Ideas for the Exotic Food Challenge. suggestions needed.

I'm so glad that many of you would like to join me into this challenge despite of no detail about how to do it yet. I have few ideas to how to do it.

1. Do it like BSI that every 1-2 weeks a host blogger pick up an exotic ingredient and all others blogger submit recipes and the host pick up a winner and send a prize.
   
2. Each week a blogger pick up an exotic ingredient/food and everyone can post a recipe in their blogs. This would be no prize and no winner, but just a way to organize us to try new/different things.
3. A variation of BSI would be that the winner is not picked by the host, but all of you, some kind of voting system.

What do you think? Which format do you prefer? Any other suggestions?
Life is short and we're so used to our habits that sometimes it lacks excitement and impedes us to discover new things. So, let's be adventures in this one!

Okay. Now, about yesterday. I went to a 90min vinayasa mixed level class in the morning and went to see a movie with my buddy at his home in the afternoon. Nothing exciting, but enjoyable! This is how a weekend day supposed to be, right?
What I ate yesterday? oh... for breakfast, I worked on my failed attempt pancake. As I did like a lot the texture of it, I changed its format and made it more like a bread-pudding and baked it. For the mix I used 1/3 c. oat bran, 1/3 c. almond milk, 1/3 c. egg white, 1/3 c. pumpkin, 1/3 c. frozen berries, vanilla/cinnamon, 1 tbsp smooth operator, 1 tbsp agave, 1 tsp baking powder. Sit it for 10 min and bake on 400 F for 15 min.oh.....dear!!!! This is even better than yesterday's. It's like a dessert for breakfast a la Krista. ^_^ Love it! I'll definitely use this method more often, adding varieties to my breakfast (well, part of the challenge is add varieties and get out of the routine, right?)
Before going to yoga class, I had a mun-dies.After yoga class I went to Safeway to buy some stuffs and I found this soft wrap that Juliet@ Yummy, Low Calorie Diet Food reviewed it few months ago. It was $5 for 8 tortillas! I know it's expensive but I couldn't resist it. I munched one while driving back to home for lunch, I like that it's so soft and has many layers. Really good buy!
Lunch: leftover warm salad with some okra and grilled shrimp.Dessert: I had two bowls of thisRicotta + butternut squash puree (Tj's) + wheat berries!!! And 1 bowl of more ricotta and squash.I know 3 bowls were too much for my belly, but I just couldn't resist.. obviously I suffered the consequence later. (I felt bloated for 4 hours! grrrrrr....... I hope next time before I overdo it I can remember that 4 hours!)
Back from movie-date with my buddy, I was hungry so I had my last mun-die before dinner. Dinner: sauteed cauliflower with grilled tofubok choy and black rice porridge.Dessert was again the new combo: frozen strawberries, smooth operator and wheat berries.
I stayed late last night so I had a bowl of fiber 1 before going to bed.That was a MUNCHES day! ^_^ totally enjoyed it!
