Well, I tried fixing the mochi a different way today. Last time I baked it. Today, I cooked it in a pan on medium heat with a little bit of olive oil. Let’s just say it was GREAT! I am officially hooked on mochi.
Lunch was a simple stir-fry with my now favorite, mochi. I cooked a carrot and broccoli over medium heat with garlic and olive oil. Careful not to overcook the veggies. stirred in a sauce that I made out of miso, water, lime and shoyu sauce then turned it down to low just till the sauce is warm. After I turned off the heat I stirred in pecans and red bell pepper. This was a great lunch. I still have the stuff to make it again. I’m thinking of a repeat tomorrow!
I don’t usually talk a whole lot about my exercise details here but this morning’s deserves a mention. I borrowed Jari Love’s Extremely Ripped from Netflix. Talk about a workout!! I would highly recommend it. Today was my first time with this disc. I’m not sure who long it is. All I know is that I didn’t eat a big enough snack to do more than one hour and 16 minutes. I chose to stop and finish later when my form was right again. I am convincing myself that I will get back to it this evening 
Let me just say how happy I was to see these stats!
I could hardly wait to make breakfast after that little number. I made oatmeal with raisins, pecans and hemp seeds. It was very appreciated, I shall say.
So, now on to a more serious subject, who has seen Food Inc.? I finally watched it last night and am so glad I did. Most of the information, I was already aware of but it was nice to have it reiterated and explained with some crisp facts. I would like to take this moment to strongly suggest that everyone watch it. My main reason is just to bring it to your attention. If I was unaware of where my food was coming from, I would like if someone tipped me in the right direction.
A few thing to think about:
-Does it ever occur to you how fast food and some meat products can be so inexpensive?
-What do you think of when you hear E coli.?
-What about diabetes?
-What comes to mind, when you hear the term; factory farming?
I only bring these subjects up because I think it something that everyone should be aware of. Knowledge is power, right. I think if everyone was aware of what goes on and how our food is manufactured today they might be glad they knew. Make your own decisions after you know the facts.
As of late, I have avoided eating any meat, dairy and eggs. I prefer not to label, so I’m just calling it that. This is such a controversial subject, my goodness. Hope I didn’t offend anyone. Just have to say what is very important to me.
