i'm gonna be buff!

[thendanisays]

mikkei-it was freaking awesome! and we ate waaaaay too much of it!
lobsteriffic-the rice is a mixture of jicima, pine nuts, salt, rice wine vinegar and agave. you pulse it in a food procceser until its "grainy" like rice then dehydrate the whole mess until its sticky.


So i couldnt fall asleep last night to save my life until about 2:30 am. Needless to say, I am exhausted and the gym will not be happening this morning. I have to work all day and then giacomo and i are having a little celebration for joey's (our dachshund) second birthday! The little guy is growing up!!!! I know, we're silly. oh well.

[hsorlando]

Well you've got to be silly sometimes, or life gets boring.
Never had sushi, vegetarian, or otherwise. I don't really like slimy, soft food.

[mikkei]

I'm definitely going to try that rice recipe! I've tried "bloomed wild rice" before, but it was a little too crunchy. Jicama is a wise choice. Never thought of that one.

[aluck]

Sounds delicious. When I can, thinking about trying a raw diet..

OH yeah you left after we had a raw sushi night during VV08. Sushi isn't slimy, not that I remembered
Giacomo and Dani prepared this dinner so amazing. Actually anything they make is so freaking fantastic !!!

[LocalBrada]

Darn you might inspire yet another addition to my signature.

[thendanisays]

i am so sick! its the weirdest thing. its just a headache but it is absolutely debilitating. it hurts to move, and i have taken advil (which i rarely do unless i'm in a LOT of pain) and drank a bunch of caffiene, lots of sleep (i'm talking like 12 hours), drinking lots of water, hot bath....i give up.....sigh.

anyway-here was yesterdays workout. i may just force myself to the gym today anyway. for whatever reason the headache subsided when i was on the elliptical yesterday morning.

i was just talking to giacomo about how if i could get a really good trap and neck rub-down i think it would go away, but alas, we are no good at these things. wish you were closer girlie.

walked to the gym and did thirty minutes on some strange cardio machine (part elliptical/part stepper???) and was sweating WAY more than usual--probably due to being sick and decided it was probably better to lay off the weights for the evening. guess i'll be back there bright and early in the a.m.

Did it help your headache at all this time?
