Must cut medley down to 330 seconds..sigh..

And unsweetened mint iced tea :) off to dance practice!

Very cranky today (as usual). Irritated, pmsing, haarmones going wild. The only that pacified me was this incredible chicken salad plate at Mediterranean grill in Squirrel Hill. Dipped the chicken in baba ghanoush. I was craving something like this. I couldn't concentrate on anything but eating. A couple days ago I enjoyed brown rice sushi at the sushi place in Shadyside.

# driving long distances today makin my bhangra cd about time woohoo!

Punjabiyan di battery charge rehndi hai baby : )

foods I'm eating during my cleanse: mozzarella sticks dipped in hummus, eggs and goat cheese, my unsweetened almond milk/apple/sesame seed/peanut butter smoothie (even though peanut butter has a little bit of sugar in it seriously I'm not gonna survive....can't do the Buddha thing I did years ago), fruits except bananas, besan pooda (chick pea flour savory pancakes..will go over recipe later), black daal and brown rice for dinner, channa daal and brown rice, oats from the farm cooked on the stove for twenty minutes with water and milk topped with walnuts, pecans, cranberries, pepitas and pistachios, quinoa, avocado/chick pea/balsamic vinegar salad, salads and looking for more foods..

Day 6 of the cleanse begins [Sunday]. I only cheated once (just had a little bit of pasta but it was gluten free..my friend made it..and also had some strawberry yogurt sweetened with evaporated cane juice oops). I have to say I'm doing pretty good. Would love a cracker though. But feeling pretty good. a bit cleansed. 

I ain't sorry and leave me alone: http://www.the-open-mind.com/15-things-you-dont-owe-anyone-at-all-though-you-think-you-do/#qdrrU6L61Px0AX4r.01

treating myself to a mini-pedi today (I do this about once every season....dancers' feet are a horror), then dance practice, then off to a barbeque with friends. woohoo!

who needs to buy juice from the store when you can make it at home: strawberries, one mango and one half peach (add plain yogurt, coconut water and ice)

I absolutely love my baby bump <3 http://endowriter.blogspot.ie/2014/06/is-this-beautiful-shape.html?m=1
I would like to thank all the men who have stopped their cars to let me cross the street. Very generous thank you.

Ummmmmmmmm isn't this Holi? The graffiti run?????????? http://touch.groupon.com/deals/the-graffiti-run-25

saw Queen (Rani....hindi movie) this weekend. very nice. that's my whole philosophy now, don't look for a man, look for healing instead. there's a world out there that needs Womens' Hearts. Let's thank the dudes that have hurt and disappointed us. We were meant for something greater ~

How I live every second of the day: http://www.spiritscienceandmetaphysics.com/10-things-highly-intuitive-people-do-differently/

Sometimes tears flow just because they feel like flowing. There may not be a serious event in your life but a series of changes can bring about overwhelming feelings. It's best to just cry a little and realize that it's natural to feel a little grief. A change no matter how minor is a death and every death requires a little mourning.

better to be asexually charming, Mercury conjunct Sun: http://darkstarastrology.com/sun-conjunct-mercury/

I would be glad to refer my clients to any psychiatrists. This is needed as many times relationships cannot move forward until certain emotional and psychological issues are dealt with individually. And psychiatrists can refer their clients to me so that as the issues are dealt with, the relationships can evolve also. It would be a dream to do this kind of work. 

This article is a dream come true for me. I feel like all the work I've done over the years wasn't for nothing: http://m.xojane.com/issues/feminism-men-practical-steps

Alrighty money in the bank account today! Gonna get gas :)

Lol what the hell is wrong with this guy: http://money.cnn.com/2014/06/18/news/american-apparel-ceo-dov-charney/index.html

Alas we cannot make love with everyone. Hearts can connect and it can be confusing when a love connection does not solidify in form. On average, you can only have sex with about 7% of the people you meet.

hard boiled eggs mixed with goat cheese. the softer, crumblier kind works better but still equally delicious.

Oh dear got a little loopy last night. Just woke up in pain and ate a few pieces of cantaloupe and two ibuprofen. Had my bandage tied too tight with tape on my finger and once I pulled it off I stopped feelin dizzy lol. Deep breathing and light stretches today. #gotmyperiod

Bloody everything has hormones in it..Haldiram's probably has hormones in it. I will never forget the daal I ate ate the Haldiram's food court in a mall in Gurgaon ten years ago. It was daal and it tasted like caramel!!!! How much cream was in that!!!!

would love to eat organic everything but way too expensive. general rule at home is all dairy has to be organic including any dishes with milk in it (kadi, kheer, etc). 

it is time for me my friends to fuck a stripper..

Lesson learned: don't be something I'm not. Yes Im friendly and sweet bit sorry I'm also icily sophisticated. Don't like the fact that I'm not uppity and behaving how you want? No problem just suck it up. 

more roti today for friends and family : )

no that is not an engagement ring, that is my kleechadi : )

came out much better today:

I'm little :(

Roti

you need whole wheat flour from the Indian store: 

add some water and start kneading:

mom wants to play:

beautiful dough:

time to make roti:

take a piece of the dough, roll it between your hands, dip it in the flour and flatten with rolling pin (repeat dipping into flour and flattening with rolling pin until you get to the size you want):

she's very fast:

big and round:

then put on thawa (Indian pan), cook on first side, then turn and cook on other side, then put a teeny bit of oil on one side (if you want) and cook and do same for other side:

beautiful presentation:

my plate : )

Aloo Gobi (cauliflower with potatoes)

I love cauliflower and can eat it all the time. although I am not a big fan of potatoes but one must learn how to cook to survive. 

cook cumin seeds in oil (I added ginger prematurely because my brain is overactive as usual so add ginger when you add potatoes later):

peel and cut four small potatoes (and a decent sized cauliflower): 

 

 add potatoes: 

add cauliflower and regular masalas (salt, turmeric, red mirchi (spice), garam masala (coriander and cumin powders). cook : )

Matar Paneer (Paneer with Peas)

cut onion, ginger and garlic (two cloves) and put in oil: 

take paneer out of freezer (warm in microwave for a couple minutes):

then cut paneer into pieces, you won't need to cut the whole block for a couple people:

add three to four karchis (big spoon/ladle measurements) of crushed tomatoes into pot: 

and also add peas, salt, black pepper, red mirchi and garam masala. stir and cook for a couple mninutes: 

add warm water: 

cover and cook for a few minutes:

then add pieces of paneer:

cover and cook for a few minutes then you're done : )

everyone is healing and making peace with life in their own weird ways....

this was the highlight of my day today : )

Lol!!!!! http://www.buzzfeed.com/hnigatu/things-you-have-to-deal-with-only-black-person-in?bffb&s=mobile

Things may not be the way you want them in the present moment but I'm learning that you have to be grateful that you have something to do. We can always be of service in one way or another ~

obviously I don't watch much TV:

I kid you not I tutored this kid today:
