More. I wanted more. Needed red, needed berries, needed lots of luscious paint. It could be the gazillion Benedryl I took just to get some sleep last night. Or it could be all that talk of underwear yesterday on copyblogger. I am not sure, but today I woke up (meaning I did get some non-coughing sleep) wanting lots of red, red , red. Hmm, feeling better are we? Or is it just good medicine? Well, the sun is out. The paint felt good. And I haven't coughed in, oh, ten minutes.....things are looking up. I have said this before, but it truly amazes me how even when I feel awful, sometimes being in the painting zone makes everything else just fall away, recede to irrelevance. And the paint works its magic. You've felt it haven't you? Whether it's a workout, or a well loved task. Time passes around you, but unknown to you. That engagement, that intense concentration, ahh we're talking zone-a -licious. Someone said that 90% of success is mental. I believe it. Today, my mental part said we are having us some red. And we did.

Here's the link to Ilva's favoloso
SAFFRON YOGURT WITH SPICY HONEY AND PUFFED QUINOA
Janice,
the first time around I made it exactly as Ilva describes it in her recipe, except that I grated the ginger (which I still do), but without the quinoa (because I had none in the house). Now I usually make a quick version of it, without saffron, only with grated ginger, cardamom (I like to grind the cardamom seeds with mortar and pestle, using the flat side of a big knife will powder them nicely also), and honey. Mornings I may add a bit of muesli, but most of the time I eat it as a welcome snack when I crave something sweet. Adding only ginger and honey with half a banana makes for a quick light dinner.
Bon appetit!
