<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had pizza tonight. Pizza with sausage and mushrooms. My Husky had lobster tails and shrimp. That was supposed to be my dinner except I left them on the counter to thaw and went to the back room for a few minutes. My wife came home from work and asked me what's for dinner. I told her I was going to grill the lobster tails for us. She asked, looking in the fridge, "Where are they?" "On the counter." I replied. "Where?" "Near the sink." "I don't see them." I came into the kitchen and they weren't there. I looked around and no packages. I looked in the fridge, on the counter again and then around the living room. Walking by the Acadia doors to the back yard, I saw the butcher paper all over the yard. I go out there and low and behold, paper every where but no shrimp or lobster. And by now my dogs were back in the house resting. I should have put them in the fridge 'cause you can never trust a husky.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am foreal sweatin this wok. You should def get one. And now that I'm getting the hang of it, I am woking up something major. Here is my weekly wok tip of the day (huh?): Cook fast and cook hot. Make sure your ingredients are ready to throw in cause when the wok calls, you answer gotdamnit.</p>
<p><strong>Chinese Shrimp Stirfry with Ginger and Brown Rice</strong></p>
<p>1/4 cup of fresh ginger (thin strips)<br />
4 small hot, red peppers, sliced (add more or less depending on your fire mouth)<br />
2 scallions, sliced, keep the bottom half separate from the top half, but you will be using both<br />
1 carrot julienned<br />
1 bunch of baby bok choy (can't find baby bok choy? 1/2 of a mama), chop the stems, slice the greens and keep each pile separate<br />
1/2 lb of medium-sized shrimp, peeled and de-shitted<br />
1/8 cup of tamari (have I mentioned that tamari is the same as soy?)<br />
2 cups of cooked brown rice<br />
veg or peanut oil for frying<br />
sesame oil for garnish</p>
<p>marinade for the shrimp:<br />
1 tsp of chinese 5 spice<br />
1 tbs of tamari<br />
1 tbs of tomato paste</p>
<p>This serves 2 with 20 minutes of prep (if you're peeling your own shrimp), and 10 minutes of cooking. (That's 30 minutes total. der.)</p>
<p>First, prepare your shreemps. Peel and do what you gotta do. Mix the chinese spice, 1 tbs of tamari and tomato paste. Coat the shrimp and let it site while you chop the veg. When you're all prepped, you're ready to heat the wok.</p>
<p><a href="http://moremeat.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/dscf0856.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-336" title="Carrots, Shrimp, Bok Choy Ginger, Hoy Pepper, Scallion, Tamari, Beer" src="http://moremeat.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/dscf0856.jpg" alt="" width="460" height="345" /></a></p>
<p>Heat your wok, add the veg or peanut oil and heat till it smokes. Add the ginger and stir furiously. 30 seconds later, add the hot peppers (this may make you cough). 30 seconds later, add the whites of the bok choy. Your wok's heat may have reduced a bit, so make sure it is as hot as it was when you started. When it is, add the carrots. 1 minute later, add the whites of the scallions.  Now, add your cooked rice. Make sure your wok is hot, the rice should be crisping in some areas, but because you are stirring like mad, it won't stick. Add the green of the bok choy and when wilted, create a whole in the middle of the grub and add the shrimp.</p>
<p><a href="http://moremeat.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/dscf0862.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-337" title="Chinese Shrimp Stirfry with Ginger anf Brown Rice" src="http://moremeat.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/dscf0862.jpg" alt="" width="460" height="345" /></a></p>
<p>Stir the shrimp in the middle while it cooks. As soon as the shrimp is done (about 3 minutes), stir everything together, add the remaining tamari and dish up.  Garnish with greens of the scallions and sesame oil. Eat with cold cold beer.</p>

<div class="content_edition print"><span class="exclusive"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Web edition</span></span> : <a class="anonymous" title="Thursday, October 9th, 2008">Thursday, October 9th, 2008</a></div>
<div class="content_summary print">Fossilized chain formations reveal community behavior</div>
<div class="content_summary print">A new fossil find reveals that in an ancient arthropod species, no animal was an island.</div>
<div class="content_content print" style="font-size:12px;color:#000;">
