- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Cups red lentils, rinsed and picked through
- 1/2 lb pancetta, or good quality slab bacon cut into a 3 or 4 large chunks
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced rosemary leaves
- 1 teaspoon minced marjoram, or oregano
- 1 red bell pepper peeled, seeded and chopped
- ½ gallon homemade chicken stock or canned broth
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin seed, toasted in a dry pan until fragrant
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
In a heavy bottomed soup pot heat olive oil on medium heat. Add carrot, celery, onion and pancetta. Sauté gently for 7-10 minutes until the vegetables are soft but not caramelized and the pancetta has rendered some of its fat. Add in the garlic, rosemary and marjoram and sauté briefly until aromatic. Add in the stock and lentils. Bring to a boil, and then turn the heat down to low. Simmer 1 hour or until the lentils are tender. Add in spices.
With tongs remove the pieces of pancetta and set aside. When cool enough to handle, pulse in a food processor or chop by hand into small pieces.
With a hand blender (or in batches in an upright blender) pulse the soup until mostly pureed but with a few chunks. Add back in the chopped pancetta and adjust the seasonings. Depending on how salty your pancetta is, the soup may need some salt added.

Did you see THIS story...about a teacher in suburban Philadelphia who writes a blog about how the kids in her classes (10th, 11th and 12th grades) are "rude, disengaged, lazy whiners. They curse, discuss drugs, talk back, argue for grades, complain about everything, fancy themselves entitled to whatever they desire, and are just generally annoying."
Looky what I found at Meijer over the weekend....

Grand Band Slam at the Arch Street Tavern on Sept. 24 -- with Sketch tha Cataclysm and more
Grand Band Slam
Grand Band Slam
Sketch tha Cataclysm, Remember September, Novus Dae, Forget Paris, Suzanne Vick, Little Ugly, Move Out West; all ages, $5, Sept. 24, 6 p.m.-11:30 p.m., Arch Street Tavern, 85 Arch St., Hartford; bring a nonperishable vegetarian food donation for reduced admission
For the first time, this year's Band Slam concert unites winners from all three Advocate Band Slams – Hartford, New Haven, and Fairfield Weekly — on the same stage. The evening spans an array of styles, including reggae, blissed-out jam rock, a singer-songwriter and hard rock. And if you bring a food donation for Hartford's Food Not Bombs, we'll even knock a little bit off of the (already cheap) $5 cover.
Waterbury's Sketch tha Cataclysm is the evening's wild card. He's a rapper, sure, but with a full band in tow, Sketch's approach to live showmanship is more typical of rock than of hip-hop.
"Some tracks sound better with chopped-up drums with a DJ playing it," says Sketch in a phone interview. But in Sketch's world, it's more important to push boundaries. "When it comes to recording, I'm not one of those people who has an idea of 'this is what hip-hop is.' When you start to put parameters on stuff, there's always gonna be things that challenge the parameters."
Sketch, who was also voted Fairfield's Best Hip-Hop act in 2008, is about to release his new album, Indie Rappers Do It For Gas Money 2, on the 27th of this month. When I previewed the disc, I noticed it was full of idiosyncratic beats. The instrumentation has almost no relationship to traditional hip-hop loops and breakbeats. "I'm a producer for most of my songs. So I've composed or written the songs in some way, shape, or form. When it comes to the band, I work on the arrangements with them and produce it for a live setting."
Because he was writing with his band in mind, the tracks on Gas Money 2 use specific instrumentation. "I wanted to have the kind of tracks that I could comfortably have my band playing without doing a lot of substitution of members. So I used a lot of traditional funk-band instrumentation." But it's not like the band settles into a never-ending funk groove. "On the first track," says Sketch, "it's a basic 4/4 time signature, but I put in handclaps in 12/8, which is a traditional flamenco time signature. I have to do that to keep it interesting for me.
Listeners will also notice pretty quickly that Sketch has a very particular flow. He tends to work with long chains of lightning-fast syllables. "I did a project a few years back, 'Party Music For Pissed Off People.' Most of that material was politically based, but the rhymes themselves focus on rhythm in particular. So if there's some place where you're not catching what I'm saying, you can still at least appreciate it aesthetically. On the current release, I put a little more space in my phrasing to allow people to take in what I'm saying."
I ask Sketch about an aspect of his new album's title. "Why do you use the term 'indie rap' as opposed to the more common 'underground rap'?"
"Everyone has their different definition of what underground is," he replies, "and I choose to not get into that argument. I'm indie as in independent, and it's clearly defined as that. Some people refer to underground acts backed by labels as still underground, and it gets hairy because some underground labels are distributed by major folks. But the gentleman that hops in a car with a laptop and performs in the middle of Des Moines, Iowa, or Sioux Falls, and then busks to sell CDs afterwards is truly independent."
The Lineup
The Lineup
I Anbassa
(Best Reggae Band — Fairfield Weekly)
This sprawling reggae group from Bridgeport plays roots reggae. Dig their Wailers-esque three-piece female harmonies and deep percussion section.
Little Ugly
(Best Rock Band — Hartford Advocate)
Newcomers Little Ugly sport a detailed sound that's carving out their name in the indie-rock scene. Their upright bass and keys give them a little more soul at a time when their peers are moving toward Americana.
Move Out West
(Runner-Up Best Band — Hartford Advocate)
"Boyish" is a good word to describe Hartford's Move Out West. They fuse a bright, poppy sound with punk elements. Also, you may have noticed that all four members are wicked cute. The show is all-ages, yo!
Remember September
(Best Indie-Rock Band — Fairfield Weekly)
They took Fairfield's Best Indie two years in a row, so it's time for Hartford to discover this rock quintet. Start with your basic pop band, and add in a saxophone and a dash of beachy, surfy jams.
Novus Dae
(Runner-Up Best Rock Band — Hartford Advocate)
This Hartford quartet writes big, fat, guitar-driven hard rock that would fit in comfortably on your typical WCCC playlist. Think chunky riffs and clean, melodic vocals. When they're not gigging, they're in the studio working on their new album.
Forget Paris
(Runner-Up Best Punk Band — Hartford Advocate)
Naugatuck's Forget Paris goes back and forth between tender songcraft and balls-out alt-rock. When they're catchy, they're really catchy, and when they lay it on heavy, well … remember to bend at the knees or you'll hurt your back.
Suzanne Vick
(Best Singer/Songwriter — New Haven Advocate)
She's no delicate flower — New Haven's Vick writes tunes that sound like folk rock on steroids. Bright and sunshiney, her music places her strong voice front and center.

