Big Road Food for Very Skinny Boy
MR is at a conference all week, during the day, and coming home for a very brief spell each night to sleep. I, however, am on vacation. Yes, I am. Please do not fall over dead, after all the effort you've put into life-extending lifestyle practices. I am on vacation. Today, Friday, and all of next week. Wow. The longest period of time I've had off since 2005. Early 2005.
So I am packing up his dinners for him... he leaves to catch the train at 7:30 am and gets home after 8, so I am doing anything I can to help. Tomorrow's dinner is a coleslaw inspired cold dish to keep him cool in the summer heat... and in the arguments he is no doubt getting into with seemingly innocent scientists who don't know that the red-headed skinny boy loves to pick a fight.
450 g red and green cabbage, shredded
285 g yellow squash, sliced and diced
200 g Quorn tenders, thawed
eggwhites to bump up protein as desired
1 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp flax oil
red wine vinegar, basil, oregano, garlic, capers
Mix, jar up, send the boy off to fight the wars!
Meanwhile, I am really enjoying being at home, albeit in the middle of a heat wave with two very irate cats. Mostly they sleep, but when they're awake they express their displeasure at the temperature. Poor little Philo has been crashed out on the cold bathroom floor. Kieffer continues to insist that he has not been fed, approximately 12 minutes after he finishes eating his lunch. Situation normal here.
I've taken Pilates and/or yoga every day, done a ton of cleaning, organized some stuff in the house, cooked a lot, and in general enjoyed not being at work. Susie has everything under control and I can go away worry-free. Which is good because next week MR and I fly to Toronto to Idea City, where he is speaking about CR, and I am going as the "guest or companion of his choice." Hehehe! All expenses paid trip to Toronto, and all I have to do is be the girlfriend! How does one get these jobs?

Wow! I am so impressed! MR speaking at an event featuring such impressive personages as Dr. Aubrey de Grey, Margaret Atwood, Ray Kurzweil and getting to hear the Canadian Brass Quintet! Such august company! Way to go, MR! Have fun in Toronto. MoMR :-)

I checked out that conference and it's très exclusive! (read: expensive). Lucky you to have a free pass!
I live in downtown Toronto - get in touch if you want to meet up for a yoga class!
