Hi there!

So it’s raining again today for the 1 billionth day in a row! Really it is crazy how much rain we’ve gotten. On the positive side I saw this outside my  house today:

This morning I took Marty and Rosie for a walk and as usual they were FREAKING OUT with happiness as soon as I picked up their leashes. It’s so cool how they are completely jazzed about going for the SAME WALK that we went on yesterday, and the day before, and the day before!

I had my standard Smoothie for breakfast: banana, spinach, Spirutein vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, a little salt, vanilla hemp milk (unsweetened), and pb2. In addition to Better N Peanut Butter, pb2 is my other favorite peanut butter-type product. I even wrote about it on the Double Dog Blog.

For lunch I had another gigantic salad, this time with lots of cauliflower, tomatoes, and chickpeas and topped with Newman’s Own Low Fat Sesame Ginger dressing – YUM!

I also had the other half of the deceptive Trader Joe’s muffin that I started yesterday. And an apple. I’m HUNGRY today!!

I just checked on my kombucha. Yes, I’m making kombucha from scratch! Kombucha is a fermented sweet tea – you can read all about it here. My friend Kristen gave me the starter kombucha mushroom (called a “skoby“) and besides that all you need is tea, water, and sugar. My first batch didn’t turn out so well (it didn’t taste great and it wasn’t fizzy like the kombucha you buy in the store) but I think I figured out what went wrong. I used decaf green tea and you have to use caffeinated tea. So this time I used a black Chai tea. I also learned that once it’s ready you have to bottle it up and let it sit on the counter for a few days before refrigerating it. SO…it’s fermenting on my counter as we speak and tomorrow I think it will be ready I’m really excited to try it. For now, it looks like this on my counter:
