Make sure you wear chemical free, naturally dyed organic hemp slippers when you go to the yoga studio.

wittingly or unwittingly, that's indeed so clever of you, keeping the secret - not calling it organic hot yoga clap

Did only the fruits, veggies (sweet potatoes for carbs), nuts, greek yogurt and almond milk thing y'day in the name of siva ratri. Loved it! I've decided to do that every other day: tue, thu and sat from now on. I may add some sprouts and whole cereal (oats, ragi malt, barley) to the above diet. And yeah, going to keep a watch on the quantities too.

sundays are going to be freak out days. no holds, no bars. hog on! The other two days (mon, wed) are going to be 'watch what you eat' days.

I am sure it tasted better as well. the sample I had had a different color but when I did a Google search for Andhra sesame murukku, I was able to find such recipes.

anyway, I made shahi paneer over the weekend and it turned out decent, I got the recipe from here

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/shahi-paneer/

one more thing I treasure from my mom's trunk is her hand written collection of recipes. whenever I cook following the instructions, it makes me feel like she's around. creepy perhaps for a few :-)

egg curry with just eggwhites? now that's the day i will stop eating it.

Anyway, the amount of oil, etc that goes in making egg or any curry - they should be a nono if statin is what u worry about, no?

I like my dosa ultra-fermented but plain with fresh coconut chutney. otherwise, it's too complicated.

Good. You are eating naturally enhanced pranic thing that will improve your pranashakthi. The other guy is eating negatively enhanced pranic substance.

(Sorry. For reference, refer to the other thread about offering chocolate bars to God. I got this from that, and I'm practicing it to use it on someone.)

Going to Amber India for lunch. I had been there yesterday too. They had quinoa pakoda which seemed like a mix of besan, quinoa and onion. I hope they have a different dessert today, sooji halwa was underwhelming.

They have a nice color when ground. Also, red onion has more punch than white or yellow onion - IMO.
