I've been attempting to cook and the first dish -GOOD, second dish - not so good!! I made a pasta with artichoke, onion, and tomato sauce with lots of different herbs and that was amazing!! Could have used a protein but i didnt have any but it was really good!! AH-HA!!! i didnt know i could do that!! Today i made an Asian noodle dish and it was good but WAY too fish saucy!! Again, minus a protein but its good it was missing because i wasnt overly impressed with myself and it might have been a waste of a protein. I think for tomorrow's dinner i'm just going to stick to what i'm good at and make eggs! Or i'll just go back to my previous pasta dish seeing as i really surprised myself with it!!
I also think i'll bake tomorrow - i have a cookie receipe from Martha Stewart that i've always wanted to try so i think tomorrow might be the ideal lazy hazy rainy day to do it! I made my legendary brownies the other day and if i do say so myself they were AMAZING!!! i hadnt made them in a while and boy oh boy were they ever good!!
I always feel a sense of calm when i bake. There is something about that just soothes my soul and calms me down and i feel very zen when i bake. i dont know what it is about baking because once i'm done i have to clean and THAT is not calming at all!! Rather a nusence if you ask me not to mention a pain in the butt!! But (haha) when you're baking its amazing and just awesome and then when you get to the end and you see your creation its like AH-HA!! totally worth it!!
Speaking of Ah-ha's i've had quite a few during my yoga classes and they've been great moments!! I'm stopping less and less during class and more able to keep up. I'm also able to do more and more positions AND i'm more flexible which is shocking - NEVER thought that would have happened!! I can actually do extended side angle which was next to impossible when i started. Not to mention i've seen noticable differences in my body which is surprising. However, having said that, the chocolate that i am eating as we speak will go a LONG way to undoing any good i've done!
I've had some good Ah-ha's recently and i hope to keep them coming!
TTFN - thanks pooh bear!!
