bits

Just some interesting things that happened in the past week... or two :)

- I won a book at one of those events where you walk around a horse-shoe of tables that contain a person or two, some brochures, a little activity, and free candy and pens.  It was an all around healthful living informational ditty, presenting on campus support centers/programs/etc.  The book is called The Essence of Health by Dr. Craig Hassed.  It seems like a pretty basic read, but if I would have picked to win anything, a book would have definitely been at the top of my list... So, cool beans!

- I found a new soup recipe online and made it Monday: Hearty Kale, Quinoa, and Lentil Soup.  It is nice and hearty with lovely spices, but maybe I would add some vegetable broth (sodium) to enhance the flavors a bit.  Here is the recipe if you are interested... http://recipesfrom4everykitchen.blogspot.ca/2012/10/hearty-kale-lentil-quinoa-soup.html

How mine turned out...

- I am still learning the Australian names for different coffee beverages.  I am also learning the American, or I should say, International names for coffee beverages.  Note: a macchiato is simply espresso with a little foamy milk added.  If you want to savor a coffee drink, I wouldn't suggest ordering this.



Americano = "tall black"
Espresso = "short black"

Oh yeah, and here is a photo of a delicious passion fruit.  I highly recommend trying one... if you have not :)