I'm studying Electrical engineering at Gdańsk Institute of Technology, and I'm 21 years old.
I love anime since 2006 or something around. I think watching it is the best way to relax and forget all Your problems. Maybe it's just me, but i think all these comedy and ecchi animes are best for chill out. Of course i like other genres as well, but some of them aren't made for chill out. For example Higurashi series is one of the best i've ever watched, but it was so good and interesting, i was sitting on my chair and watching it ep by ep and being so excited. You all know what i mean! :)
I haven't read any manga yet, but i'm thinking to start some... but don't know what to start with ;]
I hope to meet some great people here, so don't be shy, just comment me :)
Waiting for some good propositions connected to my Want to Watch list.

Happy New Year to you too~!! ^.^
Hope you had a wonderful Xmas (lots of prezzies? XD)
Did you get a White Christmas? :)
Happy new year to you too!
I hope you had a lovely christmas too :)
Thanks, and likewise. =)
Howdy Pablo,
We have more than enough snow here, thank you! Had maybe 20cm fall over night, and there is a forecast for even more over the coming week. We were supposed to be going to visit family tomorrow, but I don't fancy the idea of trying to travel 250 miles in this current weather >.<
Hope you are keeping well :)
thanks i looked at the list but u should watch girlsbravo next its one of my top favorites use animefreak.com for it because the show is in english and not subs

Holiday Salad with Cranberry-Orange Vinaigrette
Yesterday, we had a potluck at work. Non-denominational for the holidays, there was an Italian theme. In addition, the organizer reminded us of some food restrictions in our department: nut allergies, no eggs, gluten-free and vegetarian.
My original plan was to bring the vegan cheese log, but figured the vegans would appreciate it more. Indeed, they loved it possibly more than me! Instead of bringing vegetables for the non-vegans, I shared a treat that did not even seem vegan: the very best chocolate truffles! Also, because it met all of the listed dietary restrictions! It is nut-free, egg-free, dairy-free as well as free of artificial sweeteners and flours. It is also (almost) raw. Not quite raw because I use non-raw cocoa powder. I think a few people were scratching their head wondering exactly what was in my truffles since I had such a long list of what was not in them. All yummy, though!
(Of note, I discovered the truffles are super soft after being at room temperature for 3 hours… and I think the best remedy for this would be coat them in a magic shell!!)
I am a bit behind on my potlucks, though. At our last work potluck, celebrating Thanksgiving, I did represent the veggies with this salad. We have made this holiday-inspired ruby red dressing a few times after Emma suggested it. It adds a gorgeous colour to your salad and the delicious sweet-tart cranberries in the dressing is balanced by orange juice and maple syrup.
Pictures here with lettuce, dried cranberries, pecans and pumpkin seeds, I find it pairs amazing with brown rice or curried chickpeas to make a complete meal. Apples and cucumbers make a nice contrast, too.
I asked Rob to take photos and he told me he wanted to highlight the pretty red dressing by drizzling it in fun patterns overtop the salad. It was a bit challenging with a spoon. He may have picked up on my hint that squeeze bottles would make a nice gift (and under $5!). In actuality, he told me we already had squeeze bottles: I just need to finish the agave nectar. Not too hard after I made 3 batches of the best truffles ever within the past week. ;)
Would you have gone with the salad or chocolate?? (Or both?)
This is my submission to Deb for this week's Souper Sundays and to this month's Feel Good Food challenge for cranberries.
Maple-Dijon Shredded Brussels Sprouts Salad with Pecans and Cranberries & Cookbook Giveaway!
While I prefer Brussels sprouts roasted, I also like them slipped into scrambles, skillets, stir fries, pastas, soups and salads. The last on my bucket list (I think) was to try them raw, shredded into a slaw.
Raw versus cooked. Talk about something new. Now the endearing term "little cabbage" comes to light. Shredded Brussels sprouts let their true Brassica family roots shine through, with a definite cabbage undertone. Here it is paired with a sweet maple Dijon mustard dressing with sweet dried cranberries and local Southern pecans for some crunch.
Not sure whether raw Brussels sprouts are for you? I am certain this would be delightful with roasted ones, as well. Sometimes, it is nice not to wait for your vegetables to roast or to try something different. Something a bit lighter in spite of its wintery feel.
This salad is courtesy of Raw & Simple, which I verily enjoyed (un)cooking through this summer, amid Houston's hot heat. Judita has written a cookbook with easy, tasty recipes without the fuss of complicated raw show-stoppers. Some delicacies are included, too, though. She incorporates a few non-raw ingredients like maple syrup, as evidenced by this recipe. I recommend her simple Raw Chunky Tomato Marinara with zucchini noodles, Calexico Salad, Five-Pepper Vegetable Chili, and still want to try her Southwest Corn Chowder, Healthy Mary (a spin off a Bloody Mary), Thai Veggie Noodles, Raw Meat and Cheese Pierogies and her Wild Blueberry Meyer Lemon Cheesecake.
A few typos aside, I really enjoy this cookbook and want to share it with you.Thankfully the publisher is letting me give a cookbook to one reader living in the United States, Canada or the United Kingdom (YES!). To be entered, please leave a comment here, telling me which recipe you'd like to try the most (or if you have a recipe from Judita that you recommend). Have a look through the table of contents of Raw & Simple on amazon (or my list below) or pick something from her blog and tell me what you want to cook the most. I will randomly select a winner on November 30, 2013. Good luck!

