friday and another week is gone. I didn't make any progress, but tomorrow is a new day.
Plans starting tomorrow:
Walk at least 15 minutes on the treadmill. Walk in the morning and in the evening.
Drink water
Only 1 Mt Dew A Day
Eat Breakfast, Snack, Lunch, Snack, Dinner, Snack
I want to do this...maybe when I get back on the treadmill it will motivate me to do this! So we will see what tomorrow holds.
Staying motivate is very hard for some reason. I see how much the weight I have gained is slowing me down. Things that I use to do I can do and yet I still can't stay motivated to lose the weight. So here's the plan..start slow.
Start out walking on the treadmill for 15min a day.
Ride m
Ride my bike for a mile.
1 mt.dew a day
Drink at least 32oz water.
Eat Breakfast.
Well my diet was suppose to start this week, but everything that could possibly happen ..happened this week. Everyone going out for lunch and I gave in and went with them. Friday, they ordered chinese and that all by itself is my weakness. So yeah I gave in and ordered with them. Our boss decided to bring in doughnuts..fresh hot Krispy Kreme and yes I had two. So I'm putting that behind me and I'm moving on starting today. I'm going to really try and do this and do it right. I have to be stronger..PLAN, PLAN, AND PLAN! That's my goal.
I am just a miserable person these days. I feel like I have to do and take care of everything and I'm tired of doing that. I need someone to take care of me for a change. 2014 is going to have to be a year of change. I can't go on like I have been doing. It's time to take care of me and do what I want to do. I'm going to try and go home more this year. Memorial day weekend for sure. I need to go see my mom and dad and decorate. I need to see some old friends that mean the world to me. I need to find a good church and become involved. I have to lose this weight. I always feel so bad and I'm having so many problems with my legs that I just can't hardly go. I want to be one of those people who drop the weight and keep it off and has a story of success, sharing with others how I did it.
My mind seems to be going a 100 miles an hour all the time. I think about all the things that I need to do, but I accomplish NOTHING. All my finances are out of whack. I have to get everything caught up and I have to get organized. There are so many people in need..here are a few that are on my mind and needs prayer.

