More cooking, herbs and exhaustion...
So I've been forced to cook for myself to ensure no sugar gets in my food. The funny thing is, I can go the whole day without sugar cravings but as soon as I get to the evening, it just kills me. It's this intense desire for something I can't give my body (sugar... d-oh what else... heh). It sucks.
Anyway, I posted about the tempeh dish I made, well I also made the tofu spinach samosas yesterday. Of course I had to get frozen spinach cause of the US spinach ordeal - there's no fresh spinach anywhere now. That I know of.
The dough was not as soft as I wanted but I also have to try and avoid white flour, so I used hard/soft whole wheat flour. But the dough was really good though. And the filling was phenomenal. For tofu, that is. It was really good! I crumbled firm wild mushroom and plain tofu (50-50) and added curry, some ground cardamom and coriander seeds, chilly flakes and my Pizzazz herbs/spices blend I got from Dominion. I also added some of my Parmazano "cheese" thingy I got from veganstore.com. And spinach. Man, it was so good.
Today I made (store bought) gnocchi and textured soy slices with my curry-tomato-coconut sauce and steamed organic broccoli. It was also really good.
That sauce works for everything, I swear. And it's just coconut milk, powdered curry, tomato paste, water and some spices. Simple but good.
I have no idea what I'll make tomorrow. I was thinking making a thin whole wheat crust dough pizza with organic pizza sauce and soy "ground" with some vegetables and my Parmazano thing. And oregano. I think that would be really good. Or I can make it with tempeh "sausage crumbles" (I found a recipe on the website Rin gave me (ThePPK). We'll see.
I'm running out of ideas though. And I tried making cookies with stevia yesterday but I hate licorice and stevia tastes just like it. Ugh.
The herbalist told me to stop taking the herbs for today till he adjusts my dose. So today was a bit better.
I am really tired though. Maybe it's the sugar withdrawals and maybe not. I just wanna sleep.
I need more coffee. Mmmm coffee. Without sugar.
I've been having strange and disturbing dreams as always.
I have health psych so I have to go. Blah. Don't want to but what can you do... I did read one chapter yesterday after I dropped the other course. I'm thinking of maybe taking an extra internet course next semester or maybe do all internet courses during the summer. That would be studying but at least from home (mostly) and I can do it anytime. That would work... even though I don't know how those classes work. I should research that. Anyone willing to offer some info?
I also want to find a vocal coach, now that I have mondays off. Maybe work on my voice a bit.
I just don't wanna choose the first one I find in yellow pages. I don't know where to look that would be credible or worthwhile. And they can be expensive too. =S So I don't know.
Well, time to go.