Kale Salad with a Raw Thousand Island Dressing
While we planned our trip to Burning Man half a year in advance, it wasn't until we bought our plane tickets that we decided to tack on a side trip to Portland and then roadtrip it down to the desert. Rob was worried that I wouldn't like the extreme nature of the camping we'd have to do in the desert, so we planned for success. How could we not enjoy Portland?
Turns out that each part of the trip was better than the next. After Portland, we drove East through the Columbia River Gorge, stopping at the Hydro Dam and Multnomah Falls. The path to the top of the falls may only be 1.25 miles long, but you are basically going up and up. Kind of like Mother Nature's Stairmaster. There was a 700ft elevation. It was a fun but tiring jaunt! If I lived in Portland, I could see this as a fun fitness bench marker (similar to the Grouse Grind in Vancouver, which I have yet to do). How fast can you climb the falls?
The following day, we skirted along the gorge, through the Hood River Fruit Loop and stopped to pick up local sweet peaches and huckleberries (it was my first time trying them – they are similar to a tart wild blueberry).
Our next stop was the Smith Rock State Park. Since it took us a good 3 hours to get here, it was too late to begin the Misery Ridge trail. Because of the heat and lack of shade, you should begin this early in the day. In any case, we didn't bring our hiking boots with us, so we had already planned to do smaller hikes and watch some of the mountain climbers.
Our next destination was the Newberry National Volcanic Monument. Billed as the best lava park between Iceland and Hawaii, we had fun walking around the volcanic crater and the lava field below. To be honest, I didn't even know there were volcanoes on the continental US. We didn't have enough time to explore the lava tubes, but we will definitely be back.
The next day, we scheduled a whole day for Crater Lake National Park. You can drive around the lake and stop off for lots of smaller hikes. We hiked up to a great lookout, again on another side, to see some hoodoos, and some waterfalls. It was nice to get a variety of vistas from each hike.
The trip through Oregon was fabulous. I highly recommend it.
But I know you are here for the food. You see, we stocked up a bit with food from Portland. I wasn't sure what lurked in the smaller towns. Turns out we lucked out in Bend, Oregon. We found a local brew pub (Rob's mission was to try out local brews) that served vegan eats. I changed the tempeh reuben sandwich into a salad and I was blown away. It was really good. I haven't had enough time to recreate the entire salad (now on my bucket list) but I started with making a raw thousand island dressing.
Originating from the Thousand Islands region (hola Ontario!), thousand island dressing is probably one of the most ubiquitous North American creamy sauces, as a mayonnaise dressing spiced with tomato/ketchup but may also have bits of pickle, olives, etc.
The creaminess of my raw version of dressing is from cashews. The deep tomato flavour comes from sun-dried tomatoes. Garlic and onion add further ripples, while the vinegar brightens the dressing. The acidic dill pickle brings this up a notch. The only trick is that the cashews need to be soaked a few hours for easier blending.
For my salad, I just used up the random vegetables in my fridge. I first wilted the kale with lemon juice and then tossed in cucumber, red pepper, olives and hemp seeds. I am not sure they were the perfect combination (and not the prettiest salad, either) but the dressing was perfect. Now I know where to start with my own tempeh reuben salad. :)
In any case, this vacation has spurred my love of Oregon. I am even more excited to try to schedule in Cycle Oregon next year!

Peach & Hazelnut Kale Salad with Maple Miso Vinaigrette
After so many people recommended Meetup a few weeks ago, I have really been making an effort to get out and meet new people and experience new things. I like the Houston meetups so far because they don't fill up so fast. I often tried to sign up for Toronto meetups but they would fill up before I knew whether I could commit to the event. Houston also has quite a variety of groups. Since there are so many groups, it has become interesting to see which of my "interests" has people with which I click the most.
My blog is mostly about healthy vegan food, so I picked a raw vegan potluck as my first foray into social gathering.
The meeting was tucked at the top of Central Market, with a pretty view of the colourful aisles of groceries. However, the most beautiful produce was upstairs, in our room. The spread of delicious food was incredible. Foodie heaven! Lots and lots of salads. Some were more simple and others more elaborate. A lot of classic raw dishes, too: raw zucchini spaghetti with marinara, raw walnut tacos, guacamole and lots of delicious raw crackers. Zucchini pesto roll-ups were unique (and very good). I honestly thought there would be more desserts, but the two that were there were incredible: raw peach cobbler and superfood nut butter cups (I recognized Sarah's recipe).
I had master plans to bring Genevieve's raw tropical jicama nachos but when I went to assemble the dish after work, my pineapple was not ripe enough and my peaches were screaming: eat me NOW! So, at the last minute, I ended up making this salad. It passed the taste-test with flying colours, and off I ran.
As we each introduced the meal we brought, I felt a bit sheepish because I ended up picking a dressing with maple syrup, which is technically not raw. This is not a problem for me, and I think most people still tried it because there wasn't much left by the end of the night. In any case, I thought it was delicious. I usually eat my kale salads with a citrus dressing, but the maple-miso dressing worked really well with the sweet peaches, earthy kale and crunchy hazelnuts. It would be perfect for picnics, too.
Have you ever been to Meetups in your city?
This is my submission to Deb for this week's Souper Sundays.
Hempy Peach Salad with a Creamy Balsamic Hummus Dressing
Going to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches… Millions of peaches, peaches for me. {sing along here}
I swear, I wasn't planning to share so many salads.
But to combat salad ennuis, I kept mixing up new dressings. I didn't think it would be so spectacular, but I loved it. And then snapped away some quickie photos for you to enjoy the sights of my salad, too.
Fresh, flavourful ingredients are important for a salad; but like pasta is to sauce, salad can be a vector for dressing.
A simple go-to dressing. With hummus on hand, this is so easy to put together. Hummus, balsamic and mustard. I always taste-test the dressing, but this one was hard to read. As I said, I didn't really think I'd like it; it seemed too tart. Drizzled next to the sweet peaches, though, it all balanced out.
And to finish off my meal? Carrots with the hummus that didn't make it into the dressing. ;)
This is my submission to Deb for this week's Souper Sundays and this month's No Croutons Required for seasonal.
Peach, Basil and Hemp Salad with a Citrus Vinaigrette
Give me leafy greens and I will make salad.
Give me fruit and I will eat it.
Give me a CSA share and I will become creative. Or lazy, your choice.
Same salad, different fruit and new herb. Still as delicious.
I added fresh basil as a unique flavour hidden amongst the greens.
And those hemp seeds? They are really growing on me. They are my new salad topping, including fruit salads. ;) I picked up a few of my pantry staples online, and decided to splurge on these hemp seeds since they were on sale.
I am used to a later peach season from Ontario (and they have finally arrived, too!), but local peaches were out in full force when we arrived in Texas. Sweet, juicy peaches. I have to remind myself that buying too many is often fool-hardy. Their peak ripeness has a short window. But once they are juicy: pounce. Peaches for breakfast, peaches as a snack and peaches for dinner. Peaches for a salad work so well because they make their own dressing, to boot. I still supplemented it with the nice citrus dressing from earlier in the week, though.
This is my submission to Deb for this week's Souper Sundays and this month's Cooking with Herbs. (more…)
Tomato-Basil Zucchini Noodle Salad
You don't know how good you had it until you leave.
Except I already knew how great Toronto was… Sure, it had its quirks but it has been my favourite city to live in.
This weekend, Rob and I watched a movie that epitomized why I adore Toronto, and then some. Take This Waltz unashamedly showcases the beauty of Toronto. The colourful palate of Parkdale, the quirkiness of Kensington Market (although, to be fair, I have never seen a picnic bench outside Essence of Life) and the touristy rickety rickshaws. Despite living in Toronto for 5 years, both of us discovered more fun things about Toronto. There is an indoor scrambler at Centreville, complete with dance music and lights. Even I think that sounds awesome!
Despite Hannah's latest ode to Toronto, complete with Kensington jenga and mung bean ice cream, my heart tugs only gently.
In the meantime, while I am accumulating more ideas for things to see and do when I return, I am focusing on where I am now. Because, you know what – Houston is pretty awesome, too! My time here will be short, so I better capitalize on these evenings which are a balmy 25C. Perfect when relaxing/napping on a hilltop while next to an outdoor Shakespeare performance.
And that mung bean ice cream? I bet it can't compare to Ripe's (vegan, homemade) coconut-almond peanut butter ice cream with chocolate chips and date caramel. (SOOO good!)
Anyways, it is salad week. Here is a simple zucchini noodle salad with a bruschetta-like topping with tomatoes, basil and garlic. Late summer in a bowl. A salad in another form, without leafy greens, but with long zucchini noodles. The next time I made this, I added chopped almonds for a bit more crunch. Delicious!
This is my submission to this month's Bookmarked Recipes.
Strawberry & Avocado Salad with a Citrus Vinaigrette
I was hoping Rawfully Organic was going to provide me with local produce. I know they try when it is possible. Rob and I had been pining a few local treats before we even arrived. The first one: avocado. Avocados are quite expensive in Canada, but upon our first week here we were greeted with a warm welcome. Avocados: 4 for $1.
The nice thing about my Rawfully Organic share was that I wasn't saddled with uncommon ingredients. With so many greens, I knew salads were in order, though. Luck would have it that I was tempted by Gena's berry and avocado salad at the same time. Coincidentally, I had all the ingredients and then some. I tried it her way, with hemp seeds, then with almonds and when I finally got around to photographing it, I used pumpkin seeds. I used sweet strawberries, paired with creamy avocado and a sweet citrus dressing. Since the oranges we got in our share were "juicing oranges" (Valencia, aka sweet Texan oranges!!), I figured a dressing was a good way to capitalize on their sweet juiciness. Since, yes, I left my juicer at home. No homemade juice on the horizon yet. It may seem fiddly to also add lemon juice, but it balanced the dressing nicely.
Any nut or seed would work for crunch – as I said, I have made this with almonds, hemp and the pumpkin seeds (a mix of almond and hemp was my favourite). Any berry would work well here. Pick your favourite.
With all these salads that I have been making, I am kind of sad I left my big plates and big bowls in Canada. I want more greens but don't have a serving plate big enough!

