Day 7: ^____^

I could write a long title like: yoging, cooking, shopping, new cooking adventure, eating, ENJOYING, or just put a BIG smiling face to summarize my Saturday. It was sooooo enjoyable all day long, so be prepared to see a lot of goodies (eatable and non-eatable! ) and step-by-steps!
Breakfast was this purple goodie that I posted yesterday for the review of steel cut.Then I went to a 90 vinyasa yoga with Scott, one of my favorites. I did so many new arm balances poses that impressed some new yogis! I did thisthisthisthisand thisIt was so fun! ^_^ and my self esteem went to the roof! hahaha....
Back home around 12pm (still not hungry after that steel cut bowl that I had it around 7am) I went to Qiao's home to help her cook two dishes for her party. I made argentinian tarta depascualina and coke chicken wings. When I was preparing my salad I wondered how you guys prepared your salad (I know it's not a big science, but just wondered). So I took pics of my mini step-by-step to make my salad.
Wash all the veggies, strained and put in a big salad bowl that I didn't have (will soon) so I used a 9-inch glass baking pan. Mix the dressing: olive + balsamic + mustard + salt pour the dressing into the veggies and mix Transfer it into a big serving plate (not ideal for salad, a big bowl would be better) and add protein toppings. I had 1/2 c. steamed lentils and 1 boiled egg. voila... easy, pretty, nutritious and delicious!!!
Then, I and Savanna went to a mall for some retail therapy (borrowed from Mellisa). After 2.5 hours... here are my purchases: The most wanted oatmeal bowl!!! I first saw it in Kath's and wanted since then but couldn't find it. So, I got super excited when I saw they have it finally. The mini Salad Spinner, Bamboo spoon, new placement and two things to eat corn (I don't know its name). Now, unplanned purchases: two sweaters and a jean from Abercrombie. Their clothes are very comfortable and I can find size for me, so I really like it, but usually they're a little bit expensive. But these are really good deals. The jean was 80 and I paid 40. The sweaters were 60 each and I paid 12.90/each. Such a good bargain, isn't it?all togetherAfter taking pics and all, I got hungry, so I used my new bowl to have "beauty drink". Does anyone remember this? It's made with white fungus and chinese dates. And toasted fresh bread with PB. (I had double of these just for your record). Now, my best cooking adventure for 2009! I made the most typical argentinian dish: Milanesas!!! From this book that I bought in ARg Let's do it backward! First let me show you the end product
Step by step instruction
prepare a mixture of egg or egg white, milk (I used coconut milk), S+P and fresh parsleyHomemade breadcrumb Homemade oat flourPrepare the beef. I used breakfast steak because the recipe call for thin layers of beef, so I think breakfast steak is just perfect. Seasoned with S+P and beat the meat to make it tender.Immerse the stead into the egg mixture and Pass it to the breadcrumb (or oat flour). Do it two times.I made three. One with breadcrumb, one with oat flour and one with oat bran. I want to see which is best.Freeze for at least 30 min. And then bake it with some oil for about 30 min (turning it once).
It's not complicated at all, right?
I had two fresh side dish: cucumber salad (salt, vinegar and honey) and a broco-flower puree (brocoflower because it's a green cauliflower) with tons of fresh parsley.wooooo!!! It's like a restaurant type of dinner, right??
It was sooo good! Clean Eating doesn't mean boring food, not at all! I wish you guys lived closer so I can invite you all to try this.
oh... this dinner plate look smaller than my usual portion of meal, so I supplemented with 2 WW bread.
Dessert was simple: unsweetened apple sauce +wheateberries + cinnamon + PB.After dinner, I felt tired and laid out on my couch to begin to read these
Such an amazing day that I had!
