Yes, there is light

I very much enjoy walking around in the snow. There are so may shades of white and gray and blue...I love the way snow changes things, softens, cleans, redeems.

Last night can be summed up in four words: Iron Chef: Battle Chocolate.

What a kick that was!!! So much so that I found myself sitting there eating spoonfuls of cocoa nibs and drizzling agave nectar into my gullet, with a dried cranberry chaser. Seriously. I *have* to see that one again.

I found out that I get to have Emma for the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had so much fun yesterday playing with sticks in the field. She is a most excellent retriever. I thought about the correlation again yesterday. I like my friends like I like my dogs. Intelligent, conversant, gentle, able to walk in the woods for hours, loyal, cuddly, playful companions are the bestest. I am so looking forward to stomping around in the snow tomorrow with her. I will post some pictures!

Healthy Hot Cereal

1/2 cup Rice and Shine hot cereal from Arrowhead Mills
1 1/2 cup water
1/4 cup ground flax seeds
1 mashed banana
1 tablespoon raw cocoa nibs
maple syrup (not needed, really, but if your sweet tooth is yakking at you, go for it)

Boil the water and add the cereal. When cooked to your favorite consistency, add remaining ingredients.

This has lots of fiber, is high in essential fatty acids and has a dash of antioxidants as well!