<p class="MsoNormal">The discovery of 525-million-year-old fossils belonging to a new species of arthropod shows that these animals formed communal chains never before seen in fossilized invertebrates, scientists report in the Oct. 10 <em>Science</em>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">These arthropods, a genus that includes lobsters, beetles and tarantulas, were found in sturdy chain configurations in southern China’s Chengjiang Lagerstätte, a treasure trove of fossils often compared to Canada’s Burgess Shale. In the chain formations, each animal faced the same way, with its tail latched onto the carapace of the individual behind. This unique fossil configuration provides evidence that these arthropods did not act as solitary beings, the authors report.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nigel Hughes, a paleobiologist from the University of California, Riverside comments that these types of finds provide snapshot scenes of "normal" life.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Of the millions of fossils, the chances of getting an occurrence where we can determine collective behavior is quite rare,” says coauthor Derek Siveter of the University of Oxford in England. He and his colleagues found 22 complete or partial chains, but only one solitary specimen.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“As far as I know, the group behavior exhibited by these fossils is nearly unknown in modern invertebrates, and has never been demonstrated in fossil invertebrates,” says geobiologist Anthony Martin of Emory University in Atlanta.<strong> </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong></strong>Modern-day animals are known to display collective behavior. Siveter points to spiny lobsters in the Caribbean that form trains in which the antennae of one lobster grasp the carapace of the next individual in line. This formation is thought to aid in feeding, molting or migration following a storm. But unlike those lobster trains, these fossil arthropod chains, dated to the early Cambrian, appear to have been almost unbreakable. The animals collectively show signs of twisting, turning, bending and telescoping, all without coming apart.<span>  </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Based on the twists and turns of these fossilized chains, Siveter and his colleagues postulate that the chains may have floated in the early Cambrian ocean.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But the researchers still don’t know why these arthropods linked themselves together. Feeding behavior is an unlikely reason since each individual’s mouth is covered by the tail of the preceding arthropod. And it is also unlikely that being in a chain made it easier to reproduce. Because other types of fossilized arthropods were known to migrate, the scientists’ best guess is that these chains may have provided members protection against predators while on a long migration — in other words, strength in numbers.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“When you’re dealing with 525-million-year–old animals, it’s not like math where five plus five is ten. There are a lot of interesting discussions to have,” explains Siveter.<span>  </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The purpose of these chains is something scientists will puzzle over for a long time, but one thing is clear: These ancient animals did not act alone.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“This find provides extraordinary insights into the early evolution of group behaviors, possibly representing a combination of reproductive and anti-predatory strategies,” says Martin. “In short, this find should cause all who are interested in fossil behavior to reconsider what we know about group behavior.”</p>

<p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p>
<p>Examples that indicate collective behavior in the fossil record are rare. A group association of specimens that belong to a previously unknown arthropod from the <span>Chengjiang</span> Lagerstätte, China, provides evidence that such behavior was present in the early Cambrian (about 525 million years ago), coincident with the earliest extensive diversification of the Metazoa, the so-called Cambrian explosion event. The chainlike form of these specimens is unique for any arthropod, fossil or living, and most likely represents behavior associated with migration.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>well, tonight I decided to make an omelet. I made this a while back, but I forgot how exactly I made it, so I found the original recipe that I went from, and I think made some similar modifications that I did last time. also I think last time I had the correct monterey jack cheese. Sadly right now my cheese stock is very depleted, so I had to use colby/jack marble cheese. The omelet still came out wonderful, but I think plain jack would have put the bar up a bit to something even more amazing.</p>
<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />
2 large eggs<br />
1 Tbs. butter<br />
¼ c. cooked shrimp<br />
¼ c. Monterey Jack Cheese<br />
1 medium green onion<br />
½ tsp. dried parsley<br />
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />
1. beat eggs in a bowl<br />
