Food experiments
Feb. 6th, 2010 06:59 pmI've done a few things with food this week which I'd never tried before and made me very happy. And since all of you have to eat food sometime, I thought I'd share!
I made some roasted beets for a salad. I didn't like the salad, and had lots of beet slices leftover. After they cooled I added balsamic vinegar. YUM. The...balsamicness of the vinegar offset the sweetness of the beet very well. Would highly recommend.
Tonight for dinner I grilled a piece of frozen tilapia (with some spices and lime juice on it) and put it on a piece of bread with spinach. It was so delicious. I'd had tilapia before, but mostly as a formal main dish and all. This was the first time I'd tried it flaked on a sandwich. The texture was perfect, it cooked up in three minutes, and it was so soft and satisfying. I think I'm going to have it for lunch again tomorrow.
On a slightly different note, I am pleased that I'm getting in better shape. I'm doing the same routine, but sweating less and all. However. It is most displeasing when I lift weights twice in a row and don't have any hurt the next day. I don't know if I'm progressing faster than I thought, or if I am wussing out of my workouts. Probably the latter.
