It has been so lovely to wake up to temps. only being 76 degrees these last few days. Still "thick" outside with our version of humidity but slightly cooler temps. are welcome. It cracks me up that you can tell the humidity factor by the width & curl of my hair.
I've been busy in the kitchen lately. I broiled up some chicken thighs, boiled some country ribs (still need to baste & grill 'em with sauce) and made a huge batch of quinoa salad. My recipe for the quinoa salad is on my recipe page but I did make a couple of changes to it. One being instead of the yellow & orange peppers I used a large cucumber and I omitted the dried mint (mainly 'cuz I was out!). Tastes so yummy, cool & refreshing. I actually had a couple of helpings for dinner last night. That's right, that was all I had for dinner. It's really pretty simple to make, although there's alot of chopping involved.
And... watch out when handling the jalapeno pepper. Just make sure you have some yogurt or sour cream on hand in case you get some on your hands. I used the veggie bag from the grocery store over my hand. It worked great! You really don't want to touch any part of yourself if you do. If it happens the yogurt'll stop the searing pain deriving from the no-no. I promise, it works.
I'm getting in a few extra cardio workouts this week. Sadly, they're on a stationary bike. I really loath those things but with my knee it's about all I can do pain-free. I need to get some more cardio in, even though I'm teaching a bit more than I was lately, I still need more. I'm hoping to get to start taking some dance classes again these upcoming weeks. That'll make up for the bike work. I said make-up for not replace, I'll still be doing that too. Yuck! At least 30 min./workout. gotta

Wow, on a sad note, I just read that the absolutely beautiful Talia Castellano passed away Tuesday. What a brave spirit she was/is. 13 years old and just an amazing girl. RIP Talia. No more pain, just tears of joy.
I'll discuss Neuroma's later this week.
Later folks.
Peace