2. melt butter in skillet over medium heat<br />
3. pour eggs into skillet<br />
4. use spatela to lift edge of omelet and let uncooked portions underneath to cook<br />
5. spead cheese, shrimp, green onions and parsley on one side of the egg<br />
6. fold in half and transfer to plate</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That's right - I packed up my shiny new Mr Bento this morning with a lovely lunch to take to work. </p>
<p><a href="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/food-163.jpg"><img src="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/food-163.jpg?w=510" alt="" title="food-163" width="510" height="338" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-252" /></a></p>
<p>Clockwise, from top left:</p>
<li>mushroom risotto (surprise, surprise</li>
<li>corn on the cob &#38; grilled shrimp</li>
<li>plain, non-fat yogurt</li>
<li>a sliced up kiwiw, wedge of Laughing Cow cheese, and the other half of the Cashew Cookie Larabar</li>
<p>And look, even when I pack it all up in it's fancy-pants carrying case, I can still fit a can of Diet Coke in the pocket! Perfect!</p>
<p><a href="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/food-166.jpg"><img src="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/food-166.jpg?w=510" alt="" title="food-166" width="510" height="767" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-253" /></a></p>
<p>I filled the outer canister with an ice pack while I was preparing lunch, so that it would chill it down to keep my lunch cold. And it worked really well. My yogurt was a bit warmer than I'd like, but not runny or anything like it had been sitting out. I'd think about packing it in the bottom dish instead (the one the risotto is in) to keep it really cold in future, but the top dish is just the perfect amount of yogurt. Oh well, I still think it worked out really well. I kept thinking it wasn't that much food, but when I put the risotto, shrimp, and corn on a plate to heat in the microwave, it filled the plate. Maybe I'd always just been taking too much food to work? This thing could do wonder for portion control! And I didn't actually get around to eating the Laughing Cow or the Larabar. </p>
<p>When I got home from work, I had a nibble on some blue corn tortilla chips, and a slice of cheddar. I wanted salmon for dinner, but couldn't decide on a salmon burger or salmon salad. I wasn't really feeling the salmon salad, so burger it was.</p>
<p>Whole wheat bun, salmon burger, red onion, lettuce, low-fat mayo, mustard, dill pickle relish.</p>
<p><a href="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/food-170.jpg"><img src="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/food-170.jpg?w=510" alt="" title="food-170" width="510" height="338" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-254" /></a></p>
<p>As a compromise, I went with a side salad of romaine lettuce, cucumber, shredded carrot, green onion, celery, yogurt honey mustard dressing, and pumpkin seeds.</p>
<p><a href="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/food-169.jpg"><img src="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/food-169.jpg?w=510" alt="" title="food-169" width="510" height="338" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-255" /></a></p>
<p>I added some more of those tasty blue corn tortilla chips with salsa and guacamole.</p>
<p><a href="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/food-168.jpg"><img src="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/food-168.jpg?w=510" alt="" title="food-168" width="510" height="338" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-256" /></a></p>
<p>The cat really wanted to share the burger with me - she has a thing for fish. I even caught the monkey up on the counter licking my George Foreman grill. Tsk tsk. Don't worry, I gave it a good wash! And that salad combo? Thumbs up! I am in love with this new dressing. </p>
<p>Spent the evening on the phone with my mom, then watching America's Next Top Model. Also got in a sessions of my pilates abs dvd, and a bit of wii! Then it was snack time - some Special K Vanilla Almond.</p>
<p><a href="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/food-171.jpg"><img src="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/food-171.jpg?w=510" alt="" title="food-171" width="510" height="338" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-257" /></a></p>
<p>I think I'll finish watching CSI NY and then call it a night. I get to sleep in a bit tomorrow though, because I'm going to an Microsoft Access training course for work. I'm sure it will be every bit as exciting as the first one I took. Can you just feel the sarcasm? Hope you all had a good Wednesday! Only 2 days til the long weekend - Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada!</p>

