From restaurant website: "Upon his arrival to Vancouver it was no surprise not only that Michel would open his own fine dining French restaurant but, that he would also name it after the finest restaurant he had ever seen and dined at in his hometown of Strasbourg...the 3 star Michlelin restaurant - Au Crocodile. Chef/owner Emile Jung had instilled a level of quality and service that Michel had to duplicate for himself and Vancouverites alike. Michel's main goal was to open a restaurant that could match and achieve the level of culinary standards and service that are still present today at Au Crocodile. Twenty-two years have passed and it is safe to say that Michel has surpassed all expectations. Vancourites are pleased he Michel followed his dream."
I haven't been here in so many years that I almost forgot about it.
Incidentally, I've come here twice for lunch in the past two weeks and it was amazing both times. The place isn't exactly modern, but the old world look is actually quite refreshing when most restaurants are "mod" these days
Servers are attentive even when they're busy. The salad with truffle oil vinaigrette had good truffle flavours without being too overwhelming. My sablefish with tempura prawns was cooked perfectly and a generous portion - the accompanying pasta and prawns were excellent as well. The scallops with black linguine and basil sauce are also really tasty and very generous for the price. The amuse bouche are delicious.
Can't wait to go back for dinner...
The service at Le Crocodile is outstanding - professional, charming, and not overtly snobby. I loved starting dinner with a perfect Manhatten poured at the table.
My sweetbreads were perfect - crispy and nicely seasoned, and my duck main course was cooked exactly as I had requested.
Foie gras starters were flawless, and my dinner companions both agreed that their Halibut and Bass were expertly cooked.
Total professionalism from start to finish!
This is absolutely my favourite restaurant in Vancouver. The food is of the highest quality and the service is fantastic. My favourite dish is the Halibut with a vanilla saffron sauce and lobster tempura. Delicious and perfectly made. I've also had lovely appetizers including the softshell crab and a rich, flavourful tomato soup. The desserts just light my eyes up - the grand marnier souffle is a showstopper and the profiteroles drowned in dark belgian chocolate is just divine. I think their attention to detail and quality is what makes them stand out. I love also how they have beautiful fresh flowers on every table and the service is so polite and just right with the balance between attentive/intrusive. For such a fine dining establishment, it is not pretentious at all, reasonably priced, and the wait staff are completely warm and welcoming. It's not a trendy, modern, or overly creative place, but I love the traditionally great french food and quality service - simplicity is beauty! You can also get a sense that the chefs/creators of the food are very experienced and know what la creme de la creme. If you love great food, you will not be disappointed!
A cozy, understated dining room with gigantic fresh floral arrangements.
The restaurant gave us a good table given that I had reserved a table two weeks in advance and noted it was a special evening. Fabulous friendly service from our waiter without being intrusive and appropriately asked how our food was after observing I had my first bite. Another waiter attended to us when the entrees were ready and our original server was busy at another table. This was a good move so that we were able to have our food as fresh as possible. They are also good with requests, service with a smile, when I swapped to a soufflé instead of a preordered crème brulée.
Our foie gras appetizer was seared perfectly, crispy on the outside and still very juicy on the inside. The crab cake was also well executed with a tasty spinach aioli. We had the slow-braised lamb shanks and slow indeed as it takes 20 hrs according to our server. It was worth the effort with fall-off-the-bone meat and a side of gnocchi on a separate smaller plate. It came as two big shanks and good portion size even for the hungrier folk. The surf and turf plate with three tiger prawns and a 7 oz. tenderloin, was a bit tiny for our stomachs but nonetheless, cooked just right with the two sauces being very flavourful for their respective meat.
The soufflé and crème brûlée was less impressive than the appetizers and mains with the soufflé being standard and the brûlée not very creamy with a thick layer of burnt sugar instead of a my own preference to a thin layer. Their complimentary pear sorbet was the dessert star and full of sweet pear flavour and rightly balanced with the bitter liqueur swimming beside the sorbet.
Le Crocodile is consistently enjoyable with their classic dishes.
I have been fortunate enough to eat at some of the best restaurants around the world. Le Crocodile has lived up to the mark and has never disappointed me. I am taken there for birthdays and anniversaries and in turn take others as a special. (I also frequent other eateries and will include those reviews soon.)
The fois gras is poetic and although I fancy myself as a gourmet cook, that dish is simply too complicated to duplicate in a home kitchen successfully. It was silky and ethereal. The sweetbreads were fabulous and when I gave one "as a taste" to my young guest he nearly swooned. (University student son, doesn't get out much :)
It was if anything almost too much and we had no room for dessert. DO bring a fat wallet because it is not cheap. As an aniversary dinner or a place to propose (I witnessed it twice) it can't be beat.
I've been meaning to try this place forever and my boyfriend's birthday was the perfect excuse. After trying numerous fine restaurants in Vancouver, I can honestly say that this is one of the best restaurants that you will dine at in Vancouver. The staff is very attentive but I just gave the service a 4 because our waiter was missing at the end of the night when it got extremely busy - maybe one of the staff called in sick. The restaurant is really cozy but also very loud, my boyfriend and I found it hard to hear each other sometimes. As for the food, everything was amazing and they have an extensive wine list as well. I had the seared scallop and lobster tempura salad for an appetizer - the scallops were seared to perfection and the lobster tempura was crisp and moist. I took my boyfriend there for his birthday and they decorated the gateau au chocolat plate by writing "Happy Birthday" on it with chocolate sauce, which I thought was a nice touch. Definitely lives up to expectations.
My wife and I had our first real date here a few years ago and did not know what to expect (didn't really research this restaurant back then). From the very get-go, the service was awesome (French gentleman waiter ... can't remember his name but he's still there). Food + Pricing = value ... coming back from Europe... we sincerely appreciate the level of quality on Le Crocodile. We've come back a couple of times now, and will continue to come back as we are always impressed.
My wife and I dined here last night for her birthday and the evening will be remembered for a long time thanks to excellent service and fantastic food.
