Remember to drink your eight 8 oz glasses of water a day!

Snack yesterday:

These kiwis were so ripe and sweet. Kiwi's are another good way to get your VIT C fix on. They are also high in fiber and antioxidants.

Fruit and nuts to hold me over til din din.

SHRIMP FRIED RICE!!.. SHRIMP FRIED RICE!!

Actually.. it was prawn fried rice but all the better than those lil shrimpies. This fried rice was especially tasty because it wasn't overly oily and they used heartier vegetables instead of just the standard peas and carrots.

Tamarind duck

The duck was very tender and the sauce sweet and delicious. Mmm.. Boy choy also makes any dish shine!

Green beef curry with aubergines, courgettes and my favorite- bamboo shoots!

Breakfast this morning:

I made porridge thinking that it would turn out like oatmeal. I must have only had one eye open.

Ahh.. at least it brought back a familiar child hood story. :-D

what can I say, mine was juuuust right!

I digress...

Because this sludge is not oatmeal! Still warm and comforting though.

On the stove top:
1/3 cup of porridge
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup water

Bring to boil, simmer, then add bananas to warm.

Crumbled cinnamon muffin from yesterday on top. It was a perfect way to spice up my porridge without actually using any spices. I loved the additional crunchy bites from the dipped cinnasugabutta on top of the muffin. YUM!! Very satisfying breakfast.

a few ice cubes to cool it off

So I was thinking to myself this morning that maybe my recent skin problems are due to not consuming enough water. I've been working out more lately and that probably means I should be hydrating my body to replenish all that is lost through sweat. Regardless, I know drinking lots of water is a good habit to get into.

Cheers big ears!
