In Training with Mask On

So that I can withstand brutal travels … and overcome fear. In training … Going uphill with a mask on is quite a respiratory strain and … yes, we are pumping it !

How safe is it to travel during the holiday season during a … Pandemic? How do you assess the risks ? By getting a flu shot, we are training our immune system for the flu virus … how do we train to boost our immune system for other kind of viruses though? It’s not the buffed and muscle bound, glowing with health golden people that withstands what’s out there today. It’s the wise who studies science and remains well informed. Then, maybe, maybe, risks may be plenty mitigated during our travels.

Be safe out there ! If you must travel, know that getting the Covid Negative test is not enough. If you can, stay home.

Green Goddess Night

Whenever I am stressed, I whipped up for salads and curry rice, Green Goddess! Here, looking more than a condiment as I smother the curry dish with this green goddess because its just soooooo yummy ! Can’t help myself …

Here’s a quick recipe:

  • 2-3 c fresh cilantro
  • 1-3 garlic cloves
  • 1 lime squeezed juice – about 1/4 c
  • 1 lemon squeezed juice 1/3 c-ish
  • 2-3 teaspoons maple syrup, honey or agave syrup (test for your preference)
  • ½ t ground coriander
  • ½ t sea salt

In food processor just whirl the above and drizzle

  • ½ c extra-virgin olive oil

as you keep whirling until the consistency is smooth. Do not over process.

It’s pretty tasty as a salad dressing above – BUT make them creamy to go with curry or any spicy dishes – SO refreshing !

Creaminess may be achieved by adding the following:

1 avocado

or

½ cup plain Greek yogurt (whole milk is creamier but low fat tastes fine)

or

Miyoko’s cream cheese is lovely too
