Things to embrace this weekend

Sat, 25 May 2013 08:31:00 -0400

Handling a FULL physical therapist’s caseload for the first time and SURVIVING (our goal for this rotation is to be successful with a 50-75% caseload, at my site 13 is considered at 100% or ‘normal day’). Sure, I haven’t seen 13 patients everyday and I needed a little reality kick/confidence booster from my CI at one point to destress - but I still did it!
My CI realizing I am an Idealist as well as a deep thinker and doing a lot of outside work for every patient. He’s not going to let me stay that way - but it is nice to know he is grateful for me as I am and trying to challenge me to be gain confidence and efficiency.
Grocery shopping. If you asked me a couple years ago, I’d never guess I’d embrace food as much as I do now. I’m ‘always on a market mission’ and find joy strollin down aisles and reading new recipes.

elkane:

Jack Dawson… Penniless artist who wins a ticket onto Titanic in 1912, attends a first class dinner, develops a taste for the finer things in life, pockets the Heart of the Ocean, survives the sinking, pawns the diamond, spends the following ten years building his wealth and in 1922 moves to West Egg as Jay Gatsby… Millionaire with a shady past and fear of swimming pools.

Genius.

I will still buy these every so often if I see them at a dollar store or other place - no matter how strong that ‘plastic horrific and must be bad for your lungs’ smell is…

My Sunday turned out to be ‘Summer Side Salad’ 3 ways.

Looking back a bit - my family raised me up being a pretty regular church attending Roman Catholic. I was even a catechist for 3 years back in high school. For the past few years, religion has taken a break because I’m not sure what I believe in and profession has taken the front seat. Currently the most important has been the process of finding meaning behind life, humanity, etc. and on top of that, myself.

Flipping this a bit - I do know that when I find myself shopping at a produce stand I’m so ecstatic and grateful to see the gifts our ground gives us every day. It is a Mecca of the pure, colorful and fresh ever changing things in this world. The people I find in these market areas usually share the same simple appreciation. It may not be a ‘church’ attendance, but I feel my weekly store travels refresh my gratitude and bring me a sense of peace.

Greek Feta & Cucumber Salad

Beet & Carrot Slaw

Warning now: Julienned vegetables by hand are not the best idea.

Red Cabbage Slaw

That bowl of purple packs a real punch (recipe via B. Flay) - don’t be fooled by its simplistic look

Battle wounds of the kitchen

Gauze on left pointer finger (for a deep cut after trying trying to ‘personally wipe’ all on diced onions out of the food chopper)
Blister on right pointer finger (from putting so much pressure being put into the knife handle)
Red palms (fake ‘bloodly’ looking from working with beets)
Red burn line running across my right wrist (it was a really crowded stovetop with two things of chicken going down - one hot oil - at the same time)

“We have a right to know about food we eat and feed our families, but under current regulations, we don’t have that ability when it comes to genetically engineered (GE) foods.

The number and variety of GE foods reaching grocery shelves is accelerating without proper regulation or human health testing, and most importantly, without labels.

We need people like you to contact our policymakers in Washington, to demand the right to know about the food we are eating.”

This Dish on this weekend

Sat, 18 May 2013 19:37:00 -0400

Friday

Low Carb/Low Fat Ice Cream : The Secret ‘Main’ ingredient? COTTAGE CHEESE. I have no problem confessing that odd one. It tasted so creamy and delicious I couldn’t care less if it was once a curd.

Saturday

Mango-Agave Granola : I substituted with dried plums because I simply picked wanted to.
Crispy, Smoked Sriracha and Lime Chicken Wings with Cilantro Radish salad :(One little girl looked crazy buying one giant sleeve of 16 chicken wings.) I recommend increasing the radishes and celery to this one in order to make a fuller salad
Pulled Chicken & Bourbon BBQ : Have fun plucking the meat right off the chicken!

Sunday (Apparently Day 1 was proteins, Day 2 is all summer side salads…)

EVOO on your FACE

Sat, 18 May 2013 07:58:00 -0400

I’m attempting to ‘cleanse’ my skin in a more natural way - with Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) and hot water. Two weeks of taking a break from my ‘Western Medicine’ approach of dermatologist prescribed rubs and washes.

I’ll update you in two weeks! (June 2nd)

I’m stoked about NOT having to wake up at the crack of dawn to dress in business professional or dress up for a specal occasion. This has been the start all my days (weekends included) over the last two weeks - yay for an upcoming PJ pants saturday morning munching on homemade granola ! :)
