Hey culineuro nom-lovers,
The Wankstronomist returns, and not with a flavor pairing that's weird and delicious for you to try.
Unfortunately, the Wankstronomist is undergoing some digestion challenges. Since returning from a fellowship in Vietnam, she can't eat too much meat, wheat, or dairy. So now, her pantry is stocked with vegan, gluten-free treats to satisfy her appetite. Here are the top three things to keep yourself at bay with hunger.
1. Green Lentils. Here's a recipe on how simple it is to cook. Make sure to take out irregular lentils out, and add salt last. Top over rice and get a delicious, filling, vegan dinner.
2. Dates. Your tummy is happy and fulfilled, and your poop comes out easier. Win-win in my book. Pick dates from Wholefoods or Trader Joes. They don't add sugar, are perfectly dried, and taste waaaay better than the normal gross mush you buy at regular stores. For the best dates, you can go to Dubai. You know, just in case you can drop $$$$$ for the plane ticket.
3. Coconut Water. I know this doesn't count as a hunger-defying snack, but forreals, the electrolytes and potassium found naturally in this water top all choices in energy drinks. Add some chia seeds to make it more power punched.
Back to the beginning of this post of "digestion challenges". Part of these challenges are derived from returning from a developing country that lacks strong health and clean water standards, but the second is not having a good work-life balance. It doesn't matter how many vegan meals the Wankstronomist eats, or how many chia frescas she drinks. If there isn't work-life balance where a person can do a quality job at work and still meet up with friends for fun, exercise for mental well-being, and have time to catch up with loved ones far away; life's just not as great as it can be. When life's not at awesome as it's meant to be, our minds and bodies respond. Skin rashes flare up, insomnia creeps in, depression burdens our shoulders, or if you're like me, you might not be able to poop.
So readers, I wish you healthy eating, happy living, and balance and peace, because you deserve to feel good about yourself.
WANKSTRONOMIST, OUT