The Top Six Idol hopefuls will be slashed to four this time around. Last week, all were given another shot to prove to American again... they deserve to be in this competition. And with that opportunity comes another one -- a chance to work with Jon Bon Jovi.
Who Gives Love a Bad Name? Not Blake Lewis. Exciting, truly one of a kind and very risky was his rendition of "You Give Love a Bad Name."
This week's mentor, Jon Bon Jovi was a little skeptical of the adventurous beatbox version, but admitted "there's great charm to it." It was off the meter! Blake sold that interpretation of what Bon Jovi says is "a song that a lot of people know and don't want messed with."
Mess with it all you want Blake. I loved it -- and better than the original. The newly brown-haired singer went back to his roots... breaking it down for us to the point of not being able to take your eyes off the TV set. You certainly are unique (in the entire American Idol history) and don't stop taking risks. Your audience is always looking for something new with you. Keep rolling the dice.
"If I were a betting man," Bon Jovi said he'd bet LaKisha is not going home this week. LaKisha Jones brought it -- belting out another version of a Bon Jovi song -- I also like better her way -- "Aint a Love Song." Very soulful, she made you feel something. Simon was feeling it, "I actually could kiss you after that." So of course, Ryan walks her over to him and Simon plants one on her. With the remnants of gloss from LaKisha's pucker, Simon looked proud telling her she rose to the challenge, is so glad that she is back this week and by the way..."nice lips."
LaKisha made a great find with her song. She's not a rocker – like former contestant Gina Glocksen (in the audience tonight, no doubt salivating at the chance to rock out with Bon Jovi). LaKisha said she's heard of Bon Jovi, saw him on Oprah, but never listened to his music. But knowing his music had nothing to do with it, she needed to know and believe in herself. As Randy said, she "blew that out the box.."
In 2005, the band Bon Jovi donated a cool mil to Oprah Winfrey's Angel Network Foundation. Jon Bon Jovi is a very charitable man actually. I wonder if he was involved with last week's Idol Gives Back?
You want to talk about a giver… every week Melinda Doolittle shazams us. Tonight, she rocked out Tina Turner style with, "Have a Nice Day."
Melinda is known as the ultra-nice one of the bunch. Maybe too nice. Although many peg her to be the next Idol, she is still quite meek and seems shocked when she gets rave reviews. She is getting better with accepting praise, but she showed us a touch of that lack of confidence when she told Bon Jovi, "I am so bad at rock."
Ok, can you imagine Jon Bon Jovi saying to you (as he did to Melinda), "I can teach you how to rock. You got the soul. You've got the pipes." I mean, I can teach you?? Nice. I think she was in the mood for learning. He gave her the imagery she could relate to by telling her, "honey take it to church."
The rock genre doesn't really fit Jordin Spark's vocal style either. She couldn't pull it off quite like the others did. She sang "Living on a Prayer." Why does she insist on singing every song, no matter the genre, with the same tone? I'm done with it.
There were a few great moments, but more not-so-great cracks to overshadow it. Randy, a huge fan, was not blown away by the 17-year-old as usual – "when you hit the big notes in the chorus that was cool. But the verses were rough." Jordin answers, "yes, I know." The way she responded, it was almost like she was thinking he felt like it was rough for her to accomplish it – not that it was rough sounding like he meant.
Simon called it "terrible." Cueing the boo's before he even started his critique, he told Jordin she absolutely, completely lost control and was "verging on shrieking some times."
And during this week of the hair band Bon Jovi – Simon brings up her look saying it was something out of the Adam's Family. Her look was actually hot, and her comeback was chill, "I'm picking up where Sanjaya left off. You don't like it?"
I got a hysterical vision of Sanjaya Malakar with an 80's rocker hairdo. What would he sing? I can picture him getting into "Lay Your Hands on Me" with that overhead clap motion. HA! Maybe "Never Say Goodbye" or how about "Lie to Me."
"Wanted Dead or Alive" would be a fitting song to throw in the face of people who were getting angry Sanjaya survived for so long. But Chris Richardson snatched that one up. He mentioned the fact that he knew Chris Daughtry did the song last year, but said someone had to do it on Bon Jovi night. It had a different feel to it – almost with an R&B twist. Simon told Chris, "you did as much as you could with that song. It's not your style of music."
Phil Stacey has risen to the occasion once more. If it could be based on his performance alone, he would not be one of the contestants going down in a "Blaze of Glory" this time. Paula claimed it was the "best opening (act) all season." Randy thought that other than the country week – this was his best performance. Simon doesn't think he did enough to last.
Phil who's always gracious and smiling said, "I appreciate these guys, but they're not the one keeping me here either." Snap!
CLICK HERE to vote for which chances will be "Shot Through The Heart? Which 2 should be cut?
Since last week was for charity, no contestant was voted off. AI will double their eliminations during Wednesday's results show – knocking off two hopefuls at once. The votes each contestant got last week will be added to this week's tally.
Nearly $70 Million was raised for charitable organizations that help people in extreme poverty situations. And you still have a chance to donate.
President Bush and his lovely wife Laura sent a video message thanking those who contributed to Idol Gives Back. The President made a crack about whether he should sing and Mrs. Bush said, "they've already seen you dance."
I know I could be wrong (and probably am) -- but the first thing that came to my twisted mind -- was she just calling him a liar? HA! Like how we've seen him dancing around certain situations. Or was she actually talking about our Prez tripping the light fantastic?

This is definitely our go to spot for Banh Mi sandwiches. You can never go wrong with the number 1! Their coffee bubble tea is delicious and they are always quick to get your order ready.
Went here for lunch with co-workers and glad I did. Cheap and delicious Vietnamese sandwhiches. Plus they bake their bread, baguettes are fresh and tasty. I can't wait to go back and try more things.
This is a frequent stop for a quick lunch. Fun Vietnamese sandwiches and all kinds of bubble bubble milk tea. Great prices as well!
The banh mi are great here. This place has no ambiance, but the food is awesome. Sandwiches are cheap and filling. This is the best banh mi I've had in the Portland area; I really like their bread.
Having been to Lees Sandwiches in LA when I heard of a Vietnamese sandwich place in PDX I just had to go try it. The restaurant itself is decent sized and very clean. While we were there we noticed several folks coming in and getting several sandwiches to go. I came across 3 options for vegetarians - veggie, green onion+tofu,...
This is an awesome place for a bargain lunch. Vietnamese-style banh mi sandwiches with grilled meat and Asian veggies on a foot-long, fresh-baked baguette go for just over 3 bucks. They also have traditional French-style baguette and croissant sandwiches for the less adventurous. The premises is tiny and strip-mall spartan, but the smell of baking bread and pastries is all...
The location would easily make you drive right by but these Vietnamese sandwiches are filling, low priced and the asian slaw filling (cilantro, carrots, daikon) is especially tasty. The BBQ pork and beef sandwiches are both terrific. Good french style baguettes to purchase for take home as well. Bakery goodies look good--haven't tried them. Fast service.
Been frequenting best baguette for a few years. Recently, I have adopted a plant-based diet and best baguette serves a veggie sandwich which I enjoyed before my dietary change, but seriously adore now.
The veggie consists of carrots, cilantro, jalapeño, tofu and some crazy mayo all on a foot long lighter than air baguette. The menu consists of a dozen...
This is an Asian deli place, that offers wonderful baguette sandwiches filled with traditional Vietnamese fare at very, very reasonable prices. We had a combination baguette special, filled with pate, premimum ham, pork roll and head cheese for $3.25. They also offer a fried tofu, carrots, taro and vermicelli noodles in a baguette for $2.95. French Sandwiches with ham and...
You can get a great lunch for just three bucks here. The chicken or meatball sandwich would be the best place to start, but every one is worth trying. Add some Maggi seasoning to make it extra tasty!