<description><![CDATA[This week&#8217;s Blogger Secret Ingredient is polenta, a fantastic ingredient picked by RhodeyGirl.]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week's Blogger Secret Ingredient is <strong>polenta</strong>, a fantastic ingredient picked by <a href="http://rhodeygirltests.com/2008/10/07/week-6-of-the-bsi-blogger-secret-ingredient-party/" target="_blank">RhodeyGirl</a>. I like polenta but do not have much experience making it. Stupidly, I decided to experiment with it anyway and turn it into a pizza crust. The results did not look like a pizza, but were delicious nonetheless!</p>
<p>I wanted to make just a single serving, so I boiled 3/4 cup of water and whisked in 1/4 cup cornmeal. Following RhodeyGirl's tip, I whisked the entire time, eventually switching to a wooden spoon as it thickened. I meant to season the polenta while it was on the stove, but I forgot and had to mix in the following after removing it from heat:</p>
<ul>
<li>Garlic powder</li>
<li>Basil</li>
<li>Oregano</li>
<li>Chopped sun-dried tomatoes</li>
</ul>
<p>I spread it out in a casserole dish and put it in the refrigerator to chill.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://seejessrun.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/dinner_10-07-08.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-824" title="dinner_10-07-08" src="http://seejessrun.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/dinner_10-07-08.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Next, I preheated the oven to 450*. I sprayed a skillet and added a Laughing Cow cheese wedge, thinking it would melt. Instead, it started to burn and get all gross. I immediately added baby spinach and mixed it quickly with the cheese. I kept adding more baby spinach as it wilted, and eventually added another wedge of cheese and a little jarred minced garlic. After most of the spinach wilted, I added sliced mushrooms and zucchini for a few minutes.</p>
<p>I cooked a small amount of chicken on my George Forman, but it was a really <strong>tiny</strong> piece, so I also added some pre-cooked frozen shrimp.</p>
<p>I topped my polenta crust with my creamy veggie mixture, chicken, and shrimp and baked for 10 minutes. Then I topped the pizza with fresh mozzarella, grated fresh parmesan, and bagged fat-free mozzarella. I put it back in the oven for another 10 minutes or so.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://seejessrun.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/dinner2_10-07-08.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-823" title="dinner2_10-07-08" src="http://seejessrun.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/dinner2_10-07-08.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Looks like a pizza, yes? But, the crust never got crispy enough, and I couldn't get it out of the dish without it getting all floppy and gooey. I meant to take a picture of this, but apparently I was too busy stuffing my face with the cheesy, pizza-TASTING meal. It was still good!</p>
<p>So, maybe I should have pan-fried the polenta before baking? Any tips? I want a polenta crust, darn it!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is it bad that I'm already hurting for titles for my posts? I blame it on the cold, it's messing with my brain. Probably why I had serious focusing problems while I was doing my reading for school. </p>
<p>Speaking of school, I just found out that 2 people I used to skate with back in the day are in my class. Actually, I think I thought BOTH of them learn to skate before they were figure skating. Makes me feel kinda old. </p>
<p>So, I decided to try out one of those infamous Larabars this afternoon. I chose the Cashew Cookie.</p>
<p><a href="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/food-151.jpg"><img src="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/food-151.jpg?w=510" alt="" title="food-151" width="510" height="338" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-235" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/food-152.jpg"><img src="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/food-152.jpg?w=510" alt="" title="food-152" width="510" height="338" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-236" /></a></p>
<p>So, I figured I'd have half. I took a bite, and it's not bad. I didn't think it was overly cashew-y tasting though. I dunno, I can't say I would go out of my way to buy this flavour anyways. But I do really like the fact that it has so few ingredients, so I would like to try a few more and see if perhaps another flavour floats my boat.</p>
<p>I chopped up half of the bar, and put it into my yogurt (a mix of plain and green tea vanilla).</p>
<p><a href="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/food-153.jpg"><img src="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/food-153.jpg?w=510" alt="" title="food-153" width="510" height="338" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-237" /></a></p>
<p>I figure I'll use the other half in some more yogurt or oatmeal or something.</p>
