Jacques Pepin sautes spinach

Image
 Who can reist a very faous chef doing mundane things, Memo to all the culinary fat phobes: it doesn't matter whether you boil or saute spinach. Apparently any form of cooking makes the calcium in calcium oxalate more bio available. This info gleaned that from one of the doctors occasionally reposted here. Mr. Pepin himself says the kind of oil / fat is not too important so readers are free to finish with whatever kind of oil they like. a full 8:02 hours of sleep. Achieved by doing laundry early and going back to bed after a banana and a big drink of water when I first woke up. Now if I can manage north of 6 hours / night several nights in a row....

Bake until crisp before adding oil and spices the "agua fava (?)" makes great vegan egg white equivalent.  7:02 hours of sleep. When I sleep that long, I kind of feel like I have run a marathon. I am well aerated  but something feels sore like when I exercise a lot. Still HOPING to get to the laundry mountain even though I can still pretend / procrastinate for a few more days.

Oven Roasted chickpeas

 This concept sounds SO COOL. RantWoman may look further about a few details, but cans of chickpeas are easy to come by around here. 4:52 hours of sleep, not counting dozing off a couple times after snacks. I woke up with the usual dry mouth, itchy eyes and need to pee. Theoretically I could have gone back to bed and still made my 11 am Zoom. Zoom with blind people who are resting what vision they have is just great for showing up in meetings with bed head. I also watched A LOT of Stephen Colbert farewell, about which more at some point.
