I'm doing the protein dance!

Today
I was quite busy again with studies so my girlfriend was kind enough to
pack me a big lunch: two bananas, a container with some hummus and
taboule, a ziploc bag of her living bread, and a container of chopped
up mango- even a one oz. bag of sunflower seeds found its way into my
lunch bag. Isn't that great? She made me a salad for breakfast onto
which she sprinkled 2 tbsp of hemp seed. While at the unversity I
managed to eat the sunflower seeds
during my second class. I ate the banana during a break. I ate the
hummus and bread on the drive home. I had the mango late in the
evening, and then a little snack of gouda and pumpkin seeds for my
protein (it's therapy!). I couldn't help but be curious about my
protein intake so I
looked at nutritiondata.com and found that I'd had no less than 45
grams of protein today!! I was so happy. 23 of those came from my hemp
and seeds, and 8 from the cheese. Yesterday some guy at the
university saw me eating "pepitos" (pumpkin seeds) and went on and on
about how healthy they are and how I should make sure any man in my
life eats them. You never know how your food will inspire someone. :-)
When
I got home today my girlfriend was in the midst of dehydrating
something new- some concoction she'd made up with carob, olive oil,
dates and ground nuts. It tasted like a carob pie crust- good stuff,
but something she'd be more likely to snack on than I would, since I'm
not much of a sweets person. However, I suggested to her that we mold her dough into little bowl shapes and
dehydrate them, and then make banana "ice cream." You can guess what I'm envisioning, right? If we do it,
I'll take pictures!