Here are the dishes my wife and I had (rated out of ten and grouped by delivery):
Fresh Kusshi Oysters with shallot, Tobiko Roe and Aged Red Wine Vinegar – 8
Broccoli and Cheese Tart (Amuse Bouche) – 10
Lobster Bisque served with Fresh Cream and Cognac – 7
Escargots baked in Pastry "Shells", with Garlic Butter – 10
Fried Julienne Potato – 8
Roasted Free-Range Chicken Breast, Pommery Mustard Sauce, Shitake Mushroom Risotto – 9
Grilled Veal Medallions with Veal Demi-Glace and Morel Mushrooms - 8
Citrus and Pomegranate Sorbet - 8
Puff Pastry Filled with Vanilla Ice Cream and Topped with Warm
Belgian Chocolate – 9
Apple Tart with Vanilla Ice Cream - 9
The service was excellent thought the meal. Our waiter was helpful, prompt, unobtrusive and witty. In addition, he was clearly passionate about the food and his recommendations were good. I was pleased to learn he had tried everything on the standard menu and the special menu (which was made up of 10 additional dishes all verbally described by him table-side). This is only something you would see in a high caliber fine dining establishment.
On the value front: I'm a relatively decent cook myself so the value isn't as good to me as someone who cannot cook gourmet meals on their own. That said, even though the evening was expensive after factoring in cocktails and wine, it was still well worth it.
The ambiance is the only weak point of this restaurant. It is elegant but it's just not as polished as other high-end fine dining establishments in Vancouver. Relatively cheap lamps and salt and pepper shakers (not salt and pepper mills) top every table. The fresh flower was a nice touch however. Everything was very clean. The washrooms had outdated tile and there was a lone screw coming out of the wall beside the mirror, a complete eye sore. Additionally, the restroom was appointed with a plastic paper towel dispenser and a plastic garbage can. This just isn't what I've come to expect from this type of restaurant.
Will I be back? You bet!
I took a client last Thursday for lunch. My client is a GM of 2 downtown hotels and was his first time at Le Crocodile. He was very impressed with the food, service and ambiance. I have been there over 20 times and they always make me feel like a VIP guest. This is a place to bring your date, spouse, and clients to have excellent food and be treated special. They always give out complimentary petit sampling appetitizers and desserts just to eliminate the waiting for your appetizers, main course, or dessert. My client and I both ordered the Express Menu consisting of fresh mushroom soup with truffle oil and the main course was sable fish with rice and vegetables. The soup was incredible and the sable fish was cooked just right with a bed of cream sauce. We both ordered fresh raspberries with Quincho liquor and raspberry sherbert. It was tasty. I was like the end when they give you the bill with the dark and light chocolate in the shape of crocodiles. They is such a nice touch and enforces the name of the restaurant. This restaurant is a regular place for me where I can expect a great dining experience.
Nice little restaurant. I have been here 3x now over the past few years. I do love French. Bar drinks are not that great, on two of my visits the waiter had to apologize for the "new bartender"...not sure how tough it is to pour a martini, the drink was short and took 15 minutes to arrive, however wine selection is fine. Food is good, and meal size per dollar is as expected. Service is a bit lacking. Overall the restaurant is small and overcrowded, as fore mentioned it is to loud to be romantic. It has more of an after closing broker feeling to it.
One of my reps took me out for lunch last week and it was the best lunch I have ever had. Impeccable service and attention to detail.
The place is fabolous the menu, wow, what can I say choices, choices,choices.
The special touches, like the hot Dundness Crab Amouse Bouche to start, and the pear sorbet with poire williams to mfinish, Yummmmm.
No wonder they have been around for so long the food was perfect, the flovours layered so that every bite you taste something new and your mouth never gets tired.
Frog legs and Duck confit, my favs.
Love the choc. crocs.
Dined for the first time at le crocodile and let me assure you that Michel Jacob's reputation is well deserved.
The food was spectacular: ris de veau as entree was to die for, dessert was fantastic.
Service was prompt, nice and professional.
We will definitly be back
In response to the review below...well, i would have laughed if someone asked if it was in the DOV. Le Crocodile isn't going to be like the other "high-end" places that will give very limited food choices and risk people complaining that the DOV wasn't very good...(b/c "you get what you pay for"
I made reservations a a month in advance (which probably wasn't necessary) for a special b-day dinner, but i think it is worth requesting for a certain table. It is more intimate & special if you ask to have a table off to the side (as opposed to being in the middle of the room, where many people are walking by. The maitre'd was very attentive in a good way. Our waiter was extremely pleasent, very professional and knowledgeable about the dishes. We started with the bone marrow (very fatty) & split an entree: grilled tiger prawns & sea scallops served over angel pasta (it was creamy, but very nice) and while you wait for the entree, you get these thinly sliced deep fried potatoes (similar to the 'hickory sticks'), so it's nice to snack on. As for the entree: Roasted rack of lamb & 1 1/2 pound atlantic lobster. Okay, the lamb was was excellent, the atlantic lobster was nice as well (very creamy and rich)...although the lobster was amazing, I would probably try something else next time (definitely go for it if you are craving for it, but make sure you're not lactose intolerant! It hit me a few hours after). Dessert was delightful, since it was his birthday, they wrote his name on the dessert plate, and we ordered I believe the chocolate crepe (they don't post desserts on the internet, but i think it had an orange sorbet of some kind, soooo good!). Oh and I forgot to mention at the beginning before we even started, the chef sent around these mini quiches that were complimentary and very savoury! Over all we were extremely full & very satisfied all across the board!
Not having dined often in fine dining establishments, I was welcomed with open arms at Le Crocodile. From the sommelier, to the hostess, to the waiter, service was top notch. My dining companion had the tasting menu, which included halibut salad, mushroom soup with truffle oil, venison medallions with spatzle, pear sorbet and a raspberry chocolate tart. All outstanding. I had lobster bisque and grilled sea bass. Fish was cooked to a delicate flake, melding with a creamy, tomato-saffron sauce. The bisque was the best I have had in this city. My only complaint is that their main dishes are rather lacking in vegetables...
I wanted my first review to be one of my favorite restaurants. I go once a year, for annual lunch, and it's the yearly highlight. The drinks are great, the servers are attentive, and the food is done to perfection. There is nothing "snotty" about this "fancy" french restaurant. You come here for exceptional service and to be spoiled rotten.
The most amazing gesture of service I remember was when one of the guests got up at our table to go to the lady's room but was in there for more than a few minutes, and a waiter quickly dropped by, and whisked her food plate right back in the warming oven, so that it would still be warm when she got back.
The foie gras was fresh and tasty-i samplied my friend's (and i hate foie gras) The entrees were so rich and all sound great, i always have a tough time choosing but i remember my seafood dish with fresh prawns and this black pasta. you always get a pear sorbet to cleanse your palette, and dessert is always wonderful too. You end your meal w/chocolate crocodiles. A nice touch. I highly recommend this place, it's really not much more (if not even a bit cheaper) than the other fine dining places, the service and quality is consistent, and I can't wait to return back next year!