Miguel Cotto and Sergio Martinez presser in LA
March 14, 2014
By: Chris DeGuia
On June 7, 2014, Miguel Cotto will attempt to become the first Puerto Rican fighter to win a four title in four weight divisions. He will face the WBC and Ring middleweight title king Sergio Martinez. The fight will be at Madison Square Garden in New York City and it will air on HBO pay per view. Both Cotto and Martinez went on a three city press tour. The cities they went to was Puerto Rico, New York and Los Angeles.
So, I attended the Los Angeles press conference on March 12, 2014 and I listen to what both Miguel and Sergio had to say to the press, and media. After the press conference, I was able to interview Miguel Cotto, Tom Loeffler, and record Bob Arum talking to the media about Top Rank having there first ever fight at Madison Square Garden.
Miguel Cotto
Tom Loeffler on Gennady Golovkin
Loeffler on the Klitschko brothers
Bob Arum
Overall, I enjoyed the press conference and I was able to interview Cotto. Cotto was really nice person to interview. For Martinez, I could not get him because everyone was lined up to interview him and only a few got him. When it was time for a group interview with Sergio he only had time to answer one question. I tried to get in close to Martinez to record what he had to say but tons of media and press where all over the place. Also, the security was really uptight on Sergio. At least I went home and got my interview with Miguel Cotto and I did not go home empty handed.

