early friday...

132.8! yeah!
only 2 miles yesterday, but no wine, so it still helped.
dinner was good but needs some tweaking - the millet was yummy, but forgot tomato paste, made with chili sauce. next time more black beans, only one sweet potato, and add jabanero sauce!

amanda sent the recipes:
from veganomicon:

Mexican Millet (didn't have millet, i used quinoa)

2 tbs veggie oil (i used 1 tsp)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup millet (quinoa, rinsed)
1 small yellow onion diced finely
1 jalapeno, seeded and mincd
2 cups veggie broth
3 tbs tomato paste
salt to taste
1/4 tsp cumin
1/3 cup finely diced tomato, seeded
2 tbs cilantro
lime juice for garnish

heat the oil and garlic in a saucepan over medium, when it sizzles, add onion and pepper, fry, stirring occasionally, till ionion is soft and slightly golden, 6-8 mins. add grain, stir to coat, and saute for four to six mins, till grain is lightly golden. pour in broth and add tomato paste, salt, cuin, and fresh tomato. bring to boil, stir, cover. lower heat to low and cook for 25-30 mins for millet, 20-25 mins for quinoa, till all liquid is absorbed. remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 mins, then sprinkle with chopped cilantro and fluff with a fork. garnish with a little fresh lime juice and diced tomato if desired

black bean and sweet potato enchiladas (i just made the sweet potato mixture, and skipped the enchilada part)
(vegan planet?)

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 tbs olive oil
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 small fresh hot chile, seeded and minced

one 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, drained (i didn't drain)
1 tbs chili powder (i added also 1/2 tsp cumin)
salt n peppa

preheat oven to 400, arrange sweet potatoes in a single layer on a lightly oiled baking sheet and roast till tender, about 20 mins, turning once. remove from oven and set aside.

heat olive oil in a large skillet, add garlic and chile, and cook till fragrant, about 30 secs. add beans, tomatoes, chili powder, salt n peppa. stir in sweet potatoes and simmer for 5 mins.