I have not been to Le Crocodile for years and decided to see if it was maintaining its lustre. W O W it really is. Absolutely impeccable. From the friendly valet to the outstanding waiting staff its all very very good. Le crocodile manages to take it to the next level and rise above the rest of the "wannabees" like Gastropod, Fuel or CinCin's. So down to the supper.... for starters, lobster tempura with sea scallops and escargot in pastry shells followed by whole Sea Bream and a double veal chop. Both done to perfection and mmmmmmmmmm tasty. To finish the Crepe Suzettes were outstanding. The wine selection is extensive and are priced between reasonable to the outrageous. We finished off with a couple of coffees with their complimentary chocolate crocodiles just topped off the perfect evening. Try it...you won't be dissapointed.
So I came with high expectation after reading the reviews here and hearing from some friends who all had praises for this restaurant. However, I left disappointed. Perhaps it was their off night, but for almost $200 for a couple, I doubt it.
Food: Wasn't satisfied with the so called French cuisine. We had the pan seared foie gras, which was pleasant and didn't have too much liver taste. Also had the steak tartar, which tasted like the sandwich paste I make at home. I was most disappointed with our entrees. Halibut with linguine was overcooked and very dry. Beef tenderloin medium rare was also dry, and needed to be eaten with an overly salty jus. The side vegetable presentation was sad (what'd I'd expect at a low-end restaurant. It was served with maybe 5-6 veggies on a plate not bigger than a coffee saucer. The only saving grace is the deserts, which were well presented and tasted delicious.
Service: Good. Drinks always refilled...nothing to complain about.
Ambiance: Again, clean and tidy. The dining room is nicely lit and tables well spaced apart so you can comfortably carry a conversation.
If you do come to this restaurant, I suggest you really read the menu to see what is good, cuz we took the recommendations of the day and left disappointed. Many other restaurants in Vancouver in the 30-50$ range to try out....
We went here for lunch on a milestone Birthday that happened to be at Valentine's Day as well. It was a splendid choice and definitely an excellent fine dining experience. Everything was amazing, and no detail was forgotten. All staff were warm, pleasant, helpful and attentive. The Classic French meal was extraordinary and done to perfection. Since if was an afternoon lunch we both wanted a non-acoholic beverage, the server recommended the bartender create something for us: Passion Fruit Sparkler. We had each started off with an appetizer, a delicate and skillfully done crab cake, and robust and smooth tomato soup; followed by seafood entree that were both exquisite and gratifying. We reluctantly skipped dessert, but we were given cantaloupe sorbet to cleanse our palette and two chocolate crocodiles. The restaurant did not know it was my birthday, but we felt like it was a privileged to dine here and they manage to make us feel very special. The experience reconfirms why this restaurant has been so widely acclaimed, and why it was completely full. We are going to try to make it a tradition and come here for more special occasions.
You can`t go wrong with Le Crocodile! It`s portions are great for the price and for it being a French Resto. The Duck breast is my favorite. It have it almost everytime i go there, but lately I`ve swayed to try different dishes like the 1.25 pound Lobster! So good!
I`m a foie gras lover...the only thing that on the down side is that the foie gras here is too veiny... probably not of a higher grade, tho the portion is quite generous, I would rather have it better quality than have two pieces of foie gras and not enjoy it as much!
Service is attentive and thorough... the girl server we had is very good!
Dessert is a must! Passionfruit lemon tart always opens up my taste buds! Yum! Can`t wait until our next visit!
After reading all the good reviews about Le Crocodile, I decided to go there with my family for my birthday. I ordered a pumpkin soup for appetizer and their lobster and tiger prawns fettuccine as main course. Although I'm not usually a big fan of pumpkin soup, I thought their pumpkin soup was absolutely fantastic! I also enjoyed my fettuccine main course. The sauce was tasty and the fettuccine was freshly made. Other than the yummy food, the service was excellent as well. I will definitely go back there again next time for any special events.

Here are genuine artists' quality pastels — the softest in the world — uniquely packaged in stacking and interlocking jars. The packaging protects the colors, thus reducing damage and waste. PanPastels were specially developed so that artists could lift, apply, and control pastel color, just like true painting. The pan format holds color like paint for easy application. Each pan contains 35% more material than the average pastel stick. (On average, based on a market survey of standard soft pastel sticks.) The label, with color name and number, remains with the color pan for easy identification.
Loaded with the highest quality artists' pigments, PanPastel colors are made using a unique manufacturing process requiring minimal binder and fillers, resulting in a rich, ultra soft, low-dust formulation. These professional quality colors are highly pigmented and have excellent lightfastness. They are erasable and fully compatible with traditional pastel sticks, pastel surfaces, and conventional fixatives. They can be mixed, blended, layered, and applied like paint for an infinite palette of colors.
With PanPastel, it is possible to create more painterly effects. The artist can apply controlled marks, from intense to delicate — ultra thin "glazing" layers and veils of color. It is possible to block in large areas of color in seconds, for backgrounds, underpainting, and tinting paper. PanPastels clean up easily.
Each jar contains 9 ml (0.3 oz) of pastel. Instructions are also included.
Color Chart Note — Use this color chart as an approximation of the real color. If exact color matching is necessary, use actual samples of the materials.

from Tallahassee, FL
I had never used these before. They are awesome!
Perfect addition to any artists studio!
By Danae
from Bend, OR
I bought some individual PanPastel colors to supplement a few of the sets I bought and I love them. The colors are so vibrant and rich. The color lay down is thick and velvety. It is a great addition to any artists tool belt, whether you work in pastels, colored pencil, etc. You will not be disappointed.
Love this product!
I bought 2 Pan Pastel sets and I am beyond pleased with them. I have been needing an easier way to create background on my colored pencil paintings and the pan pastels are perfect. They have such deep, rich colors and the color lay down on the paper is velvety! They blend very easily and work very nicely under colored pencil. The Sofft tools are also very convenient and easy to use! I am definitely looking forward to adding more of these pastels to my collection!

Pan Pastels
By Nan
from College park, md
Pan Pastels are wonderful to work with. They are very intense in color and being in cake form can be picked up with a foam "brush" to apply which gives you much more control. They are not messy and don't get all over your studios and hands. Absolutely wonderful!
PanPastels were created to offer the artist a new tool for artistic expression by merging dry medium with wet, painterly technique. These highest quality pastels are rich, soft and lightfast and are contained in a truly unique pan that holds 35% more material than the average stick pastel.
