Today's Fantasy

Before I get to my fantasy, a little recap of my day. Felt lousy when first getting moving, but I had blood tests at 8:10 so I had to get moving which was good. Maybe get the results tomorrow. Went to a restorative yoga class at 10 which was lovely. One of my primary complaints is that my back feels really tight from all the sitting around and hunching over my computer or book. I can't get the kinks out but that class felt good. Took a delightful shower, dried my hair, put a little make up on - looked more human that I feel! I have to ask a friend to take a pic of me - at the moment I am so skinny that I don't recognize my body. I'll post it when I get around to it - I stink at selfies.

The highlight today was getting to attend a Chef Bravo cooking demonstration. For those of you who have his book, Bravo, you know that the recipes are often long and complicated. So I tend to drool over the pics and descriptions but I don't cook from it. Good news! He is working on a new book with recipes of 5 ingredients and just a few steps. The recipes that he demonstrated today were all quite simple and fast to put together. That was a great surprise. The aromas from the food were delicious. He made Blueberry and Lime Truffles, Heirloom Tomato Soup (eaten hot or cold), Curried Beet Salad, and Apple-Mustard Dressing. People who got to taste were loving it all.

Chef Bravo recommended Chili God's Hot sauces - there is a red and a green. They aren't on Amazon and they aren't sold anywhere near me. But I guess the little market next door carries them so I may be stocking up. The green sauce is completely clean and the red sauce only has a small amount of sugar - both salt free! I found their website but it is sorely lacking - don't know if you can order from them.

Anyway, Chef Bravo was delightful and I loved the presentation and can't wait to eat some of the food. And I'm definitely going to buy his new cookbook when it comes out.

Nothing else going on today. But I thought I would post some pics of some of the food for you to enjoy. BTW, when I get time and energy I will write up the recipes that I am collecting and see if I can upload them to our files section so everyone can enjoy. Stay strong and to the LOTRL friends!
