Common Sense

Brunch again this morning! I "breakfast-fied" some of my leftovers by scrambling an egg and tossing in some spinach.

Then concluded with dessert plate: Dad's Fen Li Su, cranberries, and pitted dates.

As I was watched MSNBC Health this morning, I just couldn't understand why they would spend time and money producing their "Four Worst Breakfast Foods" segment. Take a look:

I understand how Kashi, a supposed health brand, would shock a lot of people...(well.... I think the public has known for a long time that granola was packed with sugar...) but the rest of the "bad choices" seem to be common sense.

MSNBC... you mean to tell me that the Jimmy Dean breakfast bowl with pancakes and sausages weren't healthy?

And that the Entenmann's an iced honey bun was full of sugar?

And even a bagel slathered with butter and cream cheese wasn't low-carb nor low-fat?

Well... my world has been turned upside down...

Yes... James Franco

I got up  later than expected this morning so I made myself a filling brunch instead of the usual smoothie. This consisted of a fresh spring mix salad with pitted dates, walnuts, and Asian sesame dressing with a side of whole wheat English muffin and poached egg.





It was so filling that it lasted me almost 5 hours! After I got home, I made another salad with broiled tofu and kale on a bed of Romain lettuce. Wanting some carbs, I paired this with half of an English muffin and a spread of fresh avocado.





To satisfy my sweet tooth, I made a plate of dried mango, pitted dates, and a Clementine orange.





After lunch I just wanted to sprawl out on my bed and watch a movie. Today's pick? 127 Hours starring none other than the fabulous James Franco.

 


Seriously... can someone tell me why he's so gorgeous?!

Okay, I have to say I'm a little biased since I'm basically in love with James Franco but this movie was indeed very good! The amputation was really hard to watch (actually I turned away for most of it) but every other time I couldn't keep my eyes off the screen. I would definitely recommend this movie for those not faint of heart...

Despite some of the semi-gruelsome scenes, I encountered a nibbling attack during the movie so I fixed another plate with dried apricots, natural peanut butter, walnuts, wheat thins and a slice of cheese.





Now if I can get myself to concentrate on OChem after staring at His Hotness for two hours...
