My first drogging adventure

Hello friends. The boy and I decided to drink beer and clean the apartment tonight and let me tell you, it is looking fantastic ( and I don’t feel half bad either) ! I was supposed to do yoga for P90X but…I didn’t. I did go for another bike ride though. I am so in love with biking! I have been in such a good mood since I got done riding. It is amazing what a little bit of cardio will do for ya.  In total I rode about 40 minutes today.  I don’t know if I will be able to do much more then that until I get padded bike shorts and/or a new saddle, because I was in some serious pain down where a swimsuit covers.

After I got done riding I finally went to the grocery store. I was inspired by Jennifer + Jessica’s guest post on kath’s blog to make couscous salad. I used half quinoa and half israeli couscous as the base. Cukes, tomato, carrots, zucchini, red onion, garlic,  and green pepper as the veggies. The sauce was 2 small tubs of plain coconut milk yogurt (still a little too sweet, but soy free), a splash of Goddess dressing, tamari, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Sri Lankan chili powder.  I also threw in a block of baked tofu, I wish I had more of it to add. It was really tasty. I am thrilled that it made a ton of food so I will have leftovers for days! Not exciting for the blog, but exciting for my tummy.

so fresh and summery

I forgot to garnish with cilantro, so nautrally I had to have another small bowl (not pictured)

After dinner I had some Passionate Mango coconut ice cream. YES!!!!! I love it! I still think that vanilla bean is my favorite, but this flavor was really nice too. I am so glad companies finally came out with a ice cream product made of something other than rice and soy.

sorry about the dirty window

After dinner we went to the grocery and bought a combo box of beer from the Starr Hill brewing co. from Charlottesville Va. I had a wheat beer flavored with banana and clove called “The Love”. It was nice but I didn’t really get a strong banana or clove taste, which is probably good. Banana beer sounds a little odd.

I followed it up with a “Jomo Lager”. I kept imagining the spanish pronounciation of the beer so I called it homo lager. Yes, I do share a similar sense of humor with middle school boys. It was more full flavored and heavy then The Love. I enjoyed them both but they are not my favorite. They have funny new age-y designs on the labels, not really my thing, but that doesn’t affect the taste of the beer.

The pale ale in the background isn’t mine. I tasted it and it was ok. It took me all night to drink those two beers, but I am feeling a little buzzed so I am going to call this entry a drog post. Now, I am going to chug water, shower, and go to bed. I can’t wait to ride my bike tomorrow!