Prosperity Of Asian Economies To Be Studied In New Research Project At UofT's Martin Prosperity Institute
TORONTO, March 3, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Martin Prosperity Institute (MPI) at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management, in partnership with Manulife Financial, has established the Manulife Asia Desk; a hub for thought leadership and research related to Asian economies and prosperity.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (September 2010)
A registered dental hygienist (RDH) is a licensed dental professional who specializes in preventive oral health, typically focusing on techniques in oral hygiene. Dental hygienists provide three types of services to their patients. The first of these is preventive services to promote and maintain good oral health. The second is educational services to help patients develop behaviours that promote better oral health and help them understand the importance of practicing these behaviours. The third type of service provided is therapeutic services which are treatments meant to stop disease and maintain healthy tissues in the mouth.[1] Local dental regulations determine the scope of practice of dental hygienists. In most jurisdictions, hygienists work for a dentist, and some are licensed to administer local anesthesia.[citation needed] Common procedures performed by hygienists include cleanings known as prophylaxis, scaling and root planing for patients with periodontal disease, taking of prescribed radio graphs, dental sealants, administration of fluoride, and providing instructions for proper oral hygiene and care.
Dental hygienist work together with dentist to contribute to a co-therapist environment, while providing optimum oral health care to the public. Dental hygienists also offer expertise in their field and provide the dental hygiene diagnosis, which is an integral component of the comprehensive dental diagnosis.[2]
The dental hygiene process of care has five steps:[citation needed]
Over a period of months or years, a dental hygienist may evaluate the client's conditions several times, altering the diagnosis and plan as the client's condition changes.
Dental hygienists in Australia must be graduates from a dental hygiene program, with either an advanced diploma (TAFE), associate degree, or more commonly a bachelor's degree from a dental hygiene school that is accredited by the Australian Dental Council (ADC).
All dental hygienists in Australia must be registered with the Dental Board of Australia, after completing a minimum of three years of training.
The Dental Hygienists' Association of Australia (DHAA) Inc., established in 1975, is the peak body representing registered dental hygiene service providers in Australia. A dental hygienist does not need to be employed by a dentist but can independently assess patients and make treatment plans within their scope of practice whilst working in the community. The National Law requires the same level of professional responsibility from dental hygienists, oral health therapists and dental therapists as it does from dentists, dental specialists and dental prosthetists in that all practitioners must have their own professional indemnity insurance and radiation licences. They are also required to complete 60 hours of mandatory continuing education in a three year cycle. [3]
A Bachelor of Oral Health is the most common degree program. Students entering a bachelor's degree program are required to have a high school diploma or equivalent. Most Bachelor of Oral Health programs now qualify students as both Dental Hygienists and Dental Therapists, collectively known as Oral Health Therapist[citation needed]
Dental hygienists in Canada must have completed a diploma program, this can be 19 months to 3 years. Three universities in Canada offer Bachelor of Science degrees in Dental Hygiene: Dalhouise University, University of Alberta, University of British Columbia.[3][4][5]
Dental hygiene across Canada is a well-respected career with many opportunities. These possibilities include working in clinical, administration, education, research and public health positions. The wages vary throughout the country; from approximately $32 per hour in some areas to as high as $55 per hour in others. A surplus of new dental hygiene graduates in recent years has resulted in a decrease in wages in some regions.
Some of the downfalls to practicing in different provinces are the different regulations. For instance, in BC, the hygienist cannot provide treatment without the patient receiving a dental exam in the previous 365 days unless the practicing hygienist has an extended duty module (resident-care module). In AB, BC, MB and SK, hygienists also administer local anesthesia if qualified to do so.[6][7][8][9] In Ontario, hygenists may take further training to become a restorative hygienist. [4]
Dental hygienists in BC, ON, NS and AB are able to open their own private clinics and practice without a dentist on staff.
Dental hygienists in the United States must be graduates from a dental hygiene program, with either an associate degree (most common), a certificate, a bachelor's degree or a master's degree from a dental hygienist school that is accredited by the American Dental Association (ADA).[5]
All dental hygienists in the United States must be licensed by the state in which they practice, after completing a minimum of two years of school and passing a written board as well as a clinical board exam.[6] State requirements vary by state, and are controlled by state dental boards.[7]
Dental hygienists school programs usually require both general education courses and courses specific to the field of dental hygiene. General education courses important to dental hygiene degrees include college level algebra, biology, and chemistry. Courses specific to dental hygiene may include anatomy, oral anatomy, materials science, pharmacology, radiography, periodontology, nutrition, and clinical skills.
A Bachelor's of Science in Dental Hygiene is typically a four-year program. Students entering a bachelor's degree program are required to have a high school diploma or equivalent, but many dental hygienists with an associate's degree or certification enter the bachelor's degree programs to expand their clinical expertise and help advance their careers.
Graduate degrees in the field of dental hygiene are typically two-year programs and are completed after the bachelor's degree. Common graduate courses in dental hygiene include Healthcare Management, Lab Instruction, and Clinical Instruction.
After completing one of the more than 200 accredited dental hygiene programs in the United States, dental hygienists must be licensed in the state in which they work. Licensure requirements for becoming a Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) vary from state to state, but most require a two-year degree, a written examination, and a clinical examination. The National Board Dental Hygiene Examination is intended to fulfill the written examination requirements. The clinical examination is typically administered by the state licensing board.
In addition, the American Dental Hygienists' Association has defined a more advanced level of dental hygiene, the Advanced Dental Hygiene Practitioner otherwise known as a dental therapist.

