We just got home from downtown Denver where CJ earned his next belt rank. He is now "green with a brown stripe". Next is brown, which has three levels, and then black.
It was a 4 hour test. I didn't watch but was there for the final part where the belts were awarded. The Master said that this wasn't a physical test as much as working the details of the material. The last test CJ was on was a physical test and man, the students could barely walk out of the dojo when they were done. This time, I could tell people were mentally maxed out.
A couple of girls from the dojo were also there testing for their brown belts. Their test was still going when we left.
I had some sweet potatoes I needed to use up, so I decided to make myself this soup for dinner, and it is now simmering away. No idea how it will taste yet, but man is it making my apartment smell good.
Congrats to CJ!
Ooh, Perkins, that sounds delish!
I was worried that I had put too much peppercorn in my stew, but I realized that it was because I hadn't eaten anything but fruit all day and I was attempting to devour the stew while it was still in its molten lava stage.
I bought some Bob's Red Mill Organic Whole Wheat Flour the other day, and used that to thicken the stew. It says on the package that the flour keeps best refrigerated or frozen. Anyone refrigerate their crunchy granola hippie flour?
Way to go, CJ!
Emmett and I just watched Get Me To the Greek on DVD again.
It's very funny and merits rewatch. Plus Elisabeth Moss is kind of adorable insisting on a threeway.
Anyone refrigerate their crunchy granola hippie flour?
I do. The natural oils can go rancid.
Also I do because I use very little flour and I don't have to worry about bugs if I store it there.
I had goat cheese on naan, and am now trying to decide what picture to draw.

Bare feet. They're tricky to draw and you like them anyway.

Yep. Like Cass said, the oils can make it go rancid.
I'm going to mix up some Jello pudding tonight for breakfast tomorrow and the next few days.
What y'all just said about flour going rancid makes me glad I'm tossing out my old flour and sugar.