Mango Curry Chickpea Salad Wraps
My parents, truly awesome souls, helped us pack in Toronto before our move. Rob and I (mostly Rob) had tucked our possessions into three categories: 1) perma-storage destined for my brother's basement; 2) Texas-bound or 3) with us on our roadtrip. Granted, the kitchen was the last thing to be packed, especially since I was still using it. As our last weekend in Toronto continued, we had packed nearly everything from the kitchen. The cube was nearly full and we had successfully loaded all four of our bikes. (Initially, we were concerned they wouldn't all fit)
I had one kitchen drawer left. We had to decide what to do with my spices. I have a
fewlot. My master plan was to bring my little jars down with me and replenish as needed once I arrived. I had already imposed a no spice replenish ban while in Toronto so I was due for more. For my less used spices, I figured I would simply use what I had left in my jar.
Instead, my Mom suggested I go on a spice holiday. WHAT? No spices for a year?! Even I have my limits. Spices are what make my food taste good! I was given one bag to fill. All my little jars came with me. Even the empty ones.
Now that the dust has settled, I pounced on these chickpea salad wraps. Sweetened with fresh mango, spiced with ginger and garam masala with a touch of cilantro. Sweet, spicy and tart – a great trio. Mash them up and then wrap it in a lettuce wrap for an easy meal. I was worried I would have needed to add citrus juice, but this wasn't dry in the slightest. It probably depends on your mango, so your results may vary.
Can you tell I have become more simple in my kitchen? Something about the hot weather makes me more lazy at home. :P