See what distinquishes these high quality artists' pastels and tools from any other. Both products were invented for artists by artists and offer a new and unique way of painting with pastel. This video will show various applications, tips, and techniques.
Sofft tools were specifically developed for use with PanPastel soft pastels but are so versatile, inexpensive, and reusable, they can also be used with most water-based art and craft materials. Try using with watercolor, acrylic paint, glazes and with a variety of dry mediums, such as hard or soft traditional pastels and charcoal to create exciting new techniques, marks, and effects.

Weekdays 5:30pm
Tessa is a "Melbourne girl" who has moved to Sydney for her role as Nicole on Home and Away.
Her first on-air role was as Anne Baxter on Neighbours where she played a blind girl, who was both sweet and innocent – the complete opposite from Nicole. Tessa said "It was a great first role, I couldn't have wished for anything better. I had to practice a lot and really work hard to get it." She also played the lead role in the Australian short film, Hugo.
Now playing Nicole whose similarities to the young actress extend no further than their age and love of fashion, Tessa is eager to take on the role. "I love playing Nicole because she's feisty and fun, and doesn't mind pushing the boundaries. And she dresses stylishly – she's very high maintenance, which is fun to play."
Tessa is an avid performer and has performed in school plays and amateur theatre throughout primary school and high school. She has been dancing since the age of five, has sung for the Young Australian Broadway Chorus and the Children Performing Choirs Australia, plays the piano and guitar, loves to swim and surf. She took up acting at the age of 7, a hobby that she jokingly claims her mother chucked her into to control her.
Leaving behind her loving parents, sporty younger sister, and two dogs-Oreo and Bella, Tessa is facing some great challenges at such a young age, but she is ready and up for the new adventures that Sydney brings.
Tessa was born on April 17, 1991 under the Zodiac sign of Aries.

Commodities: The new UCITS frontier
UCITS-compliant funds are unable to invest directly in commodities. However, global economic turbulence has resulted in gold reaching historical highs and an increasing interest in the sector which is often seen as an inflation hedge. Joy Dunbar, editor of Absolute UCITS, explains how alternative asset managers are getting commodity exposure using the UCITS wrapper and how funds tackle tracking error.Global economic meltdowns have often resulted in commodities being considered an attractive investment strategy. After all people will always need soft commodities like coffee, cocoa, sugar, corn, wheat, soya and fruit.
On the other end of the spectrum hard commodities like metals, chemicals and petroleum are also necessary for our day-to-day lives whether it be for travel, components in mobile phones or the materials needed for building homes and skyscrapers.
The spotlight has increased on commodities because of increased fears and volatility in western economies due to te sovereign debt problem in the eurozone as well as the

An excerpt from the Symbolics Genera Manual.
This conceptual introduction explains what your Symbolics computer is all about. We urge you to at least skim it before you start daily work with the system. We try here to summarize some of the "big picture" concepts in your new software environment; knowing about this framework will help you in learning its details more efficiently.
Most new users of Symbolics machines have worked on traditional time-sharing systems, such as VAX/VMS, or on microcomputers or conventional UNIX workstations. ("Genera Comparison Charts" shows some equivalents between these systems and Genera.) If you feel somewhat uneasy about learning how to use the most advanced software environment around, relax!
You don't have to learn everything at once in order to do anything - look at this as a long-term, incremental learning project. You don't have to learn everything by yourself. Our documentation and Genera itself are here to help you.
Genera and Symbolics Common Lisp dramatically increase your productivity and efficiency by providing many built-in software facilities (similar to library routines) that you would otherwise have to write yourself. Our edit-compile-debug cycle happens so fast that you are virtually editing, compiling, and debugging simultaneously. The editor, compiler and debugger are all resident utilities, available anytime, anywhere.
Figure 1. Your view of Genera's command level.
Genera has no "command levels" or separate "command environments" - you can get there from here. You can move directly from any application to any other application, usually with just two keystrokes. You do not have to close one application to enter another. (See Figure 1.)
Many different activities, such as the editor and electronic mail, run at the same time in separate processes. That means you can move around the system from one application to another without affecting the state of other applications. For example, you can move directly from editing a file to reading online documentation to sending mail and back to editing the file.
To illustrate the basic environmental concept, suppose for a moment the house you live in were like a conventional software environment. The electricity would be in one room, the telephone in another, the heat in another, and the tap water in another. To access one facility, you would have to leave the other behind, moving back to a central access hallway that opened onto all the other rooms.
Suppose you were talking on the telephone in the telephone room. If you wanted to turn on the light in order to write something down, you would have to leave the telephone room, and go to the electricity room. If you then wanted to wash your hands, you would have to leave the electricity room and go to the water room. It would be unthinkable to use the heat, light, or telephone in the water room.
Figure 2. House as Operating System. This house design has central heating, electricity in every room, and so on. That is, basic services are available or accessible in every context.
Continuing this analogy, with a house designed like Genera, you could access electricity, heat, water, telephone, vacuuming, and so forth, from every room (Figure 2)! As you will see when you learn more about Genera, you can access a Genera activity in many different ways as well.
In a conventional computer system, the operating system is the foundation and other separate software application programs are layered on top of the operating system. The command level (exec, monitor, or shell) controls access to the operating system's facilities as well as access to (invoking and terminating) the application programs (Figure 3).
Figure 3. Traditional operating systems require the user to interact with a command monitor in order to access applications and the facilities of the operating system.
Genera is your whole environment; it encompasses what you normally think of as an operating system as well as everything else - system commands and all other activities. From where you look at it, there is no "top-level" controller or exec.
All Genera activities are themselves Lisp functions, based on a pool of thousands of Lisp functions, all implemented in Lisp. Below those, it's just the hardware - you never need to deal with a lower-level internal implementation language.
Figure 4. The Lisp Environment, consisting of all the function and data objects in virtual memory. Activities are just collections of functions and data.
Genera is intelligent. Its many processes can communicate with each other, and they all automatically share data. Genera keeps an internal record of the history of almost everything that happens in the system - command history, output history, process history, window history, and so on.
Histories make it possible to use previous output on a window as input to a command. The mouse can select a relevant piece of output anywhere on the screen because the history mechanism keeps track of the data object types of all the output. As a result, the reusable output is completely context-sensitive.
For example, clicking on a filename in a directory listing displays the contents of the file. When a command needs a filename argument, clicking on that same filename gives the file to the command as an argument. The meaning of the clicks is both context-sensitive and intuitive. You can scoop up a piece of output in one activity and enter it as input to another activity in a matter of seconds. With just a few keystrokes, you can find, modify, and reuse a command that you entered earlier in the day.
