Gizem Gadol
Mixing metaphors once again. Today was the first day in a while I imbibed a tea-like substance. I swear, even without the caffeine, just drinking an herbal tea, even, makes me feel better. It's a nice little red tea blend Jeff brought back from Hawaii. It has mangoes in it! Yum! Anyway, tasty. Still feeling listless, but I hope to recover from this little bout relatively soon, once my appetite resumes. In the meantime, I'm really a fan of citrus and various legumes, but not necessarily together. I made a light broth out of boiled onions and rutabaga yesterday, but I have to say the root itself wasn't too tasty...it probably needed to be boiled longer. I added some other stuff to the pot as well...the broth was the best part. I figured I'd try something new. At the moment I am making daal, because that's nice and nutritious and sort of easy to digest---mostly protein with some tomatoes for lycopene! Ah ha ha. I crack myself up. Anyway, the gizem gadol continues. We rats are secretive creatures, after all. working on being more productive...slowly. But first, some more tea.