Tofu-Avocado Salad with Arepas
Thank you so much for the kind words from my last post. New friendships take a while to develop, at least for me. I am definitely keeping my chin up… and moving forward. Or perhaps trying just to enjoy what is. It really was a stressful whirlwind last year and it might be nice to embrace the emptiness. Thank you, Anna, for pointing me to this lovely video.
One thing is for certain: I couldn't do this without Rob. I could not imagine doing this year apart.
Since Rob works from home, and I labour in the hospital, it is funny how the roles have reversed slightly. I swear, Rob has been more adventurist in the kitchen than me. Rob is cooking up a storm, while I am relishing in my quickie salads, hehe.
And the best part? If we time it just right, I can come home to freshly cooked food. Some foods are just not meant to be eaten as leftovers, which is why they are such a treat.
Case in point: arepas. The moist and fluffy arepas with a crispy shell only happen when you make them fresh. We long learned not to make leftovers since they are very lacklustre. They are one of Rob's specialties, although previously reserved for the weekend when we have more time for food prep.
They seem to fit with most any dish, at least in our fusion household. We like to make it with tofu scramble, but this time Rob went all out with the bean-quinoa chorizo crumbles from The Great Vegan Bean Book. I found them a bit spicy, so I threw together a spin on vegan egg salad: tofu-avocado salad. The avocado, tahini and Dijon make for a creamy dressing while chunky avocado and tofu are surprisingly reminiscent of eggs. The dill adds a nice spin, too. I used dried but I think fresh would be best.
This is my submission to this month's Bookmarked Recipes and to Deb for this week's Souper Sundays. (more…)
Easy Cheezy Chickpea Salad (& How I Am Stocking My Pantry)
When I chat with friends from home, I field many similar questions. Have you finished unpacking? YES!!!! How am I finding the heat and humidity? Not that bad… Is Houston friendly for cyclists? My route to work is actually pretty devoid of cars, so I can't complain. How is the food… and the veggie selection? One of my friend was interested in how I triaged the stocking of my fridge and pantry. What did I buy first? What were my perishable and non-perishable necessities?
Since we were without a kitchen for almost a week when we arrived, I continued with my travel-friendly eats: overnight oats with chia seeds and protein powder for breakfast, hummus with carrots and crackers for lunch and snack, and easy eats for dinner once I made my first grocery run. We hit up the closest grocers (Trader Joe's, Whole Foods and Fiesta Mart) to scope out our new neighbourhood and begin our pantry. See below for what I commonly keep in my kitchen.
After the Zesty Lemon Cilantro Chickpea Salad, this was the next salad I made. This salad is almost too simple. Only four ingredients, or five if you include salt or pepper. Chickpeas, lemon juice, nutritional yeast and leafy greens. Definitely more than the sum of its parts. The lemon juice is tart and the nutritional yeast tames it into a creamy dressing. Marinade the chickpeas and use the extra sauce to toss with your favourite leafy greens. This is also a good travel-friendly meal if you stash nutritional yeast in your bag, of course, along with a knife to cut the lemon. Don't we all travel this way? HAHA! :)
Without further ado, this is my culled pantry list:
Produce: apples, bananas (for Rob), carrots, lemons/limes, green onion, onions, garlic, ginger (cilantro is a common staple, depending on my menu)
Bonus: tofu and tempeh.
Leafy greens if salads are on the menu
canned beans (chickpeas, black beans, kidney beans)
dried beans (chickpeas, black beans, lentils (red, green))
Oats (rolled oats and steel cut oats)
Brown short-grain rice
Chickpea flour (for Rob to make chilla)
Masarepa (for Rob to make arepas)
Chia seeds
Flax seeds
Sesame seeds
Balsamic vinegar
Apple cider vinegar
Rice vinegar
Extra-virgin olive oil, for salads
Coconut oil, for cooking
Toasted sesame oil
Raw cashews
Nut butter (peanut butter is Rob's favourite)
Canned/other foods:
Bragg's liquid aminos or low-sodium tamari
Nutritional yeast
Mustard (preferably Dijon)
Sweet chili sauce (for Rob)
Sriracha (for Rob)
Tamarind concentrate
Dried fruit (dates, raisins, coconut, cranberries)
Sun-dried tomatoes
Canned tomatoes (I usually only get whole tomatoes and less commonly crushed)
Tomato paste
Nondairy milk
Coconut milk
Agave or maple syrup
Tea/tisanes (coffee for Rob)
Baking soda (also for cleaning)
Protein powder
Herbs and spices (at least):
Cinnamon (sticks and ground)
Cardamom pods (green)
Aleppo chili flakes
Smoked paprika
Thyme (I don't use this that often)
Basil (I don't use this that often)
Bay leaves
+ all the ingredients for my veg stock powder (parsley, dill, garlic granules, onion granules, etc)
I have had a much larger pantry in the past but I am trying to keep things limited to what I will consume in a year. What are things that I have missed that you cannot live without?
This is my submission to Deb for this week's Souper Sundays.
Zesty Lemon Cilantro Chickpea Salad
I thought I had adequately prepared for a few days without a kitchen. I packed a paring knife, cutting board, can opener, garlic press and lemon press with me during our road trip. No pots meant I couldn't cook up quinoa. No cups meant I couldn't even boil water for tea. Never mind anything more fancy that needed a skillet. Basically, it meant I could make salads.
This isn't a boring salad, though. In between unpacking and snacking on hummus, I made this delicious chickpea salad when we first arrived in Texas. Of course, after I stocked up the fridge. Super simple: mix and marinate. It looks uninspiring but it was a nice balance between the tart lemon, fresh cilantro and sharp garlic. Lemon zest? Well, without my zester, I shaved off the lemon peel and chopped it with a knife instead. However, the zest in this salad is from the garlic, not the lemon zest. The garlic was stronger when I originally made it, but it tamed itself for leftovers, which made it perfect for lunch. It was also delicious overtop mixed greens for a more green salad.
This is my submission to Deb for this week's Souper Sundays and Virtual Vegan Linky Potluck.
Morrocan Carrot and Chickpea Salad
Living in Toronto, my kitchen accumulated a lot of stuff. Gadgets, ingredients, Mason jars, you name it. All for the best, though, allowing me to explore new favourites.
Thus, when we moved to Houston, we pared down our kitchen, minimalist-style. Minimalist, in comparison, because I am not willing to compromise in the kitchen, either. Do I need 5 different whole grains all the time? No. I will repopulate my kitchen with my favourites. Quinoa, brown rice and oats. Beans? Right now, I have been mainly munching on canned beans (we don't have containers/bags to freeze beans yet and time has been a bit sparse). OK, I will still have many beans (don't forget, I can order from Rancho Gordo directly!) but my collection will not as big as my last.
I still don't feel deprived in the slightest. There are constant permutations and combinations to try out. The recipe may look the same, but a change in spice can make all the difference.
While still in Toronto, I was had a cook-date with a friend after work. I suggested making Heidi's Moroccan chickpea and carrot salad. No cooking required, it was filled with my typical pantry staples. However, not everyone always has a lemon on hand, grows mint in their backyard (I don't have that anymore), stocks prunes (um, yeah, not me either) or has a spice grinder. So we made do with what she had. Lime instead of lemon, cilantro instead of mint, dates instead of prunes and we kept the cumin seeds intact.
It may just be a label, but I wondered whether these changes would make this salad less Moroccan. Dates, cumin and carrots are very common in Moroccan cooking. However, I typically ascribe cilantro to Indian and southeast Asian cuisine. Turns out, cilantro is pervasive in Moroccan cuisine as well. Moroccan, with a twist, perhaps. With the mix of sweet dates, earthy cumin, tart lime, bright cilantro and crunchy carrots, it was very good.
It should not come as a shock, since it is very similar to my beloved Curried Chickpea Salad with Carrots and Currants with a smattering from my Moroccan Carrot Salad. Next time, though, I think I will try the original recipe. A tasty variation on a similar theme.
This is my submission to Deb for this week's Souper Sundays, to this month's No Croutons Required for legume salads and to this month's Bookmarked Recipes. (more…)
Avocado and Sauerkraut Salad with a Creamy Miso-Ginger Dressing
And we're off!
Rob and I packed up all our things and are currently en route, road trip-style, to Houston. I have a few travel-themed recipes this week, as we drive across the country (down the country would be more accurate). 3000 km (over 1800mi). We have a lot of ground to cover.
I made a few travel snacks to bring with me (will be sharing throughout the next few weeks), and while I have tracked down a vegan restaurant in each city for dinner, I plan on eating simple meals throughout the day.
I brainstormed before I left. What can I easily find at grocery stores? What would pack well? For some reason, I kept returning to salads with avocado and lemon. Easy, peasy. Throw in some nuts/seeds, cooked beans or tofu as an easy protein. And then I decided sauerkraut would be a wonderful addition, too.
Not wanting to simplify my meals too soon, I knew I didn't want to wait to try out an avocado and sauerkraut salad. With my current kitchen a few weeks ago, I had the liberty of making a more complex salad dressing, so I ran with it. A creamy miso dressing with a zip from ginger and the tang from apple cider vinegar. That creaminess? Not nuts: nutritional yeast. I imagine avocado would be nice pureed into the dressing as well, but I left it in chunks for the salad. Paired with the salty sauerkraut and crunchy sunflower seeds, this was delicious.
What are your favourite easy travel-friendly meals?
This is my submission to Deb for this week's Souper Sundays and to this week's Raw Food Thursdays.
Chickpea and Apricot Salad with a Pineapple-Ginger-Cilantro Dressing
Announcement time!
(No, nothing on the relationship front..)
While I modestly shared the news of passing the.most.important.exam.of.my.life, I figure you guys may be more excited about this news: my photos are in a cookbook! In Tess' newest cookbook, no less. I am not sure what was more exciting: new Tess recipes or being a published foodie photographer? :) (I choose the former, actually)
In Tess' latest cookbook, Get Waisted, she has teamed up with Dr. Mary Clifton, to create 100 delicious, healthy recipes. She has included healthy modifications to older recipes and all-new favourites. Bean and rice coconut banana curry, Black bean and rice bowl with mango salsa, Japanese ume rice, Lemon lover's red lentil spinach soup, Mexican polenta bowl, Pasta caulifredo, Rosemary polenta with mushrooms, Samosa wrap with cilantro chutney, Spicy Indian chickpea fritters.. ok, ok, I will stop the temptation. You can find all of the recipes on Vegansprout if you are curious. :) Suffice it to say, the recipes are creative and drool-worthy. And I photographed a handful of them.
One of the recipes Tess included is one of my favourites from her first book: Black Bean, Cilantro and Apricot Salad. I routinely make it, changing ingredients, matching what I have in my kitchen.
This time, I swapped the black beans for chickpeas; the mango juice for pineapple juice; swapped the corn for more carrots and scrapped the spinach altogether. Combined with the sweet dried apricots and cilantro-ginger spiked dressing, you have a delicious summer bean salad. Sweet, salty, spicy, crunchy.. It is really hard to mess it up.
The photos in the cookbook are true to the recipe, thus you won't see this in there. Trust me, I tried. Tess, I just made your salad with pecans instead of walnuts.. can't you just change your recipe?…. NO GO FROM TESS! You will see this salad, in its many incarnations this summer, though. Perfect for potlucks and summer gatherings. Especially if Houston's weather is as hot and humid as I fear. Last I checked, there were highs of 35C, feels like 45C with a 50% humidity. This is no heat wave. This.Is.Houston. It will soon become my new reality. GAH! I am sweating just thinking about it. I may not be turning on my oven or stove very often, methinks. ;)
Have you tried any of Tess' recipes yet? This cookbook would be a great place to start. You can buy it directly from Tess here (discounts if you buy more than one cookbook) or on Amazon (kindle and hard copy).

