593. Calm and health after 3 days of birthdays and 2 days at home with a stomach virus.
594. Most delicious, comfort food recipe for dinner tonight similar to a traditional version made for us by our Korean friends:
BIBIMBAP - kid friendly version from Cookie magazine, April 2009
It's delicious, but even better, it's deconstructible. (You can remove any offensive elements for the kids without sacrificing your own dinner.)
3/4 cup soy sauce
6 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
4 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 pound ground turkey (beef, or pork)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 large eggs
2 cups cooked rice (Chinese takeout works well)
Assorted vegetables (shredded carrot, canned baby corn, spinach, bean sprouts, red onion...), steamed or raw
Toasted sesame seeds
I used ground turkey, broccoli, shredded carrot, shredded red cabbage, bean sprouts and spinach.
1. Mix together the first three ingredients, set aside.
2. In a pan, brown the meat in half the vegetable oil, about 5 minutes. Add half the soy sauce mixture and continue cooking until the liquid is absorbed, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and cover.
3. In another pan, fry the eggs in the remaining vegetable oil, 4 to 5 minutes.
4. Divide the rice among 4 bowls. Arrange some vegetables and meat and an egg in each. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds, then drizzle the remaining soy sauce mixture over the top.
595. Lily saying at the dinner table tonight that although she gave up her school Valentine's party today for another day of rest after recovering from a stomach virus, "Being home with Mom today was perfect for Valentine's Day."
596. Thoughtful cards and gifts in snail mail.
597. The gift of taking care of myself. Thank you Judy for reminding me that I'm important too. As instructed, I used my detox bath salts, bath pillow, eye pillow, candle holder and candles to release the toxins, relax, and support my body's healing process. So grateful that our bodies are able to heal and recover.
598. Expressions of love between family and friends.
599. Time for stories with Emmy tonight.
600. Starting to pay off some debt! We were able to pay four smaller bills tonight, hopefully on our way to eliminate much more in the near future!
601. Healthy food in the refrigerator to get back to feeling clean on the inside and energized.
602. Getting much needed greater quantities of sleep and learning the hard way that I need to make this more consistent.
