Eating with chopsticks

Eating is one of my all consuming passions. Quite literally, I will eat anything. You could say I eat to live. I also track my calories with the help of Livestrong.com. Thanks Lance. It is down right nearly impossible to stay on track, and this is from someone who doesn't really eat out or hit up fast food. But today, I have a few extra calories left thanks to my bike, a Scott CR1! I took it out for about 25 miles today. Burning it up some wicked hills... The hills weren't too bad, but when you look dow at the top of a 5% grade and your speed is still well above 20, that is a good day. We woundup averagin about 196 watts according to the cycle ops wattage calculator.
So I came home and ate and studied then had a delicious dinner of rice and buckwheat with cranberries, chx sausage, tofu, and clementine wedges. Awesome.




1 C rice
3/4 C Buckwheat
1/2 Cranberries (fresh, chopped and spinkled with sugar and put aside)
1/2 C Tofu
1/4 C onion
1 orange, sliced into small chunks drizzled with soy sauce
2 chicken sausage links
Turmeric, Cumin, Cayenne,
A dash of Coriander, paprika, and garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste


Mix the turmeric and rice with 3C of water and begin cooking. Add the buckwheat when the rice is nearly done. Mix in all of the other ingredients into the warm rice mixture. Serve with greens or alone and go to town with your chopsitcks.
