Julius Anastasio is a Green Belt at Wu Dao
I was zapped of all energy and my stomach was feeling off when I got home from work, so I didn't make it to kung fu yesterday. Instead, I decided to run 3 miles hard and do forms practice for an hour. Does this chain of events make sense to you? My gut feeling says it doesn't.
After a quick shower, I was forced with the daunting task of making dinner. I decided to follow the lead of (neverhome)maker's recent post about stir-fry and quinoa. Some cut up veggies, a lime, soy sauce, and a whole lot of peanut butter later, I had myself a rather delicious meal. To give the quinoa some added flavor, I cooked it in some vegetable stock from our freezer.
(for the curious, that's onion, carrot, broccoli and radish)
"But, doesn't that basically look like just a bunch of cooked vegetables on top some quinoa?"
Indeed. I didn't make a lot of sauce. Woops. In my defense, I was halfway delusional from my workout. I also forgot to add any protein beyond the peanut butter, so I got hungry again about 30 seconds after eating the metric ton of vegetables and grain (but a protein shake remedied that situation).
Another drawback from cooking while extremely tired is the volume of dishes produced. I think some cheesey before/after pictures convey this issue appropriately (OK, I admit, the pictures were taken in reverse. But I'm trying to illustrate a point here):

It was a pretty tasty meal though.
