Food!

Jim has given me a great idea.  Since being in fabulous shape is about working out and what you eat, I'm going to share what I eat with you, too.  Now, this is a big deal for me because I've decided that I'll have to be honest.  If I eat it, I post it! That's great, though, because it encourages me to stay faithful to the commitment I'm making to my relationship with Jim.  After all, the success of this relationship depends on what both of us bring into it, right?  So here is my breakfast this morning:

Masoor Dal Porridge

This Dal happens to be made of red lentils. It is very yummy and a great source of protein.  There are tons of options for how to season and prepare Dal.  I opted for a very simple preparation.  First I rinsed the lentils thoroughly.  Then I seasoned them with salt, a generous amount of dill (maybe 1.5 tablespoons - I don't usually measure) and a half block of vegetable bullion.  I mixed these all together and then added enough water to cover the lentils by about an inch.  I let the lentils cook slowly until the water was mostly gone and the lentils had a porridge like consistency.  I've decided to use Dal to replace the soy yogurt I used to have each morning (more about that later).

Ok - I'm off to prep for my date with Jim!