The key to Genera's intelligence is the sharing of knowledge and information among all activities. At any time, the collection of all the state of all the processes is called the environment (Figure 4). Any function running in any process can use any piece of data in the environment directly. You do not need laborious special-purpose protocols or intermediate files.
The entire software environment, in its pristine unused state, ready for booting, is saved on disk as a world. A world consists of all the Lisp objects (functions, variables, windows, processes, and so on) that make up the software environment. The world contains the fully initialized environment, ready to boot and use.
Genera doesn't draw any boundaries around itself. It is customizable and extensible by design. Unlike most software, it has an open architecture; you can change anything that is part of Genera. In fact, we encourage you to take advantage of this and to build your applications as extensions of Genera.
The extensibility of the system is possible thanks to both its modular design and its implementation, using highly flexible, object-oriented data structures called flavors. Any data object defined by a flavor or class can be customized or extended cleanly.
Object-oriented data structures are at the heart of symbolic processing because they allow abstract descriptions of data and operations in terms that fit well with the application. The data objects are essentially models of the real-world objects they are implementing. Thus programming uses a problem-solving vocabulary that matches the terminology of the problem domain.
Genera itself was designed to be extended in a number of different ways. You can set customizing variables and create simple files of personal initializations (called init files), or you can extend or replace parts of Genera itself in order to create your own special application.
When you write a program, it becomes an extension of Genera itself (Figure 5). What you do becomes part of the world and enriches the software environment. Because you have loaded a world into your own standalone machine, you can customize and extend the system without affecting the work of others. To get a fresh world, simply boot your machine again.
Figure 5. Your Programs Become an Extension of Genera.
To sum things up, its built-in features, open architecture, intelligence, and extensibility make Genera a new breed of software environment. Genera can help you perform tough software development tasks more quickly than you ever imagined possible.
As you delve deeper into the conceptual material in the next chapters, and then begin to get hands-on practice with Genera in the workbook, do not feel overwhelmed. You shouldn't put pressure on yourself to learn all about a revolutionary new software environment in a day or two. Take it easy. Try things out. Master a little at a time. Genera fosters an incremental approach in all things, including its own mastery.
Genera has amazing functionality and flexibility - often you can perform any task in any application in several different ways. But do not equate high flexibility and functionality with low usability! Genera is also ultimately the most usable software environment available. We want you to explore our functionality at your own pace. There is virtually no limit to the capabilities you will discover in Genera. And Genera will not place artificial upper limits on your creativity.
What's the central philosophy behind the evolution of computing in general and Genera in particular? Free programmers from thinking about unnecessary details and they can accomplish more. The more abstractly they are allowed to think, the bigger and harder the problems they can solve.
Some major advances in the history of conventional computing were motivated by this philosophy:
Assembly language. To avoid having to program in ones and zeros, assemblers were invented and programmers were able to express instructions to the computer mnemonically.
High-level languages. To avoid having to think about the computer hardware and instructions when solving a problem, high-level programming languages such as FORTRAN were invented. These allowed programmers to express solutions to problems without regard for the particular organization of the hardware and instruction set.
Dynamic memory allocation. To free programmers from having to plan the storage needs of their programs in advance, dynamic memory allocation became available in programming languages like Pascal and C.
Genera takes this philosophy of supporting programmers much farther, providing the ideals of abstraction and generality in a number of ways.
Generic operations. When you need to add two numbers, you do not need to care about whether one number is an integer and another is a floating-point number. Just use the generic operation "+" all the time, and Genera figures out how to do "+" correctly. There is no performance penalty for this flexibility and freedom from detail - it is handled by special hardware.
User-defined generic operations. One of the principal gifts that object-oriented programming gives you is the ability to define your own generic operations. With the powerful and efficient Flavors system, or the Symbolics implementation of CLOS, object-oriented programming is not expensive, either; you don't pay any performance penalties for using the power.
Automatic storage management. Pascal and C provide dynamic memory allocation at a price. To make use of that feature in conventional languages, you must construct your program carefully to manage the allocation and deallocation of memory. The details of explicit storage management have nothing to do with the conceptual problems that the program is trying to solve, but it's necessary to complicate your program with those details on conventional computers.
In Genera, programmers need not explicity allocate or deallocate memory. Storage space is made available to a program implicitly as it is needed and is reclaimed automatically when it is not needed. This is called garbage collection. You don't have to think about it at all; you can focus your attention on the problem you are trying to solve.
Automatic, dynamic memory allocation is one of the things that makes it easy to write large Lisp programs. The coupling of special hardware and ingenious software on our machine makes garbage collection very practical and inexpensive; it is neither of those things on other machines.
Dynamic linking. To run a program on conventional computers you have to compile it and link and load it. On ours you just have to compile the thing. Why think about linking? It's free, courtesy of symbolic computing.
Definition editing. Programmers often work on big programs, involving thousands of routines defined in hundreds of files. The logistics of that are staggering on conventional computers. When you need to modify a function, you have to find it first; you end up being a bookkeeper as well as a programmer. In Genera, that's not necessary. All you need to know in order to modify a function is its name. You can say "Edit the definition of this function" and Genera takes care of the bookkeeping. That's the right way to do it, because otherwise bookkeeping stands between you and the problem at hand.
Generic networking. Symbolics supplies impressive networking capabilities. The name of the game is "heterogeneous". We can speak DECnet to VAXes, TCP/IP to many different kinds of computers, and SNA 3270 to IBM computers.
There are actually quite a few ways of making another vendor's machine talk to your Symbolics machine. The good news is that most Symbolics Genera users do not need to know anything at all about any of these network protocols in order to use them.
The substrate of all of our networking products is called the "Generic Network System." It does for networking what generic operations do for programming itself. Namely, you don't have to think about how you're going to talk to another computer; you think only about what you want to do. Here are examples of using Chaosnet, DECnet, and TCP/IP for file transfer:
Command: Copy File TE:RDP;Speech.Text W:>RDP>Speech.Text
Command: Copy File TE:RDP;Speech.Text GUMBO:[RDP]SPEECH.TXT
Command: Copy File TE:RDP;Speech.Text Acme:/usr/rdp/speech.txt
As this example shows, you always use the network the same way, whether the other machine is another Symbolics machine, a VAX running VMS, or something running UNIX. There's no difference between machines on a local network and those at a remote site. As long as the appropriate network connections exist, you just issue the commands with the names of the files you want and generic networking takes care of the details. No special "file transfer program" is ever needed.