<p>I took out some rather large shrimp to grill up this evening, and served it along side some of that mushroom risotto and half a corn on the cob.</p>
<p><a href="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/food-156.jpg"><img src="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/food-156.jpg?w=510" alt="" title="food-156" width="510" height="338" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-238" /></a></p>
<p>Oh, how I love those shrimp. So tasty. I quickly marinated them in lemon juice, canola oil, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and pepper. And I made sure to make extra to take for lunch tomorrow. Yum!</p>
<p>I had a helper while I was trying to do the dishes this evening:</p>
<p><a href="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/sienna-158.jpg"><img src="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/sienna-158.jpg?w=510" alt="" title="sienna-158" width="510" height="767" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-239" /></a></p>
<p>She has a weird obsession with me doing the dishes. She always has to sit on the counter or windowsill while I'm washing them, and waits until the sink is empty, then sits in it. She's weird, what can I say?</p>
<p>Needed a bit of a snack/treat this evening. I wanted chocolate, but alas, there is only one piece left, and it's orange and chocolate, which I hate. So I threw some ice, milk, vanilla protein powder, cocoa powder, and a bit of honey into the good ol' Magic Bullet for a frothy treat.</p>
<p><a href="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/food-159.jpg"><img src="http://frenchfriestoflaxseeds.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/food-159.jpg?w=510" alt="" title="food-159" width="510" height="338" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-240" /></a></p>
<p>Okay, so the picture sucks, but you get the gist. Now it's time to finish watching 90210, then hit up those books again. Night!</p>

<p class="first"><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7655358.stm"><strong>The "deepest ever" living fish have been discovered, scientists believe.</strong></a></p>
<p>A UK-Japan team found the 17-strong shoal at depths of 7.7km (4.8 miles) in the Japan Trench in the Pacific - and captured the deep sea animals on film.</p>
<p>The scientists have been using remote-operated landers designed to withstand immense pressures to comb the world's deepest depths for marine life.</p>
<p>Monty Priede from the University of Aberdeen said the 30cm-long (12in), deep-sea fish were surprisingly "cute". <!-- E SF --></p>

<p><!-- E IBOX -->The researchers have been looking at the Hadal zone - the area of ocean that sits between 6,000 and 11,000m (20,000-36,000ft). It consists of very narrow trench systems, most of which are found around the Pacific Rim.</p>
<p>The researchers are able to explore them using specially designed remote operated vehicles that are fitted out with cameras.</p>
<p>Professor Priede, director of Oceanlab, said: "There is the question of how do animals live at all at these kinds of depths.</p>
<p>"There are three problems: the first is food supply, which is very remote and has to come from 8km (5 miles) above.</p>
<p>"There is very high pressure - they have to have all sorts of physiological modifications, mainly at the molecular level. <!-- S IIMA --></p>

<p><!-- E IIMA -->"And the third problem is that these deep trenches are in effect small islands in the wide abyss and there is a question of whether these trenches are big enough to support thriving endemic populations."</p>
<p>But this species appears to have overcome these issues, added Professor Priede.</p>
<p>"We have spotted these creatures at depths of 7,703m (25,272ft) - and we have actually found a massive group of them.</p>
<p>"And this video is pretty tantalising - the fact that there are 17 of them implies that they could well be a family group, begging the question of whether some form of parental care exists for these fish."</p>
<p><strong>Vibration sensors</strong></p>
<p>The researchers said they were surprised by the fish's behaviour.</p>
<p>"We certainly thought, deep down, fish would be relatively inactive, saving energy as much as possible, and so on," Professor Priede told BBC News. <!-- S IIMA --></p>

<p><!-- E IIMA -->"But when you see the video, the fish are rushing around, feeding accurately, snapping at prey coming past."</p>
<p>Because the fish live in complete darkness, they use vibration receptors on their snouts to navigate the ocean depths and to locate food.</p>
<p>Professor Priede added: "Nobody has seen fish alive before at these depths - only pickled in museums - and by the time they come up from the depths they look in a pretty sorry state.</p>
<p>"But these fish are actually very cute."</p>
<p>Alan Jamieson added that he believed the team would find more fish during their next expedition in March 2009, which would probe the ocean between depths of 6,000m and 9,000m.</p>
