Every step I took today was a chore. At each twist of a sarcomere, each stretch of a muscle, C-fibers were relentless in sending out impulses to the CNS. Nevertheless, protocols and procedures meant that I still had to return to lab. Obviously I wasn't very productive today, with movements seemingly carried out in rewind mode. I was down with full-blown flu sympmtoms, from high fever, to chills, aching bones, dry cough and heavy chest. It's still raging.
Today's breakfast was a new creation: raw oats+chia (Rude's Health The Oatmeal)and raw buckwheat groats soaked separately overnight (oats soaked in skimmed goat's milk and buckwheat in water) in 50-50 ratio. In the morning, I rinsed the buckwheat well to get rid of the slime (lab experience tells me that you'd need a good 5-6 rinses to clean it completely). The oats were still gritty so I microwaved the mix after addition of cinnamon, vanilla extract and protein powder. Then I combined the oats and buckwheat groats, added chopped Ambrosia apple and topped with a medley of nuts, raisins and tahini. I think the 50-50 oat/buckwheat ratio strikes the perfect balance between bitterness and earthiness (buckwheat) and creaminess (oats). Lurrve Ambrosias! Tomorrow I'll probably be having oats again - best cure for viral flu
