Happy Saturday. Just got back from the farmer's market and I'm waiting for my feet to thaw out - brrrr! Keeping with the Thanksgiving theme, I'm also thankful for my LL Bean shearing lined clogs. At least the wind wasn't blowing and the sun was out. I didn't buy a ton today, since we still have leftovers from Thursday, freshly made chicken bone broth and a jar or two of leftover homemade soup in the refrigerator. I got the usual lettuce assortment from my hydroponic guy (always four or five heads of various green and red varieties and a bag of spring mix for DH), spinach, a great looking head of Napa cabbage, baby bok choy, pecan halves, baby sweet potatoes (OK, that's starting to sound like a ton, LOL!) and tried several fermented items from a vendor that I'd been meaning to check out. I got a small jar of fermented garlic, a jar of fermented carrot caraway salad and kimchi style fermented green beans. I also picked up some locally grown turmeric and baby ginger, so I will wing something using leftover quinoa medley, napa cabbage, turmeric, ginger and some of new fermented veggies. My refrigerator is groaning right now, as it is stuffed to the gills!
Before I forget, for anyone who uses grains (I rarely do, but picked up a bag of Quinoa Medley from one of my vendors to cook with the Thanksgiving chicken), the company that produces the Quinoa Medley is Ankeny Lakes/St. Maries - https://wildriceonline.com . I thought it was good and they have a variety of rice blends from 8 oz all the way up to 10 lb bags. I don't know what their shipping fees are (they're based in Oregon), but was thinking a variety of the small bags could make a nice gift for the grain eaters on your Christmas list. They would work as sides and you could also toss them into soups. Pat - I told DH we need to hurry up and eat our leftovers so we can make a new batch of veggie soup. I'm definitely embracing the warm foods the past several weeks as the temps have dropped. I was talking to this young guy who helps one of my vendors at the market - a really sweet college-age guy who can calculate purchases in his head at an amazing pace. He made a pecan pie for Thanksgiving (in addition to several sides) and even made his own crust - I was impressed. Like you, he was a bit critical of his creation. I hope you and DS got to take a walk on the beach. Have you done any Svaroopa yoga recently? I haven't done Svaroopa in ages - probably several years - but enjoy those nice warm blankets for yoga nidra and meditation this time of year. Speaking of baking, DH and I watched the final of the 2021 British Bake Off on Netflix last night. This was my favorite season and I absolutely can't explain why we watch every episode of every season, since we rarely bake anything!! Pam - Oh no, more precipitation, especially described as an "atmospheric river" doesn't sound like anything your area needs right now. I'm with you - baking is too fussy for my taste. I'm all about being a free-wheeling mad scientist in the kitchen. Here's a link to one of the sound bath YT practices I enjoyed from earlier this week - only 10 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfgubCtbTWc She uses the ocean drum at the end, and it sounds so realistic. I used my air Pods versus my over the ear Sony headphones, and it worked great. Paine - I'm off on Monday and calling to schedule a doctor's appointment is on my lengthy to do list. Sandra - I usually pull out the FP/KB series this time of year, as I enjoy the bright sets. As much as I loved the original Firm and think Anna Benson was a woman before her time, I sometimes find myself thinking "Why are we doing this?" with some of those moves in this set - especially some of the ones on the floor. Waves to ALL. I'm going to grab some brunch and get my day planned out.

Hey friends! Glad to be back. Amazingly, both of my flights went smoothly, no issues at all - I was very pleasantly surprised.
I will write more later, but I did want to share this really nice twisty yoga routine I did today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh-O...nnel=YogeaYoga