<p>He told BBC News: "Nobody has really been able to look at these depths before - I think we will see some fish living much deeper."</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v123/cinnabun/iheartfood/1cookinglightlogo.jpg" align="left" vspace="10" hspace="10">  Its been more than a week since my last Cooking Light Night huh?  <i>::hangs head in shame::</i></p>
<p>But honestly I have been cooking light though.  I've been making variations of my <a href="http://iheartfood4thought.wordpress.com/2008/09/24/cooking-light-night-4/"><u>margherita pizza</u></a> by adding chicken or using dried basil instead of fresh.  I think I've made it at least 5x now.  Its <i>that</i> good!</p>
<p>But tonight hubs wasn't feeling the pizza vibe so he requested something else.  He wasn't picky about what so I took that as wifey's choice.  Sa-weeet!  I have been craving Thai food for days.  I love Thai food so I did a quick search in my Cooking Light cookbook for my favorite Thai dish - pad thai!  I found the vegetarian version with tofu but decided to add in some protein with a little shrimp.  YUM!  </p>
<p>Also wanna say thanks to Nancy of <a href="http://noe847.blogspot.com"><u>The Dogs Eat The Crumbs</u></a> and Audrey of <a href="http://foodfrombooks.blogspot.com/"><u>Food from Books</u></a> for participating in Cooking Light Nights with me!  I am having so much fun reading about your CL nights too!  If any other readers are using my CL logo, please let me know!  I'd love to see what you're cooking...</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes all you need for a satisfying meal is a big bowl full of salad.  I buy Romaine lettuce in heads and wash and chop it at home. After a short spin in the salad spinner it goes into zip lock bags. Sometimes I add other greens; arugula, frissee... whatever is looking good at the market. Usually I have cabbage and carrot shreds to toss into my salads too.</p>
<p>I don't stop there. I like to add all kinds of stuff to my salads. Garbanzo beans and jarred garlic mushrooms are big favorites of mine.  In the summer I add seasonal veggies and in the winter I'll add artichoke hearts and canned mandarines.</p>
<p>Last night's salad was a bit different. I wanted salad, but I wanted something with an Asian flavor to it, and I also wanted fruit...  So I filled a bowl with mixed greens and carrot shreds, sliced half of a Bartlett pear, chopped one green onion and drizzled the whole thing with a ginger vinaigrette dressing. YUM!!</p>
<p><strong>Dressing:</strong><br />
fresh grated ginger<br />
dried shallots<br />
rice wine vinegar<br />
juice of 1/4 lime<br />
soy sauce<br />
olive oil<br />
sesame oil<br />
pinch sugar</p>
<p>The gingery dressing was perfect with the sweetness of the pears and the bite of the onion. I didn't measure the ingredients, I just poured from each bottle what looked (to me) like a good amount of each. After tasting, I added just a pinch of sugar to cut the acidity a little. Excellent!  If I had been hungrier, I might have added some grilled shrimp to the salad.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It took me awhile to learn my lesson of good boy vs bad boy. I always normally go for the bad boy. "Bad boy" meaning either the liar, the cheater, the jerk, the asshole, the manipulator, or the loser. Sometimes it could mean all of the above. </p>
<p>Omar had run over my heart with his fiesta orange colored clown car. He mocked my love. But for some reason, I was always really, really nice to him regardless. He was applying for another job and asked for my help in putting together a sales binder he needed. I used to only wish good upon him, so of course, I had no problem with helping. (Note: When I say I helped, I really did the book myself). His interview was coming up the next day (in Chicago) and he had to go to some dinner for his current job, so I said...just leave the stuff with me, I'll handle it while you're at you're dinner and when it's over you can come back over and we'll finish it up.</p>
<p>He was so gracious he said he'd bring me back dinner since I'd be working on his report binder. </p>
<p>A few hours later he returns to my house, hands me a to-go box...and as I excitedly open it to see what's inside, two little lonely grilled shrimp sat in there. He gave me his leftovers. Which he didn't even really have much left over to give me. </p>
<p>Had I not spent hours working on that stupid binder, I would have shred all of the reports in my paper shredder, dumped the shreds into the to-go box and told him to-go to hell.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Normally I regret asking a waitress at a restaurant "What's good?"</p>
<p>It can make for a slightly uncomfortable situation if they rave about a certain dish and you steer clear of it as if their recommendation is somehow not worthy.</p>
