Short, Freckled People

Today, I found two studies that worked in my favor. I learned from Hungry Girl that short people burn more calories than taller people and from my daily news browse that people with moles (or raised freckles, as I call them) may age less than those who don't have them. I've had a few "raised freckles" removed, so perhaps I won't get any wrinkles. Here's hoping, right?


Lunch
We didn't do our usual Sunday shopping yesterday, so I had to get creative for today's lunch. I used three ingredients: canned chickpeas, tofu and onion. It was an interesting combination of foods, but it worked well together. I cubed my tofu and grilled it last night, along with the onion. I then mixed it in with the chickpeas.

It tasted pretty good. I ate my lunch at 12:30, and this meal kept me satisfied until 8 pm. I usually don't go that long without eating, but I wasn't hungry at all. I think chickpeas are great for battling hunger.


Well, I hope everybody had a good weekend. After successfully convincing Al to go on a bike ride with me on Saturday, we met up with some friends. We got drinks at the Botanic Bar in the city, and then we moved on to a bar/nightclub called Swish. I'm not crazy about the place, because the music is so loud that you can't hear anybody talk. I like to talk! I lost my voice by the end of the night. At least we were with a fun group of people (and we danced)!

I'm so much better about taking photos. I make myself proud.


I also forgot to say that the temperature reached over 90 degrees (35 degrees Celsius) today. It's time to start sleeping with the fan on!

I LOVE the pictures! They are so cute! AND That's a great idea with chick peas and tofu. I'll have to try it. And that BIRD! What a cool bird! We don't have anything like that at all around here, except at the zoo!
