Got in 1 1/2 - 2 hrs of walking today (including a trip to buy some kitchen toys ). More organizing last night which will probably be finished sometime tomorrow night (ran out of some cleaning supplies).

Also, I looked up some recipes for Panna Cotta, decided on one and it's in the fridge right now. Won't be ready for a couple hours yet. So, about an hour preping/cooking/washing/etc with some annoying washing (ing stickers at the bottom of those ramekin dishes ). Next time it should take less than 1/2 hr to get done though. I'll let people know how it goes

Well, I am hungry...

Did some early morning yoga then an hour of combat conditioning class.

Taught 2 hr long yoga classes last night but didn't log in when I got home.

I like the focaccia bread with olive oil & vinegar idea. You can buy whole wheat focaccia crust (I use it for pizza) which would add the whole grain. Can't remember the name of the brand. I'm going to try that. While I don't eat lots of sweets I do enjoy my dark chocolate. What's pana cotta?

Thanks for sharing ideas.

Buying!?!?!?

The only problem with Balsamic Vinegar is that it fry's my tongue. IMO it's worth it though

I've seen some herb dipping's as well if anyone doesn't like Balsamic Vinegar.

Dark chocolate is actually quite nutritious.

Found this when I looked up the spelling of Balsamic through Google and clicked on Balsamic Vinegar's wikipedia page in the results (i.e. my curiosity found it

).

My recipe didn't go well though. I'm giving it another try today or tomorrow.

So, the first Panna Cotta batch was a bust. I couldn't find agar-agar so I converted the amount to gelatin. Well I converted wrong.

For the second batch I was able to find agar-agar. But, the amount given in the recipe wasn't enough to give a stiffness so that the Panna Cotta was able to maintain its shape when out of the ramekin dish.

But, the wife gave it a go anyway. Her comment was, if I keep making them, she'd get fat. So, I guess that's pretty good. This is the recipe I'm using if people want to try it themselves (it's very simple and vegetarian friendly):

Anyway, tomorrow I've got to get some more supplies for my third attempt. I'm going to increase the amount of agar-agar... we'll see what happens.

Anyway, thought I'd not make the new thread late this week. So, I'm making it early (while I still remember).
