Today's workout was cleaning the kitchen and repairing the vacuum. It counts if its over two stories and its hot enough to make you sweat; right? Probably not but I am embracing something I would have never done in my younger more testosterone driven days. I'm taking a recovery day to make sure that my initial push yesterday doesn't hurt me and everything gets a chance to heal. So today was for attending to important things like finishing my application for nursing school, playing words with friends and reading World War Z.
I have nothing fabulous to write up from the kitchen. Actually it was a culinary failure from start to finish. I cook a lot of Lao/Thai food and this cook book said I could bypass the traditional bamboo steamer and cook the rice in an electric steamer. I didn't believe it but I gave it a try. The book was wrong. About a week ago I had prepped an Indian chicken dish not thinking how it would fare sitting in the fridge for a week with pineapple chunks. The acid pretty much liquified the chicken. So dinner was a mad rush to McD's for the kids.
I did try making some of my own protein bars at home figuring it might be a decent way to save some money - only to learn that some things are worth the money. I've been watching Michael Korey Fitness on Youtube and got the recipe from his videos. The homemade protein bar was simple but it was just too bland.
He does have a recipe for banana based ice cream that I am going to try tonight. I did try it last week in the blender and it was flavorable but I had to add too much liquid so that it ended up like a really thick milk shake instead of ice cream. It was the only way to get it out of the blender. Tonight I am going to try it in the Cuisinart.