Dougie Freedman feels jealousy could see Bolton upset Sunderland in the FA Cup
Dougie Freedman hopes jealously can inspire Bolton to an FA Cup upset win over Sunderland at the second time of asking.
Wanderers took a 2-0 lead in the original third-round match at the Reebok Stadium nine days ago, only to be pegged back by goals from Connor Wickham and Craig Gardner in the final half-hour.
The winner of tomorrow night's replay will be rewarded with a home tie against Everton and Freedman believes the prospect of another 90 minutes against Barclays Premier League opposition acts as a strong incentive for a squad that dropped out of the top flight last May.
"To play these games against Premier League teams just reminds the lads what we're missing," said the former Crystal Palace boss.
"It's always good - I feel it just shows them we're jealous of where they (the opposition) are and want to get back up there as soon as possible. It's a little reminder of what we're missing out on."
Bolton appear to be in a transitional phase during the opening months of Freeman's reign, after the 38-year-old Scot replaced compatriot Owen Coyle at the end of October.
Saturday's 1-1 draw with Millwall leaves the pre-season promotion favourites 16th in the npower Championship - 10 points shy of the play-off places and eight above the relegation zone.
By contrast, Martin O'Neill's Sunderland secured a fourth win in seven league outings by brushing aside West Ham 3-0 at the weekend, but Freedman remains bullish about his side's prospects
"It'll be tough but, listen, football's tough," he said. "If you've not got thick skin then you might as well step out of this game because it's a tough environment where you've got to match teams that are not going to give you an inch.
"We feel in the first game we played very well for 70 minutes against a Premier League side. We were 2-0 up and I felt that we possibly deserved to take the game.
"We'll go up there full of confidence knowing that if we produce what we produced at home then we've got a chance of winning this game."
United States midfielder Stuart Holden could make his long-awaited return from severe knee problems having been named in Freedman's squad.
Holden's only appearance since sustaining a gash that required 26 stitches against Manchester United in March 2011 came at home to Aston Villa in last season's League Cup, although a subsequent cartilage problem proved to be a major setback in his rehabilitation.

Drunk Mom Fled Scene After Crashing Car With Son In Backseat: Cops
A Long Island mother was arrested and charged after police say she crashed her vehicle into another and fled the scene. At the time, cops say she was driving her 5-year-old son and was also under the influence of alcohol.
According to Suffolk County police, Jessica Lazarus, 39, of Centerport was charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated under Leandra's Law, leaving the scene of an accident with injury and endangering the welfare of a child
Lazarus was behind the wheel of her 2010 Dodge north on Centershore Road when she struck a 2005 Toyota that was traveling westbound at the intersection of Route 25A at around 3 p.m. Monday. The collision caused a chain reaction causing the Toyota hit a 2010 Jeep that was stopped at a red light.
Drivers for both the Jeep and Toyota where transported to Huntington Hospital where they were treated for non-life threatening injuries. No other injuries were reported.
Lazarus who fled the scene shortly after, was arrested later at her home. She was arraigned Tuesday in First District Court in Central Islip.
Lazarus' son was turned over to relatives, police said.Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

This hotel was adequate for the price.

This Super 8 is an older hotel and there are very few amenities but if you just need a place to sleep its fine. We found an ad for it in a travel guide at a rest stop that showed a much lower room rate than we were booked at but they refused to honor it because it was for walk-ins only and we had a reservation. I was prepared to cancel my reservation but the desk clerk said they would not be able to accommodate us if we did. She said they do not ever have walk-in rooms available during the summer because they have a large group that uses them to house travelers daily - seemed a little sketch. We had a large group and needed multiple rooms (were there for a funeral) so kinda stuck paying the higher rate. ...

This hotel was just average but was low priced so I didn't have high expectations to begin with. Facility is dated and old feeling. Bed was comfortable enough. Continental breakfast was typical with cereal, english muffins, waffle maker, cinnamon rolls, coffee, and juices.

Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep.
To find the principal of Wrightsville Elementary in York, Pennsylvania, you might have to look on the roof. Students of Don Gillett are in a program tracking books they read. If they total 2,000 books in the next few months, he says he'll get a tent and a grill and live on the roof for a while. He's even involved the local baseball team. The more they win, the longer he'll stay up there.
You can't help but wonder if the principal secretly wants to spend a little bit of time above it all.

TCHS Quick Links
Hanh PhamThe Guidance Dept. has had the pleasure of working with Hanh Pham throughout the year as its Peer Leader. We recognize Hanh as a stellar student because she has proven to be a great student, and a great contributor to the department. Since her first day as Peer Leader, everyone in the department recognized her drive and commitment to success. She is a hard worker and contributes 100%, whether the task is miniscule or important. In addition to recognizing her hard work in the Guidance Dept., we would like to congratulate Hanh for being selected as a Posse Scholar with The Posse Foundation. This foundation is a non-profit organization that identifies, recruits, and trains student leaders from public high schools to form a group of 10 to 12 students, resulting in their "Posse." The foundation awards students with a full tuition scholarship and sends them to some of the most prestigious colleges and universities in the nation. Every year, counselors are asked to nominate students to receive this distinguished award. We were ecstatic to learn that Hanh was accepted as a finalist, and were over the moon when we learned that she was selected as a Posse Scholar to the College of Wooster.