Re: Teacher OKs "Avoid[ing] touching females on religious grounds"

Dear Seiser Sensei,
While I accept that freedom of speech /expression is a good concept, I cannot always accept this concept fully.The reasons are simple, such freedom of speech can be and is dangerous.Would you be happy if people expressed views ,whether right wing/left wing/religious views etc which clearly could be dangerous ?
Dangerous to who?
Certainly I do not agree, but they don't agree with me either. They would (and do) say that our freedom of thought, belief, and expression is dangerous to them. Am I to agree with them? Do we quiet every voice of opposition? That would only show the weakness of our belief and character. If your position/resolve cannot stand a little opposition, then its pretty fragile. As long as I don't take it personally, the talk is about them, not me. I am strong enough in my beliefs not to take it as a threat.
Of course, If they tried to act on it, I may just have to put them down. LOL

i think this is similar to clinique pore minimizer instant perfector (texture and all), except instant perfector also works as a shine control, this one doesn't. it is, however, still a very good silicone-based primer and does exactly what it's supposed to do, which is to create a smooth canvas before applying a foundation.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really like this product. I have never really been picky with primers, I use three others apart from this one and they all work really well for me. This one does indeed smooth the face instantly making foundation application a breeze and my face pretty darn flawless. I am not a huge fan of the packaging as I don't like creamy or liquidy things to be in pots. I still gave it 5 lippies cos the quality of the product easily gets me over my packaging pickyness. I said i'd repurchase this because of how well it does work but I do also like mac's prime & protect and smashbox photo finish that I might not need to get this one in the future.

I love this product - makes my skin smooth/great primer before foundation. Doesn't break me out at all; doesn't feel oily at all :)

I like this stuff, but not every day because of the 'cones. It does a great job filling in my enlarged pores and my fine lines, and it even mattifies my t zone. I use it when I want a little something extra to my look without caking on lots of makeup.
However, the silicones are kindy slimy on hot or humid days so this isn't an everyday item for me. Still I am glad to have it in my stash and it does what I want it to do.
I wish it came in a tube, say with a large opening like 8 hour cream. I always have to resist the urge to scrape off a layer of this from the pot every time I use it.

I think this does a pretty good job filling in fine lines and enlarge pores. It didn't fill in deep wrinkles (I tried it on a scar!). I also felt! It was too oily for were I wanted to use it-my t-zone. I gave it to my grandmother, and she said it felt like she had on a funeral parlor face, lol. She is definately not oily!

This is my HG primer! It definitely lives up to it's name and then some. Before I found this primer my foundation would sit in my pores like a hot mess. But this primer really does fill in the pores (without causing breakouts) and gives my skin a smooth velvety finish. I also like that this primer doesn't dry out my skin nor leave it greasy. It is a bit pricey but it is so worth it to me. I will never another day without using this little treasure!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I actually like this product more than Smashbox's Photo Finish. This product is slightly thicker than photo finish. It actually covered up the ugly pores on my nose, hallelujah. I don't really know how this product works, supposedly it is a primer that works with light to smooth your skin out so it doesn't clog pores? I don't know, but this sufff works. It's a little on the expensive side, but I've been using it for a couple of months now and still has half left.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is the best primer on the market hands down. It gives great coverage, smooths out the skin so well so quickly--and you only need so little to cover the entire face. Gives nice matte finish, which I like. I love the fine, very light, and sort of creamy texture of this primer--yet it never be sticky. This primer seems to moisturize my skin, never gives that uncomfortable drying feeling. With this I only need the very little amount of foundation. AND more importantly, this primer never irritates my very sensitive skin (I am allergic to so many cosmetic products). I will definitely re-purchase this product. Highly recommended! This is Clarin's best selling product.

