- Not going to the gym for 3 months means a painful, queasy reentry to the world of working out! (I dropped all my weights by 10-15 pounds and was still straining pretty hard to finish my sets.)
- Bananas improve protein smoothies by about a thousand percent! (They seem to ameliorate the slightly gritty protein powder texture. Also, they are emphatically not citrus, no matter what anyone tells you.)
- Rice milk kicks soymilk’s ASS!
- Hijiki, an at-first-intriguing-looking Asian dried seaweed, when soaked in water, smells like the decaying sea matter I recall pungently from my summers in Maine, and tastes strongly of the same. Wakame and konbu I really like a lot, but I tossed the 3/4 full bag of hijiki last night after the first failed attempted at a sesame/hijiki/carrot salad. Bleargh.

Hijiki is just about my favorite type of seaweed. It does need to be prepared correctly, though. A good amount of sesame oil is important.
I have a couple of recipes you may like.
