To Quinoa with love!

I had so many things to write down today. Even last night, when insomnia attacked me with all it's glory i was thinking what to write. Mental not: When a good idea makes a fleeting appearance, do write it down! Not much has happened - how could it when i'm a hermit?!
But i did make a second attempt at cooking quinoa today. Last time i just boiled it in plain water and it turned out kind of, sludgy.. But today, today i am the queen of quinoa! So, i squeezed the juice from an entire lime, added half a tbls of cajun spice, popped in a vegetable stock cube, added a whole garlic clove (take that out when the quinoa is cooked) and half an onion, seasoned to taste. When the quinoa cooked in this it tasted like nectar from an asian angel! What's more, it taste just as nice cold. So tomorrow i'm going to make a leafy salad and have some of my delicious quinoa!

Oh i almost forgot! Me and my mum lit a fire in her garden tonight and we cooked some potatoes on the logs. A-freaking-mazing! I only had 3 of them though as they were slathered in garlic oil.. There's something so peaceful and somewhat prehistoric about sitting around a fire in -degree weather, with four layer of clothing on.

So my intake today is:
1 slice of toast - 99
Baked Beans - 150
3 Potatoes - 150?
3 Tbls of quinoa - 60?
1 Apple - 70
Options hot chocolate - 50
1 Kiwi - 30
Cuppa soup - 60

Total:  669 calories

And that's absolute maximum. I've over estimated on some items just to be extra cautious. Hope everyone's day has been just as fruitful! M x