The simplicity and uniformity are there not only for Genera users but also for programmers who are developing distributed applications that use a network. Our system makes that very simple; no non-essential details come between you and your real goal.
Program-building assistance. Genera provides a high-level substrate for building the user interfaces of application programs. You can define commands that work just like the other Genera commands, with full error-checking, reprompting, and context-sensitive help. They will work like Genera commands, but you can design them to look like anything you want; the tools do not limit in any way the kinds of interfaces you can build.
The mouse is an important part of Genera's user interface. When you use the standard mechanisms for defining commands in an application, mouse sensitivity comes along for free. You get command menus, reusable output, and context-sensitive mouse documentation automatically as a result of using these high-power tools for defining your program.
Maybe you can't move the world with a computer, but Genera running on a Symbolics machine makes it easier to try.
Symbolics Genera is an advanced software development environment that integrates the features normally found in an operating system, its utilities, and the applications running under it. Genera is written in Lisp and supports program development in Lisp and in a number of other languages, including conventional algorithmic ones such as Pascal and C.
Genera has evolved expressly for providing full life-cycle support for major development projects. It includes facilities for the following classes of activities:
Exploring ideas
Developing prototypes
Communicating with other project members
Consolidating diverse exploratory efforts
Testing and refining a product
Distributing, maintaining, and retiring the final product
Genera was designed for advanced, complex applications. By their very nature, this kind of program is not well understood by its designers; understanding grows incrementally with time and experience. Genera provides the support necessary for this kind of evolutionary growth of a complex program.
With the rich substrate of reusable functions, you can create a working prototype in a fraction of the time you were accustomed to needing. With the modular design encouraged by object-oriented methodology, you can replace parts of the prototype cleanly whenever new understanding permits. As the application grows, configuration management tools keep the complexity under control.
Genera was designed specifically to support the evolutionary software methodology. Both the basic architecture and the software itself were built for managing the details of program structure and compilation.
Data-level integration. All functions and data exist in virtual memory that is shared by all processes.
Open system. All parts of the system are available for inspection, reuse, extension or replacement.
Support for incremental change. Continual, small changes are supported in designs, in work procedures, and in quality enhancement.
Reusability. Along with the reusability made possible by the open architecture, source code is available for most of the system, to aid in understanding and extending Genera.
Extensibility. The work environment is designed to be tailored to support users' own styles and preferences.
"Self-revealing" system. Information about the internal workings of the system is always available.
In Genera, all functions and data share the same virtual memory. This shared memory is treated by the software as containing a set of data objects, not uninterpreted bits or bytes. Data objects are both simple (lke characters) and structured (like arrays). In addition, you can have data types defined by applications, containing both state information and operations.
Each data object contains knowledge of its own type. For simple objects, some of this type knowledge is captured in hardware tag bits. Data objects in the object-oriented Flavors and CLOS languages also know their own types and the generic operations that apply to them.
All functions running on the machine can access a common pool of data structures; your functions and data are indistinguishable internally from those provided by the system. Integration in the environment is at the level of the data. A number of different programs can operate on the same data and programs can communicate with each other via shared data. In conventional systems, programs usually have to communicate with each other through the medium of files (see Figure 6).
Most conventional operating systems have a core or kernel that is protected from modification or even use by appliction programs. Genera has no such barriers; everything is open for use or modification. Figure 7 diagrams the fundamental difference between open and closed systems.
Figure 7. A closed system erects barriers to application programs. Its facilities are available only through specific restricted interfaces and most of the internals are invisible. Genera instead offers layers of functionality to its application programs. The layers are "permeable", so all the internal facilities are available to any application.
Use what's there. The system provides a huge set of capabilities from high-level substrates to the very bottom-level primitives, all equally accessible.
Use what's almost there. Take what the system provides and extend it: add some operations or exploit some hooks. The Flavors, CLOS, and object-oriented programming systems were designed specifically to meet the goals of abstract data integration and extensibility.
Using Flavors or CLOS, it is possible to have several specialized versions of an existing data type that do not interfere with each other or with the original type. You can create specialized versions of data structures without having to modify any of the original source code and even without first understanding all of the original program.
Replace what's there. Major parts of the system can be (and have been) replaced by users interested in exploring research issues or enhancing performance in special situations. The open but layered structure of the software allows you to bypass higher-level interfaces in favor of lower-level interfaces. As a very simple example, you could provide an alternate file system, using documented disk access primitives.
How can a system work reliably without a protected kernel? Why don't multiple programs sharing the single virtual address space interfere with each other?
Data-level integration means that memory contains structured data objects, not merely uninterpreted bits. This ensures that programs automatically share the semantics as well as the objects and makes it impossible for one program to misuse the data structures of another.
The hardware provides run-time array bounds checking, data-type checking, and automatic reclamation of unused storage. In traditional systems, programs need to be protected against other programs' "wild" stores due to out-of-bounds array references, uninitialized pointers, data structures not in the assumed format, or releasing storage that is actually still in use. The hardware checking in a Symbolics machine prevents these conventional sources of damage from buggy programs.
One program can extend or replace part of Genera for its own purposes without interfering with the operation of other programs. The principal mechanisms for extension are per-process dynamic state and flavor specialization. Replacing part of the open system is usually done by bypassing the original (rather than removing or changing it) so that it remains available to other programs.
This means you can change everything, opening up a rich environment and permitting you to go far beyond the usual notions of customizing. The modifications you can make are limited only by your imagination and programming ability.
Along with the open software architecture, Genera was designed to let you know what is going on. This has led to a principle of "maximally informative interfaces", with commitment to supporting exploration and investigation and to supplying feedback and documentation.
Right on the keyboard you'll find a HELP key. Pressing this key causes help information, appropriate to your current context, to be displayed. As a programmer, you can write specialized help within your own application or simply depend on the system-supplied facilities, which provide many kinds of help information automatically.
Without any action on your part, many kinds of status information are always visible (but unobtrusive) at the bottom of the screen:
Date and time.
Running process name.
Current package (context in which symbols are read).
State of the current process.
Progress of file writing, compilation, or other lengthy computations.
Documentation of the function of each mouse button, based on the position of the mouse and the state of the program.
In addition to this constant information, you can use an application program designed for displaying system status information. This utility, called Peek, can display the states of all processes, windows, network connections, servers, network hosts, virtual memory areas, and so on.
