Time Flies and Your the Pilot

Someone please explain to me how weekends seem to pass so much faster then regular work weeks? This calls for one of my favorite quotes:

“The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.”
– Michael Altshuler

Although short the weekend was an enjoyable two days filled with fun. How about a recap:

Friday night started off with a regular old tofu, sheritaki, veggies stirfry. Except this one was much more exciting then any other stirfry I’ve had. The difference? It was topped with peanut flour paste.I hope the crookedness of the above photo doesn’t irritate you!

I do believe this topping will appear on top of my stir fry on another occasion.

All day Saturday I was at the rock music concert, which was a lot of fun and I got some pretty sweet photos.It was a long day and by the end of it my ears were ringing but I’m definetly glad I went and I have no regrets. I got my self a snazzy Skillet T-shirt. I don’t often wear T-shirts but there are always those days when it just seems like the only thing to pull over your head.

I woke up refreshed Sunday morning having slept in all the way to…7:30am. I desperately needed to find my younger sister Shannon a birthday present, as we were celebrating over lunch. I racked my brain for thoughtful things that she would like, but I know my sister well. And what I know is that she likes the thing that seems unthoughful: money. So that’s what I gave her, but I made her a nice card to put the cash in.

In the inside it says “Sometimes that things that seem thoughtless are actually quite thoughtful“. I think she will appreciate doing some shopping with her sisters money!

I also got a chance to spend some of my own money. Some grocery shopping:

Two new hummuses, cottage cheese, veggie burgers, veggie cheese slices, and past-the-expiry date tofu. Yup, I’ll be returning the tofu. Serves me right for not checking the date!

Three new books:

Now hopefully I will actually find a chance to read these books. Lately I have been reading WHILE I walk to work. It’s probably not the best idea regarding safety, but I just can’t resist!

What are your favorite stir fry sauces? Have you ever read Born to Run? Do you ever read and walk at the same time? Have you ever got home from the grocery store to realize you bought expired food?

Mmmm stir fry love it Your Skillet shirt rocks, that little monster is so funny haha! Looks like you had an awesome weekend! I can’t wait to hear how you like New Rules of Lifting, and I can’t wait to hear about that Peanuts book, I LOVE charlie brown!!

On the treadmille I will walk and read and I am sooo happy you liked the Skillet concert! arnt they amazing!!!

Looks like it was an awesome concert, and I LOVE your shirt! I’ve never read Born to Run, but I do love the New Rules of Lifting And my favorite sauce to put in stir fries is actually a combination of soy sauce and sunflower seed butter. Crazy good. My mom also makes this sweet and sour sauce with ketchup, OJ, and soy sauce… but I’ve yet to master that one.

I have a bag of shirataki and no idea how to use it! I’ll have to try making a stirfry. My favorite stir fry sauce is teriyaki — i’m pretty boring! Otherwise I love mashing up an avocado with spices and soy sauce and using that.

Looks like an awesome concert!! I have been reading the New Rules of Lifting and it’s great. I have brought home food that was expired!! I was so mad! I mean how can they do that it doesn’t seem right! I’ll usually still eat it if it hasn’t gone bad (smells bad/tastes funky) or there isn’t any mold in it

Fun concert! I read Born To Run and loved it, and now I want to pick up the New Rules of Lifting! I walk and read books all of the time when I am at school. I get odd looks sometimes, but the walks go by so much faster

love the quote, your new t-shirt and the card you made your sis!

I don’t think I’m coordinated to read and walk at the same time, LOL. If I could, I would! I really want to buy that strength training book. Tell me if its any good! Although I’m you’ll love it because everyone else has been raving about it!

I want to read Born to Run SO badly. I think if I tried to walk and read I’d fall flat on my face or into a pole!

Oooh I am a rubbish person to answer, but I’ll give it a bash :s Stir fries… I like black bean sauce, but my ultimate really is au naturale. Boring for some I know, but I <3 the crunch and sweetness of sugarsnaps and baby corn as they are. Plus, water chestnuts… So long as there's a good amount of ginger and some garlic in there, that's all you really need Might try experimenting with lemongrass though

I prefer flavour from herbs and spices in cooking, rather than sauces

Ahh I hate when I accidentally buy expired food!! and I haven’t read born to run yet but I am dying to! I gotta pick up a copy before my trip Saturday
