New things

I reserved a place in a yoga workshop held by yin yoga guru Paul Grilley. Although I've only been doing yin for couple of weeks now, it's something that sits very well with me and an opportunity to study with Paul is not an opportunity that comes by every day. The workshop is ten hours in three days and contains practice and lectures about anatomy, chi, chakras and meridians. Looking forward to it.

I also learned something new today: in Canada coriander is called cilantro. I have been wondering why I haven't come across coriander here - in England it's a very much used, even fashionable herb. So having discovered the secret, I bought a big bunch today and made some wild Coho salmon with cilantro in the oven, topped with chili, garlic and leek sauce.

In Southsea when we were both working so hard and spending little time at home we often shopped only once a week, bought lots of groceries and put some to the freezer to be taken out during the week. This however meant that I could use fresh stuff, herbs, vegetables, whatever, only in the start of the week, and by the end of the week it all came out of a can. Now, I'm a house wife - or unemployed (and I don't know which sounds worse) I have time to get fresh food every day if need be... I'm only limited by my imagination, and of course Dragon's taste buds (which can be quite a limitation in itself).