So much for the status of the environment. What about your programs? You can look at your data structures, either statically or dynamically. The Flavor Examiner shows definitions, inheritance relationships, and methods in the object-oriented programming system. The Inspector lets you see or manipulate any aspect of the current state of a complex data object. Both of these utilities operate symbolically - you are looking at the names of the slots in the data structures not at mysterious, numeric representations of them.
Most important of all, you can always suspend any computation at any time. Stop it just to find out what it is currently doing - use the Debugger to inspect the data objects, call stack, and other aspects of the running program and then resume it from where you left off. Again, data-level integration is the basis for this capability as the Debugger process automatically has access to the objects and state of the suspended process.
Genera offers several kinds of context-sensitive documentation. Any time you are typing a function name, a single key command displays either its arguments or full reference documentation. The argument information comes from information maintained automatically by the compiler. Reference documentation is supplied by Document Examiner, an application that lets you use the whole documentation set online.
As in many systems, the action taken when you click the mouse buttons depends on where the mouse cursor is on the screen. Unique to Genera, however, is the mouse documentation display that is maintained continually by the user interface management system. As you move the mouse across the screen, the mouse documentation line changes continually with the input context and with the nature of the object beneath the mouse.
Genera supports multiple, independent processes in a single address space, with an event-driven scheduler. For an appreciation of how Genera itself uses processes, take a look at the Processes subwindow of Peek, the system status window.
After you have used Genera for a while, you will find yourself carrying on many different activities "at the same time". As far as you are concerned, some activities occur in parallel, such as editing a file while compiling another file and loading new mail in the background. You will find yourself time-slicing also, jumping from one activity to another as you think of things to do in each one. There are no penalties for hopping around - when you select a new activity, the one you just left is simply suspended until you next select it. You never lose any aspect of context when moving between activities in Genera.
The software environment supports this mental view by maintaining the state of any number of processes concurrently. You don't exit one and return to command level in order to start or resume another; you simply select the process implementing the next-desired activity. In each case, when you resume an activity, it is in exactly the same state as when you last left it.
This structure of multiple independent processes based on shared data structures is a strong foundation for the activities involved in software development. Debugging is one situation that often requires using a number of different applications during the search for a problem.
When a program running in Genera encounters a problem unanticipated by the programmer, it automatically enters the Debugger. Both the Debugger and the erring program are processes, and the Debugger process has access to all the state information about the erring process.
In debugging a problem, you can move with one keystroke (or at most two) to a number of different utilities:
Display Debugger. This multi-pane window appears with all the relevant backtrace and argument information visible.
Editor. The editor appears with the buffer containing the erroneous function read in and positioned to the right place.
Flavor Examiner. This utility shows you the static definition of your object-oriented data structures.
Bug mail. A mail window appears, initialized with the relevant mailing list name and a full backtrace of the erring process.
Figure 8. You can use a number of utilities as you debug a problem.
In debugging a problem, you would normally employ several other processes, from editor to online documentation to mail system, and so on. Finally, you would select the process that had entered the Debugger and decide what to do next. The choices are many:
Just aborting that execution attempt
Choosing one of the proceed options provided by the original program designer
Returning a plausible value from the erroneous function and resuming execution
Changing the value of an argument and reinvoking the function
Editing and recompiling the erroneous function and invoking it again on the current arguments
Genera's programming environment rests on a rich set of information, maintained by a number of agents, as shown in Figure 9.
Unless you want to know about this, you can remain largely unaware of the complex information structure underlying the commands and facilities you use. This complex information structure has profound implications, however, enabling the following kinds of unique capabilities:
The compiler maintains a database of caller information. The editor uses this information to let you edit each of the callers of a function. As a result, you don't need concordances, program listings, or separate CREF (cross-reference) programs.
The compiler maintains a database of source location information, which the editor uses to let you edit functions by name. The Debugger uses the source location information to offer single key com- mands that invoke the editor on the function for the current stack frame. As a result, you are freed from awareness of the names of files or particular file structures involved in any software project.
The compiler maintains a database of argument list information that the editor, Debugger, Lisp Listener, and other tools use to offer fast online help concerning arguments. You do not need to memorize details of call sequences since you can always check quickly when you need to know.
The editor maintains a structured view of source code information, enabling it to offer commands for compiling only the definitions that have changed in any particular buffer. You can make a number of related source changes and then ask to compile only the definitions that have changed.
During compilations, the compiler maintains a database of warnings and messages. The editor uses this database to offer a command for dealing with the warnings. It puts the message in one buffer and the relevant source code in another. That way, you are freed from the burden of writing down errors or having to find the relevant definitions manually.
The configuration manager, SCT, maintains a database of the file names and file versions that constitute any software system and of the various compile- and load-time dependencies between the files. This database is used in full system compilations, in incremental patching, in system distribution, and so on. As a result, you are freed from manual operations and potential costly errors in shipping software products. In addition, many operations can be performed on "a system" without your needing to remember any of the files that it contains.
Complex, experimental software systems are too large to work on all at once. In Genera, various strategies help you manage complexity by dividing the work into small steps, each of which is small enough that it is easy to understand it completely. You'll use this "divide and conquer" strategy in three ways:
Design. As the design of a new project evolves, you transform the software from one stable state to another, one step at a time. The software emerges as a sequence of programs, each of which can do something and is partially complete. At each stage, you can run the program and see what the results of the changes were, using that to decide whether any changes in direction are needed or whether to simply proceed with the next step of the design. This cycle of incremental feedback and guided design applies not only for early experiments but for the entire development of the program.
It is important to realize that you need an overall design for the program when this process starts. Incremental design does not mean that "you make it up as you go along"! Rather, it means that the overall design can be modified to a slightly different overall design, which might mean backing up and rewriting portions of the software. Incremental development does not replace the need for careful design. But it allows the design to be modified promptly, based on early feedback, so that you spend less time working on inappropriate designs, with a resulting increase in productivity.
Quality enhancement. In the early stages of software development, you learn what the requirements really are, finalize the design, and rough out an implementation. In the later stages, you "fill out" the design. The quality enhancements added late in a project are those needed to transform a program into a product. These include im- proving the design of the user interface, changing data structures to improve performance, and providing better handling of errors and exceptional conditions. Each of these steps can be done without major changes or rewrites; the program can be tested after each change. The "prototype" turns into the product; it is not thrown away.
Procedure. Genera's software tools operate on individual definitions rather than files. For example, you can compile an individual function, then immediately run the function alone to test it. Since so little is being compiled, the compilation is fast. Linking and loading occur automatically as part of compilation. This provides fast interaction both for developing the design, for enhancing quality, and for fixing bugs.
