By the time I got home from work last night, I had a migraine. It had been a few hours since I had eaten so I decided to make dinner right away. I made a thai coconut curry with seitan and veggies over brown rice. For the sauce, I used lite coconut milk, green curry paste, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, basil, cilantro and, of course, a little rooster sauce. It turned out really well.
After I ate, I laid on the couch and eventually went to bed around 7:30 as I wasn’t feeling any better. I woke up this morning feeling better but thankful for the coffee that was waiting for me. I made a cafe au lait and then headed in to work. Once I arrived and got settled, I had a toasted whole wheat english muffin with a natural peanut butter smear.
Work has been uber stressful this morning since we are trying to close out 2008 and continue to run into accounting road blocks 
Needless to say, this little break to blog feels nice. I’m having my lunch that I grabbed out of the freezer this morning: spicy black bean soup. I topped it off with a dollop of sour cream and a crumbled cheese stick. So good and warming on such a cold day.
I have a massive insane pile of work and hope to plow through that so that I can leave work with a clear mind. After work, I have a therapy appointment and a date at the gym with the dear husband. We are planning to lift weights and do a short run on the treadmill. Hopefully, when we get home, I will have time to squeeze in some yoga and a short meditation.
Be back later!

**Just as a heads up: I will not be able to comment on blogs as often now, during this semester, due to work overload (I’m stressed already) – PLEASE know that I’m still loyally reading, but just won’t have time to comment. I hope you understand!!
So sorry for all the stress!
How did you make the seitan?
that looks really delicious–how do you like seitan? I saw it last week at Whole foods but I didn’t jump on it.
Of course, the black bean soup looks excellent as well. i seriously need to cook a pot of soup.
Glidingcalm, there are no leftovers!
Heather, I bought the seitan from Whole Foods. Making it myself is tempting but I don’t have the nerve yet.
K Renee, I like it when it has a hearty sauce along with it. I don’t think I would like it just sauteed plain.
