Snot

Good morning!

You read the title correctly...snot.  It's on my mind today as I work through this cold.   Yesterday, it was on my top lip...yes...running from my nose to my lip right in the middle of my audition!  Hideous!  Why my nose had to dribble at that exact moment I will never know...the good news is that the casting director likely won't soon forget me!  She was very gracious, offered me a Kleenex and we moved on.  Wonder if I will be getting a call back for this one??


What else can you do but laugh?  My friend Becky and I laughed for hours yesterday.  Our 15 hour Vancouver adventure began at 6:30 am.  We hit the road for the coast with oatmeal, healthy snacks, coffee and reading material. 



The snot incident was one of several funny moments.  We got lost (many times), we lost the truck momentarily in an underground parking lot and Becky thought the Canucks were playing in the Stanley Cup Final last night!  All giggle worthy moments.

We had grand intentions of fitting a run into this day...but it didn't happen. We did, however, keep our food intake pretty healthy (except for some mini eggs ~ bad Becky for buying them!)  I always find it challenging to eat clean (and vegan) on the road.  My 'go to' right now is Subway.  I order the wheat bun, then ask them to dig out all the 'inside' bread.  Basically it just leaves you with the crusty part.  I get it loaded with veggies!  (Thanks to Lucy for that 'bread' tidbit.)

Thank you Becky for making a long day fun!  I always enjoy my time with you!  What better a place to catch up then hours together in a vehicle.

Tomorrow, I'm going to share my absolute favourite meal of the moment!

Enjoy your day.

Toby

Indian Food Intimidation

Hello friends. I have something I need to get off my chest.  For years, I have been intimidated by curry.  I don't know a Vindaloo from a Tikka Masala.  What I do know is that I always enjoy an authentic Indian meal, I just want to be able to cook one myself! Last night a friend put on a fantastic Indian spread...butter chicken (none for me!)  a delicious vegetable curry and a chick pea curry.  There was of course naan bread and basmati rice.  Delicious.  Today I was inspired...I entered the grocery store without a list or any concrete plan.  I just knew I wanted a curry dish, I knew what I wanted in it and how it should look and taste.  Brave I know...but this story has a happy ending. I grabbed all my vegetables first.  Onion, garlic, red pepper, cauliflower, potato and peas.  I moved on to organic chick peas, light coconut milk and brown basmati rice.  A great base...but then the curry conundrum.  I appr...

Quest Bar Cookies!

Hello Friends, Many of you may know that I am a fan of Quest Bars.   Sugar free, gluten free, low carb.  Here's the link for all the nutrional info on them.  www.questproteinbar.com Anyway, I was super excited about the new cookie dough flavour that's been released, but alas, it's not available in Canada....I wanted to try it because my friendly neighbourhood FUEL Supplements store owner, Aaron, told me he heard you could bake them up like little cookies. Well, that got me to thinking.  Why would it be limited to the cookie dough variety, why not peanut butter or apple pie.  With just a few available moments this morning I tried it...so great.  Instead of noshing into a bar, I nibbled on 10 tiny cookies...crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Here's how I did it. I chose to use the Peanut Butter Flavour.  I cut the bar into squares and placed on a tinfoil covered baking sheet, misted with PAM. ...

Make Room For It

Clutter is so detrimental.  In your closets on your counters but most especially in your head.  Outside clutter can be discarded with a little time and elbow grease but removing mental clutter is a whole other ball game. I'm going to speak about fitness and healthy eating but this can be applied to anything that has you stuck. I've fretted for months about losing my exercise routine.  A new career move meant a new schedule in direct conflict with my gym time.  It had been my gym time for as many years as I can remember and when I lost it (even though I love my job) I lost a little part of myself. My mind was over-active with new approaches to exercise but honestly they were mostly excuses about why I didn't really need to, mixed with a touch of self loathing. This thing that had been so important for my physical and mental well-being was getting further away...until a moment of clarity. Let me ask, have you tried meditating?  Going quiet, letti...