Traditional environments require compiling entire files or groups of files. Compilation and relinking therefore take a long time, so you find yourself "batching up" the changes between recompilations. As a result, you keep track of too many details mentally and can end up forgetting some of the details you were trying to test.
Keeping track of source code, object code, documentation, test cas- es, and revision levels for a large program is a difficult clerical task. Genera's System Construction Tool (SCT) handles most of the job.
Dependencies. A large program is described in a definition file. This system definition records all source and object files in the system, tells which must be compiled first and which must be loaded first, and specifies any other dependencies.
Recompilation. When you compile a software system, SCT examines change dates and dependencies for source files to determine which must be recompiled to produce consistent object files.
Versions. SCT maintains records of all of the file versions that contribute to a particular system version. As a result, you can easily revert to a previous version or make a tape to distribute a specific system version.
All this facilitates many operations that must be performed on a system as it passes through various phases of its development life:
Definition and design. As a system grows, you register your new files with SCT simply by adding additional entries to the system definition.
Refinement. You make changes to individual functions as you work on your software. You can make those changes available to your co-workers through the incremental update procedure known as patching. You designate the several functions to update and SCT takes care of all the bookkeeping details needed.
Compilation. SCT uses the system definition to produce its own plan for compilation of a system, in keeping with the specified compilation and load dependencies.
Housekeeping. Related data files can be registered in the system definition as non-compiled, non-loaded components. When you need to operate on the whole system, for example, moving it from one file server to another, SCT knows exactly which files to copy.
Distribution. You don't have to be a developer in order to ship or install a system. SCT provides you with commands for making tapes of your software system and for installing the software simply at a new site.
At each of these steps it is only necessary for the person performing the operation to know the system name and possibly the desired system version.
The conceptual introduction to Genera is a description of its philosophy and guiding vision. Like any complex, real-world system, the reach sometimes exceeds the grasp; some parts of Genera do not fully implement the vision as we have expressed it. Genera contains some artifacts of its development history that are not exemplary of the design philosophy. We hope that the small failures of the philosophy will not distract you very much in your appreciation of the large successes.
Genera's approach to software development is not without its hazards. Once the initial euphoria has passed, be wary of the temptation to change everything just because you can do it! You'll encounter a number of problematic issues, which are not unique to Genera but which are certainly made more evident by an open software architecture.
Open systems have no "keep out" signs. An open software architecture is a boon but only if you understand its risks. Without a formal system/user distinction, you can find yourself attempting to solve a problem using primitives instead of facilities more appropriate to the problem.
Finding the right level. The system software has been designed with calling interfaces at various levels of abstraction. It is very rare for Genera users to be forced to use "bit-banging" programming practices. If you find yourself using facilities that feel like or are documented as internal primitives, take another close look at the alternatives. There is likely to be a calling interface defined at the level of abstraction you need.
Documentation. The fact that you can use any internal feature anywhere in Genera increases the size and complexity of the document set. Where practical, the documentation describes the levels of abstraction and the protocols for using appropriate levels of functionality for a problem. The documentation for internal functions is accessible, just like the functions themselves are accessible. But that doesn't mean you should necessarily use them!
Compatibility issues. You want Genera to continue evolving and improving; at the same time, you want your own code, which might be based on changes you've made to Genera's internals, to keep working! Because of the extremely high level of integration within Genera, it often is not possible for us to support both old and new approaches in parallel. The right protection is for you to use the highest practical level of abstraction of the facilities that Genera provides for your problem. The higher-level interfaces are much more resistant to change than are the internals.
People moving from other environments to Genera report gains in both personal productivity and job satisfaction due to the following attributes of the software environment:
Data-level integration permits the construction of integrated, communicating tools, the direct result of which is reduced mental overhead for you, the user.
Reusability permits you to start a new project from a much higher base; you put your major early effort into understanding the application requirements rather than into building subprimitives to support the tasks.
Open architecture allows you to explore an idea as far as your own creativity takes you rather than as far as the Genera developers will let you go.

hot breakfast?
Hi All,
I was lovin' the smoothies over the summer as a yummy nutritious breakfast (typically I would eat banana, spinach, blueberry, soymilk and some protein powder) but now that it's winter I want something hot for breakfast and I'm not that happy w/ any of the choices I come up with. I love egg w/ spinach and salsa on a tortilla but I don't like to eat eggs everyday. I like oatmeal, but it's carb heavy and not nearly as nutritious as my smoothie. I really liked getting greens in my breakfast. Any ideas? I would prefer vegan / ETL friendly, but it's not a requirement.
Fri. Dec 21, 3:14pm
a friend of mine suggest quinoa warmed with a apple or banan roasted with some cinamon and nutmeg....
there is also brown rice hot cereals in some gluten free aisles in some super markets,
could try make quinoa with some boiled apples cut up and sauted together or mashed banans..
could also make a fritata with eggwhites.. throw in all sorts of veggies
almond flour pankcakes
i have made oat and bean waffles and they are yummy.
just some ideas
Friday, December 21, 2012, 4:07 PM
Is it possible to add protein powder to oatmeal? I've never tried it. Sounds like it might be healthy.

Quinoa can make great oatmeal. How about almond butter and fruit?
Wednesday, December 26, 2012, 11:48 AM
my favorite hot breakfast is steel cut oats with fresh baked apple in it...I bake the cored apple in the microwave in a bowl for about 2 min, then scoop out the warm sweet pulp into the cooked oatmeal, yum!

Protein powder in hot cereal
When we are out for days canoeing I need protein with breakfast so I add the protein powder to my hot cereal. I use the vanilla powder and also include cinnamon and sometimes nutmeg. It isn't bad. What I really miss when we are out are veggies. I found a green powder that can be mixed with water.
Friday, December 28, 2012, 11:29 AM
I found Ancient Harvest brand organic quinoa flakes that is for making a hot cerial, and have been having it every morning. It cooks in 90 seconds on the stovetop. Box also had microwave directions. I love my oatmeal, but thought that this would be better. Taste and consistency both good.
Sunday, December 30, 2012, 11:52 PM
Hot porridge
Hi, I will ditto the quinoa suggestion. I sometimes cook extra quinoa and then heat it in the microwave for breakfast with frozen berries and then top with soy milk or yoghurt.
I have recently been having buckwheat porridge. Bob's Redmill makes a nice 'creamy buckwheat' that I use.
Both quinoa and buckwheat are high in protein, so I think I you are worried about carbs, they would be better options than oats.

Thanks for all these ideas. I like all these meal ideas. -