<p>I uttered those words and as they left my lips I was thinking to myself "why do you do that Joey?"  Anyway in this particular instance the girl behind the counter at Andiamos suggested the Fusilli alla Vodka and it sounded good so I went with it.  I don't know the girl's name behind the counter, but THANK YOU!</p>
<p>It was OUTSTANDING!  I brought it home and the Mrs who is not a pasta person (don't ask) tried it and started wolfing it down.  She couldn't get enough.</p>
<p>Andiamos is starting to become a regular stop for me for great food (not just good) at very reasonable prices.</p>

I always have so much fun going there. I came home with a whole cart load of goodies - mushrooms and tofu as well as some delicious noodles.</p>
<p>Green Tea Soba Noodles!! They were just so pretty in the package, I couldn't resist getting them.  But how should they be prepared?</p>
<p>I started the water boiling for the noodles, then sauteed some shrimp and onions with a little oil and soy sauce. I then added lots of lime zest and fresh ginger. I added the broccoli spears at the last minute.  I think the pink shrimp and dark green broccoli against the paler green noodles is stunning. And dinner was delicious!</p>
<p>Not surprisingly, my daughter scarfed down her meal (all her favorite things - broccoli, noodles and shrimp) but shocking to me was that Hubby <em>liked the noodles</em>!  I thought for sure he would say they were "weird". Yay!!  The only thing I think I would do differently is to add just a little more oil - the noodles were just a tad dry.</p>

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, in a deep skillet add 1T olive oil and 1T butter to the pan.  Gently saute the shallot until it starts to become translucent.  Add the garlic and cook 1 minute longer.  S&#38;P the cleaned and dried shrimp and add to the pan.  Cook until just done (pink and the tails have curled).  Remove everything from pan and set aside to keep warm.</p>
<p>Add remaining olive oil and butter to the pan.  Pour in wine and lemon juice.  Gently boil for a few minutes.  Add the parsley and red pepper flakes.  When the pasta is ready, with tongs, transfer it to the sauce pan.  You want some of the pasta water to help make the sauce...no need to drain it completely.</p>
<p>Re-introduce the shrimp mixture to the pan, toss to coat and serve immediately.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Friday night I  had a scheduled appointment with a personal trainer - you get 3 free sessions at the gym I go to.. so I thought, why not. Most of the time was spent doing a health evaluation, and then 15 minutes of exercises. Nothing too crazy, but my abs and arms are sore from the exercises. I think I just need someone to push me in my stength training routine, or actually I simply need to aquire a stength training routine. When I work out I spend most of the time running or walking on the treadmill and then I causally walk around deciding what machines I want to do for strength. Then I do some abs, but I don't really push myself. Which is why I think a trainer would be awesome. From the first session I realized that my core is weak and that is the reason I can't lower my legs for leg lifts without my back arching and lifting off the ground, so I need to do modified ab exercises until my core is stronger. I also need to mix up my cardio - I'm training for a half marathon so I will continue running but on my cross training days I want to take spinning or do the arc trainer. I have another appointment soon, I'll keep you all posted.</p>
<p>I had a great Saturday - nothing was planned- I woke up around 9 but Isaac and I stayed busy pretty much all day. I started cleaning early- took out the recycling, the trash, cleaned the hard wood floors, and put away clean dishes. I had a bowl of oats for breakfast.. same ol same ol, no picture - it'd be boring anyway. </p>
<p>My morning snack on the other hand is nothing but boring... Pumpkin Muffins! I used Trader Joe's pumpkin bread and muffin mix. They are so good, not too sweet and very pumpkiny. I totally thought about subbing the oil for apple sauce <em>AFTER I had poured it in with the eggs. </em>I didn't want to waste the eggs, I totally would have just tossed them but they're expensive - we buy them from a student at Isaac's school who has his own chickens, although I'm pretty sure his fam helps him out raising the chickens, as he's in second grade. Needless to say the muffins have oil, which is fine. I still ate one and it was delish.<span style="text-decoration:underline;"> Isaac had 3.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://eatingbirdfood.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/100_1891.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1029" title="100_1891" src="http://eatingbirdfood.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/100_1891.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>I can't quite figure out why my muffins came out as cone heads. Does any baking expert know why this happened?</p>
