soup & stuff

yes, I will do that but for now I'm all souped out. I have plenty to last a while and I froze it. My next encounter with it I'll post what I've done differently to improve it.
Here's something I've been having lately at lunch that I've really enjoyed:
I had a bunch of shittake mushrooms that I had sauteed in soy sauce in a little container in the fridge at my work. Since I got sick of the soup I had made and wanted a salad, I ended up using the rest of the sticky brown rice I had as a base and putting the soy sauce shittakes in (chopped 'em up a bit) and then a salad on top with the lemon tahini dressing. The only thing in the salad was red bell pepper and lettuce. It was great! Good mix. You have to be careful about the dressing because it is higher fat even though it's watered down. But a little goes a long way and the soy sauce adds some moisture too. After I finished the rice I made quinoa and finished up the salad and mushrooms with it. Great salad.
I've been working on this memory course and it's been stressing me out a little. I went through half the course before (it's very intensive) and you get better and better at it as you go. But when you stop and come back to it after some time, you lose a bit of the skill if you haven't been practicing. So it's frustrating to have to struggle with the visualizations. I just have to keep working on it. I recommend the course but it's very intensive. A med student who's using it says it took him a full year of using it and learning it to reach the point where he felt he completely got it as a skill. I consider it a skill like typing. Once you have practiced and learned it you can get very good so you no longer have to spell out everything and your thoughts can flow freely as you type. Anyway, I have to work on it some more. I've been busy with that, learning the language section.
