Sunday: Top Five



Hey guys Happy Sunday! How your Sunday going?
Mine started with going to work, and a customer thinking I am 16 years old. Of course it’s not something new to me because I am used to people mistaking my age pretty much 90% of the time. Before I head to my second job I thought I should blog about my top five of the week. 
1. House of Cards – my professor recommended this show to me and I am addicted. It’s a political drama that’s full of unexpected turns. The cast is just amazing, the acting is done perfect, and even better my favorite character Kevin Spacey is the main character who the show is pretty much revolves around.
2. Chalkboard Wall – from my previous blog you probably read about me painting my room chalkboard paint
3. Juicing – why eat your vegetables when you can drink it. I absolutely love juicing. 
4.  Listening to music – I was recently at a friend’s house, and they said they never have the chance to just lay in bed and listen to music, which is something we did that day. After thinking about what they said I realized I never do it either. So I decided every day before I go to bed to just lay in bed and listen to music for 30 minutes, not to worry about anything or do anything but just lay there and listen. Yesterday I was listening to Pink Floyd – Dark Side of the moon, which is one of my favorite albums of all time.
5. Yoga

What's on My cooking Bookshelf?

When I came first became vegetarian I had no idea what I was doing; my initial motive was driven by a desire of losing weight, but as the years went by it turned into a lifestyle driven by a concern of how unsustainable our current food system is. As well as general concern with the increase industrialization of our food system; this concern was further reinforced when I read Michael Pollan book The Omnivore's Dilemma: A NaturalHistory of Four Meal s, a fantastic book that provides a critically look into our food industry. I an cannot say precisely when I turned vegetarian I might be now 11-12 years now, but it does not matter to me anymore because is sorta a life style to me now. But this is not to say when I started it was easy, it was hard particularly trying to find the perfect meal that's easy for me to cook without depending on my mother.  This finally changed when I finally got bought my first vegan book;  Easy Vegan: Simple Recipes for Healthy Ea...

So its been two months since I last blogged, and a lot has happened apart from almost finishing my undergrad, I got accepted to Grad school and will be leaving this lovely and peaceful city to the big city Toronto. But enough about that, time to talk about food and food. Given my recent unhealthy eating, which consists, of eating a whole bag of Lays salt and vinegar chips I think its time to go back to eating green and raw. I had a chance to look over my health books and came across Michael Pollan’s book “Food Rules” which I bough maybe three years ago, on part of the book Pollan’s opens the chapter with the simple question of; what kind of of food should I eat? And the answer is mostly plants, especially leaves. This is something that I realized I have been neglecting in my diet recently and it seems that it is time I go back to eating green.   I was browsing through the lovely Jeanine blog Love & and Lemons when I cam across her recipe for Kale Salad...

A Taste of Home: Curry Lentil Cauliflower Soup

  What are the fundamental or essential things in your life that reminds you of home? For many travelers or nomads the essential of their live are comfort home food.   The further they travel the more these comfort food absences become apparent. While I am not much of traveler or consider myself a nomad among the many essential in my life or comfort food that remains me of where I was born and raised for the early years of my childhood is lentil. Strange as it maybe, these essential food or comfort food have stories and deeper meaning; they are a part of who we are. Lentil brings me back to third grade in North Sudan; my holder cousin who is a year older than me waiting in line during lunchtime for both of us. While in class I can smell the lentil soup, its always-green lentil. Now, every time I have lentil or cook lentil it brings me back to that early childhood of being 8 years old, in all catholic middle school with my dark blue and white uniform; with my cousin alwa...