<p>I also made something else new yesterdayy... PESTO, I had never attempted to made this deliciousness before - but we had a ton of basil to use up from our multiple plants so I attempted to make some. It was so easy- I used the Cooking Light Classic pesto recipe as a base and ended up with this:</p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>1  tablespoon chopped walnuts</li>
<li>1  garlic clove, peeled</li>
<li>1.5  tablespoons  extra-virgin olive oil</li>
<li>2  cups  basil leaves (about 2 ounces)</li>
<li>1/4  cup  (1 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese</li>
<li>1/8  teaspoon  salt</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>I put the garlic and nuts into my mini food processor and pulsed. Added the olive oil, pulsed 3 times. Then added the remaining ingredients and pulsed until mixed. I opened the food processor once to do a stir with a spoon to make sure the items on the sides were being included as well. And ta-da, from plant to pesto.</p>
<p><a href="http://eatingbirdfood.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/100_1895.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1034" title="100_1895" src="http://eatingbirdfood.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/100_1895.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="410" /></a></p>
<p>Which resulted in a delicious dinner of pesto pasta with squash, zucchini and shrimpies. </p>
<p><a href="http://eatingbirdfood.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/100_1889.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1031" title="100_1889" src="http://eatingbirdfood.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/100_1889.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>

<p>We went to Starbucks after dinner, I got a non-fat cappuccino and we rented Bee Movie. As usual I fell asleep during the movie, but not before I ate a bag of kettle corn by myself. I love kettle corn. And, the movie was really cute so I need to finish it today at some point. </p>
<p>This Sunday morning I woke up, ate some oats</p>
<p><a href="http://eatingbirdfood.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/100_1898.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1032" title="100_1898" src="http://eatingbirdfood.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/100_1898.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://eatingbirdfood.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/100_1898.jpg"></a>I lounged around the house, doing laundry and baking some butternut squash. Mid morning I had 1 scoop of protein powder with 3 oz of H20.</p>
<p><a href="http://eatingbirdfood.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/100_1900.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1033" title="100_1900" src="http://eatingbirdfood.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/100_1900.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>I'm hoping to make something tonight to enter into the <a href="http://eatingbender.wordpress.com" target="_blank">Blogger Secret Ingredient</a> competition. Hopefully it's not too late.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well well - the earlier part of this day definitely trumped the end of it. I hate getting the silent treatment. But I managed to salvage what I could of the evening and enjoy myself in spite of it all.</p>
<p>For my birthday dinner Mom made a shrimp stir fry with veggies and rice at my request. We also had fruit salad on the side with pears, bananas, and grapes (no pic).</p>
<p><a href="http://amandasgoodeats.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/img-3703.jpg"><img style="border-right:0;border-top:0;border-left:0;border-bottom:0;" height="350" alt="IMG_3703" src="http://amandasgoodeats.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/img-3703-thumb.jpg" width="465" border="0"></a> </p>
<p>Just in case you all don't know what rice looks like. Lol...</p>
<p><a href="http://amandasgoodeats.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/img-3704.jpg"><img style="border-right:0;border-top:0;border-left:0;border-bottom:0;" height="351" alt="IMG_3704" src="http://amandasgoodeats.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/img-3704-thumb.jpg" width="466" border="0"></a> </p>
<p>After dinner we headed over to Fraiche yogurt in Palo Alto for some frozen yogurt. I got soy with ollalieberry puree. It was yummy.</p>
<p><a href="http://amandasgoodeats.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/img-3713.jpg"><img style="border-right:0;border-top:0;border-left:0;border-bottom:0;" height="343" alt="IMG_3713" src="http://amandasgoodeats.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/img-3713-thumb.jpg" width="457" border="0"></a> </p>
<p>I did not sleep very well last night at all, so now I'm extra tired, especially after this long day. But at least that means I know I'll sleep well tonight.</p>
