Ok well don't get over excited. I am anything, but fluent. 日本語はとても難しいですでもがんばります I also got a free Great Course on Japanese on Prime from book points. Which means going back to the basics and working up again. From English to Japanese that's what it takes, mindful complete repetition. I don't expect to be anywhere soon, but I'm planning on sticking with it. Since they added new content there are now several new levels before the refresh. If you want to know why I am learning it is because I practice Soto Zen Buddhism. I also like JRock 😅. ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧

I did end up doing about a 35 minute workout (unstructured because I was feeling a bit sad) so therefore good food. Hokkien noodles with Hoisin Sauce (store bought to save time) also with tofu, orange, green, and red peppers, onion, mushrooms plus a few chili flakes and some garlic powder.

Mediocre Vegan Stroganoff Saturday! Annie's organic vegan mac (cheese packet, almond milk, vegan cream cheese, some extra dairy free cheese) Morning Star meatless crumbles (just a half a cup, but they are there and add a lot more protein), a little Nutritional Yeast on top, and most importantly organic mixed veggies, from frozen. A Poppi Shirley Temple soda too. I'm not always for junk food....but sometimes....😅

Yet another 10/10 from Rainbow Plant Life. I added a few of my own ingredients. Green olives, Follow Your Heart feta, and Balsamic reduction (which is my new addiction). I also forgot the cilantro 😅 I still have some left so I'll add a little in the leftover batch or throw some on top. I did about a 3/4 of the poblano pepper which made it mildly spicy. The recipe is on this page with a few other easy recipes. 20 Minute High Protein Vegan Meals - Rainbow Plant Life https://rainbowplantlife.com/20-minute-high-protein-vegan-meals/

Killer Dave's Bread, crunchy peanut butter, and Modern Milk Omega salad topper. I think it's a fair midnight snack since I'm on my lady time and I worked out today. It was delish with a cup of almond milk.

OMG 🤤! A American classic gone VEGAN! PLUS! I used my creative cooking brain to adjust from a base recipe. Started with this https://avirtualvegan.com/easy-vegan-cheese-sauce/#recipe I basically one and a halfed it. But I also added vegetable bullion because it was a sauce so I made it soupie. Plus lots of pepper and a touch of plant-based cheese (for thickness). Used frozen broccoli though (to stay safe from cyclosporsis, plus easier), but organic. The white wine vinegar made it more mature and chedderie. So it was very improvised, but absolutely delicious. Also thanks to Redditers I went with a silken tofu recipe! And it went so well!

Omg! 🤤😋 The tofu haters are missing out. This was soooo good. So easy to make and vegan. Tossed some mirin, vegan oyster sauce, and soy sauce in with some tofu. Tofu goes on top. YUM! I'm going to have some Kimbap too. 🌱 Great dinner after Buddhist service.

Vegan breakfast of champions: Tofu scramble with nutritional yeast and vegan cheese topped with pico de gallo and guacamole salsa. Raspberries and blueberries. Morning star vegan sausage. Bagel with vegan cream cheese. Coffee with light brown sugar and almond milk. And water today for prime health and hydration.

Japanese (93) has gotten so challenging. Im finding some supplemental stuff, but it's a language that takes time. French (78) is going fairly well just slowly sliding along. It helps to have taken it previously.

Organic baby kale, baby spinach, baby chard base (by name Power Greens), organic English cucumber, organic Roma tomatoes, avocado, alfalfa, broccoli, and kale sprouts, a few capers, Omega 3 trail mix: cranberries, mango, almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds. Skinny girl raspberry vinaigrette.

After the super linear learning style they just include random input of sentencing. My goal was to get to the refresh and just grind Kanji. Hardly any previous use of word input in daily lessons and of course now the flashcards that have cotton balls in their ears. Now it's complex sentencing. Plus hardly any interactive story line anything. I am thankfully gaining more supplemental learning. I am not the sharpest crayon in the box and this is a reasonable past time since I can't work, but this needs organization and sun to help it grow. I put in about an hour or so a day and I'm a day away from two years of a streak since the second or third day. I know it takes time, but this was such an odd jump forward.

Organic multigrain bread, Follow Your Heart vegan feta crumbles, organic Roma tomatoes, organic English cucumber, and Alessi balsamic reduction. I don't care much about the picture because it was really good. I've been upping my nutrition on my girl days and it's been paying off.
