Happy Friday!

My date with Jim went so well today!  It is Friday so we took it a little easy - level 10 on the Hill program.  Sixty minutes of devoted attention and I feel so good!  Here is a picture from our date.  Jim has a number of flat screen TVs (I know!) and I got to see Dr. Oz pushing Kola nut.  Anyone from West Africa will probably find this hilarious.  I did.

 My Date with Jim: February 17, 2012

After a nice stretching session I felt awesome - ready to go on with my day.  So I went home and made lunch.  This is a very quick and simple but tasty and nutritious meal.

 Pho Stirfry with Garlicy Spinach.

Pho (pronounced "Fuh") is a rice noodle from Vietnam.  Later I'll tell you the story of this particular Pho and post the recipe for this meal.  In the meanwhile, here is some information about Pho: Wikipedia, SteamyKitchen.com, TheKitchn.com.  The recipe at Steamy Kitchen.com is  excellent and the site has lots of wonderful information about Pho.  However, the recipe calls for meat.  I happen to be vegan - so I have posted a vegan alternative from TheKitchn.com.  Enjoy!