Wow I am impressed with this product and have only been using for a week. I have an oily t-zone, SD and am acne prone so in theory, this product should not be so perfect for me but it is!!
One thing to note is that this will NOT mattify your skin. So oily-skinned gals like myself need to address this before applying the primer. I do this by wearing a great physical sunblock (I like Japanese ones such as Shiseido SPF55 lotion, Kanebo Allie or Mentholatum Sunplay UV Moisture Milk).
So after applying my sunscreen and letting it dry, I apply the teensiest amount of this primer to my t-zone. It sets pretty quickly so I don't wait long before applying my mineral makeup (Everyday Minerals Semi Matte). Without primer, I was getting about 4-5 hours of wear from my MMU before it would dissolve into ugly, greasy patches. Those days are gone. I am now getting a full day out of my MMU! I blot once in the middle of the day and that's it. For me, this is pretty miraculous!
My only complaint is that it doesn't quite conceal my nose pores but mine are pretty darn big - I can deal. Some might also not like the jar packaging but Clarins gives you a cute little spatula to use - so again, I can deal. The jar is generously sized - I can see this is going to last a long time because you use so little per application, therefore price is not much of a problem either. All in all, this is a fantastic primer.
EDIT 28 Dec 08: I've been using this pretty much daily and I have recently noticed some clogged pores appearing on my forehead. I suspect it is the cones in this product that is causing the problem. I will not be changing my rating of this product because it is great and does what it claims to do. But do proceed with caution! I may unfortunately need to stop using this for a while.
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This contains acacia micro-pearls which are like tiny sponges that use the natural moisture of the skin to expand and fill in lines/pores making the skin's surface smoother in appearance and feel. Use a light hand when applying this product. Customers that tell me it feels heavy, their makeup slides off, or they experience clogged pores are 95% of the time putting on too thick of a layer. (The other 5% just have very sensitive skin which reacts to everything.) Start with a small dab about the size of a No.2 pencil eraser, and tap/press it onto (don't spread) areas of the face that have fine lines or visible pores. For myself, I use this only around the eyes, nose, and cheeks when using powder or cream foundation. When using liquid foundation, I'll pre-mix the small dab of instant smooth into a nickel-sized amount of the liquid foundation. It makes the foundation go on smoother and also prevent streaking or fading by midday. I do wish that the packaging could be more sanitary...but I like that this comes with a small spatula so I don't have to be dipping my fingers into the jar each time.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Dozer!
Facts about Dozer
- Breed: Alaskan Malamute
- Color: Gray/Silver/Salt & Pepper - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
- ID#: Dozer AZ
Dozer's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, not good with kids, not good with dogs, and good with cats.
Dozer is a neutered, 5 yr old male in need of a home by the end of the year. Dozer isn't comfortable around small children and there is a baby coming. He doesn't care for male dogs, but is good with female dogs and cats. He adores big people and loves to romp, play and swim. Dozer enjoys being active. He doesn't care for stormy weather.
Other Pets at Alaskan Malamute Rescue of Arizona
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Dozer, a Phoenix/Tucson Alaskan Malamute dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Alaskan Malamute for sale in Phoenix/Tucson, or seeking a Alaskan Malamute dog from a breeder in Phoenix/Tucson.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix/Tucson already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Phoenix/Tucson breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Alaskan Malamute breeders who help with Alaskan Malamute rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix/Tucson paves the way for another one to be saved.

Two homies, Smokey &Craig, smoke up a dope dealer's weed and try to figure a way to get the $200 they owe the dope dealer by 10:00pm that night. In that time they smoke weed, get jacked, and they get shot at in a drive-by.
Having just been canned from his job on his day off, Craig and his best friend Smokey spend the day smoking up in their South Central neighborhood while dealing with a neighborhood bully, relationship troubles, an angry drug dealer, and a lot of other odd characters

Lady Gaga is promoting a new line of condoms, and of course, there's a fashion tie-in.
The singer has associated her name with a set of profilactics designed by Jeremy Scott. They will be released by the Proper Attire condom company, and made available in neon green, orange and pink animal print colours, with studded, sheer and ribbed textures.
The condoms were first seen in goodie bags distributed at Scott's Fall 2010 show at New York Fashion Week. All proceeds will benefit Planned Parenthood.
Gaga is quoted in the collaboration's press release as saying, "It's not complicated, just a fashion statement. Everybody wrap it up with Jeremy Scott for Proper Attire condoms." Hold on, this is getting way too complicated for us, Gaga!
Very nice that Gaga is supporting safe sex. However, if you find yourself in bed with her, that might be the least of your worries. I mean, the woman wears a bra that shoots sparks!

This isn't going to be a very long blog, as my time is limited. Getting ready to go walking in a bit. However I was looking through some pictures I took with my logitech and am amazed at the progress I made in the past 2 months.
The first picture was taken July 14, 2011. This is a side view, but it's from the side that I can see the progress.
The second picture was taken August 22nd. This is a front view though.
The next two pictures were taken of me today.
I need to keep looking at these photos whenever I start to feel discouraged.
Sorry for the short blog entry, but wanted to share.
I'm in my 3rd night of not having any snacks. Well I've been sipping 8 ounces of low sodium V8 at the time I usually feel like grabbing some chips and then brushing and flossing my teeth afterward so I don't eat anymore. I'm finding that this is helping tremendously. Guess if I run out of V8 before I get paid I'll just have a hot cup of herbal tea instead.
I'm going into my 3rd week of not using table salt. Because of my joints, I'm restricted to no more than 1500 mg a day. I'm not always successful, and have, for the past couple of days had 1600 to 1700 mg of sodium a day, but it's a lot better than 2700 to 3500 mg of sodium I was consuming a month ago. I still don't have a lot of money as I won't get my first pay for my job til the 4th of October, so I'm making due with what my Mom has around the house. I've been eating a lot of dried beans and wild rice lately and cut way back on my meat. I've also dropped 3 pounds this week from the reduction in my sodium. Never realized before how sweet tomatoes were.
Another thing that I'm doing is trying to eliminate sugar and sweeteners from my food. I'm down to 1/2 teaspoon of sugar in my tea. I personally feel that if I'm going to use my calories and WW points, and spend my money on food, I'd rather use it on real food and not sugar. It's suprizing how much I'm beginning to really taste my food now. It's like when I quit smoking 5 years ago how food tasted so much better.
I know I can do this. If I quit smoking and was also able to give up all soda, alchohol and caffeine (mainly for health reasons) then I know I can do this.
I also have to put in a plug for Kelly Howell and her brainsync programs. I may have eventually got around to wanting a healthier lifestyle, but it was through listening to her Secrets of the Universal Mind Meditation I every night that prompted me to start living a healthier life. I still listen to that CD along with her many other products; Weight Loss Acceleration; Walking Meditation; Breakthrough Training in the Zone and her Kundalini Awakening and other such CD's for a more balanced life.
It may have taken me 3 years to lose 33 lbs but it's staying off and not coming back on, even if I do fall off the wagon for a bit. I'm just now learning how to work with my body instead of fighting it.
I do real good with my eating throughout the day. I faithfully track every BLT (bite, lick and taste) both on the Weight Watchers etools and on here, I drink 90 ounces of water because I'm usually doing 30 to 45 minutes of moderate activity per day and eating 3 meals and my 2 snacks ; one mid morning and one mid afternoon. I try to finish up eating supper at 5:30 pm because any later than that and I'm awake all night long. I have to finish my last meal at least 5 to 7 hours before bedtime as I suffer terribly from insomnia. Also if I eat supper past 5:30 pm I have a hard time eating breakfast the following morning. I don't like to eat snacks at night time because of the same reason as not eating my meals past 5:30 pm but also because of my acid reflux. Also it's a bad habit I want to get out of. Yet at 8:00 pm I go on an uncontrollable binge that sabotages my entire day's hard work of exercise and healthy eating. I have asked family and friends what to do and all they tell me is to eat. I even posted on Facebook and they said eat. I wonder if they even read my entire question.
What I'm trying to figure out is if I'm missing something; like fiber or carbs or something from my dinner that is causing this 8:00 PM snacking. If so, then I'm hurting myself and would like to know what I'm doing wrong instead of getting the answer of "drink a milkshake". Drinking a milkshake at 8:00 pm is still snacking which is what I want to stop doing.
Oh and I am allergic to medicines so taking pills or something isn't the answer. Sorry for the vent, I'm just looking for ideas to stop the snacking at nights (whether it's something I'm lacking in my food or just habit) and get a little tired of people telling me snack at night anyway.
As someone who likes to write I find it difficult to do this. Suppose it's because I'm not quite sure what I'm doing on here though. I'm doing a challenge to beat stress in my life. There are several things that cause me stress. One of them is that my computer is not very good and then to make it worse I get an extremely limited pension and am in financial debt at the moment. It slows down on me on most days and takes forever to load. Usually this occurs when I'm trying to track my weight, food or activity, and then I find myself getting upset over this. I know I shouldn't but I do. Hopefully I can learn to let go of these little things to cause me to stress out. Maybe someone here can give me ideas for in cases like this. I look forward to hearing your suggestions.

