After a long rainy week, the sun finally came out on Sunday which changed the day from a baking day to a cleaning day (which I would rather do before all the baking anyway).
At first the sun was limited to one small section of the house. Which Leela hogged.
Occasionally Nim would run to the window while I was on the outside and bark at me.
Another reason I put them off is that my fiber and proteins are more than fine, however I am interested in their omega-3 benefits since as a vegan my omega-3/omega-6 ratio is probably not optimal. I also want to play with them as an egg replacer.
They really don't taste like anything to me - although drinking them how would I know? I don't drink bubble tea because of the consistency of the tapioca balls so I am surprised that these didn't bother me in my water.
The Tova shirt is cut out and I even dealt with shortening the sleeve yesterday. It turned out not to be a big deal (at least not so far - we will see how it sews up). But I always get nervous about modifying clothing patterns.
I love that Nim has his own jar of pb (and I love the picture of him eating it).
ReplyDeleteMy cat also manages to hog the sunbeams!
I've never tried chia seeds...they get pretty mixed reviews..
It is just easier to let him have his own jar. :) Between the kong, the dog treats and his mouth I do have some standards...sort of.
DeleteYou know, I just don't know what to say about them. Not all would agree, but I find my diet pretty darn good. The main gain I could see from chia is the Omega 3. To me I don't taste them. I actually don't even really notice them. And I am not sure I am lacking enough to really need them. I haven't noticed some sprout of energy or anything like that. :)
I will add that if I use them as an egg substitute that they would actually nutritionally add something of value over EnerG Egg Replacer so if you were really trying to make every ingredient count...
Deletehey that's how I eat my peanut butter :)
ReplyDeleteI love how the sun changed the baking day to a cleaning day. Doesn't it feel great once all that stuff is done? It's like you can breathe better in the house or something
:) So the sad truth is I have a minimum of 3 "peanut butters" of some variation going at once. The large Adams is general purpose and for public baking so hygiene is respected. Nim usually has one with "Nim" on it. And I usually have one with "Sam." I had just finished it this weekend - it was Peanut-Almond-Cashew butter! It was amazing. I love being able to get in it and not care about the germs. :)
DeleteI felt REALLY good after the cleaning. All the windows have the winter and the cat hair off them.
have you ever tried sunbutter? it's got a very deep flavour, a little goes a long way, which is good because nut/seed butters are so freaking expensive
ReplyDeleteGood morning! Sunbutter is on my list. :) I love all the new things I am branching out and trying right now.
DeleteBut yes. It is expensive.
I love that Nim has his own pb jar! :) Chia seeds are great in oatmeal and other baked goods!
ReplyDeleteIt is important for sanitation purposes. :)
DeleteI am getting much better at how to use them in oatmeal now!
