Let's talk about food baby.....let's talk about you and me....ha!

What the hell..with the title. I know!

My roommate and I get hungry very late at night these days. Usually after cereal for breakfast I don’t eat lunch until 4 p.m. So with nights being so busy dinner is almost forgotten until my stomach cries in hunger.

So today we were debating between sharing a soup or something else. Earlier in the week she offered me little sheet of seaweed and I tried it out. At first the taste was…a little weird…but after that I have been wanting to try more. It kind of tastes like fish to me. So tonight we had a little microwavable container of rice and these adorable boxes of seaweed. It was yummy! We had some hot sauce, wrapped the rice in sushi style, and indulged in our late night dinner.


Here is some information I found on seaweed:


Key benefits of seaweed
Seaweed is a good source of selenium and iodine. It has anti-cancer effects and provides soluble fibre and omega 3 fats. It promotes thyroid health.

How much seaweed should you eat?
Seaweed is high in calories and is a very concentrated form of nutrition. Nori is dried and pressed into sheets and is often eaten with sushi. As little as 25g per week will top up iodine levels sufficiently.

Maximising the benefits of seaweed
Sometimes vegetarians develop a shortage of iodine and selenium. Seaweed can solve both these problems by adding important nutrients to the diet.

I am not shopping at Cub Foods this weekend for my weekly food instead I am going straight to the Asian store. I will bring back some goodies for my roommate. Oh yea, this Sunday I have dinner plans with few people to try some of my Sri Lankan food! Yea! It’s the perfect week for this because my parents have given me message that they have cooked a ton and will continue to cook more this weekend.

can't wait.

I went to see “Shakespere in Love” tonight. It was free so that was nice.