Wedding proposed via engraved iPad 2
We think this might be cheating a little bit, but we'll let you decide: 9to5Mac reader Jordan C. wrote in to say that he's proposed to his girlfriend courtesy of a custom-engraved iPad. He ordered one with "Will you marry me?" engraved on it, and when it showed up last Monday, he carted his girlfriend out (in the California rain we had last week, no less) to the Redwood Forests and knelt down to propose to her with Apple's magical device underneath "the largest tree in the world."
Very cute story, and congrats to the happy couple. But Jordan's now-fiance Jessica was reportedly a little more excited for the tablet than the nuptials; she followed up her "yes" with a "Now give me my iPad!" Oh, Jordan. You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into, buddy. Above is a picture of the bride to be, with her true love presumably standing just off camera. But then again, she sure does seem to love that iPad, right?

Chloride - urine test
Chloride - urine
Chloride is a negatively charged molecule known as an electrolyte. It works with other electrolytes, such as potassium, salt (sodium), and carbon dioxide (CO2), to help keep the proper balance of body fluids and maintain the body's acid-base balance.
A test can be done to measure the amount of chloride in a urine sample.
See also:
Alternative Names
Urinary chloride
How the test is performed
A random urine sample or 24-hour urine collection may be needed.
If a 24-hour urine sample is needed:
- On day 1, urinate into the toilet when you get up in the morning.
- Afterwards, collect all urine in a special container for the next 24 hours.
- On day 2, urinate into the container when you get up in the morning.
- Cap the container. Keep it in the refrigerator or a cool place during the collection period.
- Label the container with your name, the date, the time of completion, and return it as instructed.
For an infant, thoroughly wash the area around the urethra. Open a urine collection bag (a plastic bag with an adhesive paper on one end), and place it on the infant. For males, place the entire penis in the bag and attach the adhesive to the skin. For females, place the bag over the labia. Diaper as usual over the secured bag.
This procedure may take a couple of attempts -- lively infants can move the bag, causing the urine to be absorbed by the diaper. Check the infant frequently and change the bag after the infant has urinated into it. Drain the urine from the bag into the container provided by your health care provider.
Deliver it to the laboratory or your health care provider as soon as possible upon completion.
How to prepare for the test
The health care provider will instruct you, if necessary, to discontinue drugs that may interfere with the test.
Drugs that may decrease the level of chloride in the urine chloride include:
- Acetazolamide
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
Drugs that may increase the level of chloride in the urine chloride include:
- Corticosteroids
- Diuretics
How the test will feel
The test involves only normal urination, and there is no discomfort.
Why the test is performed
Your doctor may order this test if you have signs of a disturbance in your body's fluid level or acid-base balance. It may be used to help determine the causes of hypokalemia, and to aid in the diagnosis of renal tubular acidosis.
Normal Values
The normal range is 110 to 250 milliequivalents per day (mEq/day). This range depends greatly on the amount of salt and fluid you consume.
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What abnormal results mean
Increased urine chloride levels may be caused by:
- Adrenocortical insufficiency
- Increased salt intake
- Inflammation of the kidney that results in salt loss (salt wasting nephropathy)
- Production of an unusually large amount of urine (polyuria)
Decreased urine chloride levels may be due to:
- Cushing syndrome
- Decreased salt intake
- Fluid loss that occurs with diarrhea, vomiting, sweating, and gastric suction
- Salt retention

Officers were called to the Tom's Store on East Main Street in Dallastown on Tuesday morning. The clerk told police he was alone and was opening the store when four unknown men entered wearing masks and hoodies. The clerk said one of the suspects went into a back room and the other three suspects approached the counter and demanded cash. The clerk also told police one of the suspects had his hand inside his pocket, gesturing that he was armed.
During the investigation, police determined there was no robbery. Raffensberger allegedly had taken the money himself and falsely reported the robbery to police.
Police say Raffensberger admitted to the false report and was charged with theft and false reports to law enforcement.

Tensions rose again in Zuccotti Park Wednesday between Occupy Wall Street protesters and police.
At least two demonstrators have been arrested for disorderly conduct and trespassing.
More than 100 protesters re-occupied the park.
About 60 of them marched 99 miles from Philadelphia, symbolizing the plight of the so-called 99 percent.
Returning to the park was a reunion of sorts.
Occupiers said they want people to know they're still around and so are the economic problems.
"Standing in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street takes a stand against all the corporate bankers messing up the whole country," said one.
"I'd like to be able to actually walk from Philadelphia to New York and bring issues to people, have them ask me a question and that was I can actually give them an honest answer," said another.
Protesters stayed in the park for about two months in the fall before Mayor Bloomberg ordered them to be evicted.
