4 more days and I'm having popcorn tonight!

That's right. Popcorn. LOST starts tonight. This is HUGE. I've been waiting for this day for like 8 months and I just need popcorn there with me.

I had the best salad of my life last night! I also wore a sombrero and sang OLAY, OLAY OLAY OLAY... no, I really didn't, but we had Mexican and I got right into it.

Tofu and Spinach Salad with a Lime Avocado dressing

Dressing

1 clove garlic, peeled

1 ripe avocado

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (I used much more)
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon cayenne
Inch of salt

Combine all in a food processor or blender, play with the water and oil to get disired consistency. Set aside some of the thick avocado dressing to use for burrito.

Tofu

In a small skillet, heat oil, some garlic, and a bit of grated ginger. Add Tofu and cook until lightly browned. Sprinkle sesame seeds.

Salad

Spinach, Scallions, Corn Chips

Bean Burritos

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup water
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
Salt to taste
A handful of spinach
A handful of romaine lettuce
2 wheat free/gluten free rbown rice wraps
2 slices soy cheese

Heat kidney beans and mash. Heat oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic for 5 minutes. Stir in chili powder and cumin, and cook 1 minute. Stir in water and mashed kidney beans. Add salt. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir in spinach and cook 5 minutes more. Spoon 1/4 of the bean mixture into the middle of a wrap, top with cheese and melt. Add lettuce, wrap it, and garnish with some avacado dressing.

Just found your blog... I ordered the book tonight but won't get it for a while. Wondering how you found the detox overall - was there much weight loss? The green tea you drank - did it have caffeine? Can I drink that instead of coffee in the mornings to curb caffeine withdrawal headaches? Can you tell me about the foods you're allowed and not allowed? Are there quantity restrictions? I assume you can't eat an entire box of cereal every day... what does the book say about quantities? Thanks for any info...
