Thai @ MindSay

K. This will be brief due to the fact I'm hungry for Bonnie's "funeral potatoes."

So. Life has found me in a peculiar place...with a family of Hmong people. :3 I'm not complaining. I always adored Asian culture. Teehee. My family does not want much of me, so I moved in with these lovely people. A three bedroom apartment with TEN people[including me] inside. VERY crowded, as you could imagine, but I find it to be the most comfortable place I have yet found in my life. They accept every inch of my oddity. Acceptance is delicious.

Of course, I have once again found stable love. Or as the Hmong say, hlub. Thai Lee Vang. He is absolutely perfect. He has the right amount of patience, individuality, and intelligence I desire in a being. I'm sure I'll blab about him tons, so on with other things.


College. Ya...all my wonderful plans...remember those? Ya. I'm not going. My parents decided they won't help me..with ANYTHING.


But I have been living off few dollars. I need a job. Not even Job Service helps me. Everyone is searching and I'm not the "cream of the crop". -.-

I have gained some weight, but me and Thai plan to hike a mountain tomorrow to help start losing some of that extra fatttttnesss. ICK.

Well my butt hurts from sitting outside on the dirt to steal wireless and my stomach is aching for some of those potatoes.

Good night.

When I was struggling to find ways losing my body weight, a friend of mine had suggested some protein rich foods to supplement high carb foods to cut down those extra pounds.

Protein foods need an acid intermediate for absorption. You should take only one type of protein at a time. Eat whatever protein food you want but do not consume it in combination with any starch food. Good and high quality proteins will help you to reduce weight by controlling your appetite and will improve your metabolism.

With the help of protein, we can build our body efficiently and we can be more active and energetic. When you go on a weight loss program and if you take high protein foods, you won’t get tired and will be active as usual. It also helps in weight loss by keeping your stomach full and hunger free for long time. You can even take fresh fruits and veggies along with high protein food like eggs etc.

Eggs hold the maximum quality protein found in any food because they offer all the necessary amino acids your body requires in a perfect way. You can say eggs as storage for proteins and can consume food in combination with eggs.

You can even opt for protein shakes. It tastes different and you too will enjoy its taste and at the same time you consume protein rich food.

Protein is an essential nutrient required by every person on a daily basis. Protein is made up of necessary and unnecessary amino acids, which are the structure blocks for healthy bodies. The only way you can get high protein foods is intake of high proteins in the diet. Even the protein powders are complete proteins.

When there is any post-weight-loss operation, the patients have difficulty absorbing nutrients, and the proteins are required more for them than in general.

I always visit http://www.foodandrecipes.info to get some good ideas for finding healthy protein
rich foods and their recipes. The site always offers a feast with scores of ideas and recipes to my taste buds without letting me put on more weight. 

The minute you walk into FuBonn Asian Supermarket you are transported into the orient. The 100 pound bags of rice give off a sweet jasmine scent and the unpronounceable spices and ingredients are amazing. We went there this morning to get strange sauces and veggies and bundles of lemon grass. Next door was a pho (soup?) house so we had a lunch of Vietnamese egg rolls and bun thit nuong. An indescribably delicious grilled pork over vermicelli noodles that I haven’t eaten since leaving Denver 14 years ago. Oh heavenly days. I was reminded of the little ice cups of Vietnamese coffee we used to drink at on Denver’s west side.

 

 

Then we shopped for more wall tiles to finish the kitchen – my tile painting fiasco has failed totally near the sink…. So I will retile there. Daltile Urban metals @ $10. per tile. Sheesh is right .  Then we hauled more rocks for the pond and stream bed and finally around 5:30 I was able to throw my clothing in the washer and wash the mud off my glasses and out of my hair. Life with a Jacuzzi is close to perfect. I am now in my greek white linen caftan with the blue embroidery, the one I made to go with the new house because I  imagined coolish mornings on the top deck with the breeze requiring a hood and long sleeves. It goes perfectly with my SWITCH embossed leather mules I found in Multnomah Village.

 

We are still cruising through season one of the sopranos and loving it more and more. Gandolfini is a genius. The flash of emotions, excitement and the desire to keep them bundled up all flit across his eyes and blow me away. Oh and the purple rhododendrons are now blooming.  I am sooooooooooo blessed with having moved here. Fin.

Howdy Howdy all!

 

Well, Well, Well, a good time was had by all last evening Myclette myself and Callmeroger  went for Thai food and uh Sir RawJah an gave an unsettling performance on a chicken kabob thingy....let's watch and listen to my scratchy voice and southern accent---I aint nothing compared to Myclette's South-East Texas Twang!

How about some poetry....here goes.....

 

The Lady's Yes

"Yes," I answered you last night;
"No," this morning, Sir, I say.
Colours seen by candlelight,
Will not look the same by day.

When the viols played their best,
Lamps above, and laughs below---
Love me sounded like a jest,
Fit for Yes or fit for No.

Call me false, or call me free---
Vow, whatever light may shine,
No man on your face shall see
Any grief for change on mine.

Yet the sin is on us both---
Time to dance is not to woo---
Wooer light makes fickle troth---
Scorn of me recoils on you.

Learn to win a lady's faith
Nobly, as the thing is high;
Bravely, as for life and death---
With a loyal gravity.

Lead her from the festive boards,
Point her to the starry skies,
Guard her, by your truthful words,
Pure from courtship's flatteries.

By your truth she shall be true---
Ever true, as wives of yore---
And her Yes, once said to you,
SHALL be Yes for evermore.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning
