This is a recipe my dear friend Amy made for a recent party we attended together. Not only are they delicious, they're pretty and filling! Vegan and delicious don't always cross paths in my experience, so wahoo!Note: I input all the info into Weight Watchers, and it came out to 1 point per spring roll, but I think it is even less, as I ended up with lots of extra veggies at the end. The sauce come...
My delicious lunch today!! I could see heating this up, adding maybe some red onion, and/or adding a favorite meat to make it a shared dinner for two. There's lots here to dig into.1 cup black beans1/2 cup cooked corn kernels (I didn't cook, just fresh from the can)1/2 medium sweet red pepper, seeded and chopped4 medium scallions, sliced1/4 cup cilantro, chopped2 Tbsp fresh lime juice1 tsp olive o...
As I type this, our troupe is in the middle of the busiest performance season we have had in of years. By mid-March, we will have had eight performances in three weeks, when in the previous months we had closer to one performance every eight weeks. And as I type this, my co-director Renee is about ready to bring her new daughter Rose into the world, and has been on maternity leave since the beginn...
Personally, these events will be my first performances in 6 months! My foot is on the mend, and I'm itching to perform for you all. Hope you will come and lend your enthusiastic zaghareets to the audience and make these shows to remember!Two Birds Tattoo Grand Opening7408 Greenwood Ave NFREE11am-7pm performance by inFusion Tribal at 5pminFusion Tribal's favorite tattoo artist is opening her own st...
Slow Cooker Red Bean, Sausage and Rice Soup 4pts per serving8 servings (1.5 cups per serving)Could sub chicken broth for veggie broth, and chicken sausage for veggie sausage, and I imagine it would be just as yum for my vegetarian/vegan friends. 1 medium garlic clove(s), minced 1 medium red onion(s), chopped 1 large celery, rib, chopped 1 medium green pepper(s), chopped 15 oz c...
We have a troupe rule. Never dance at an Eagles Hall.And this is why.The Eagles have a policy whereby you can use the Eagles Hall for your event, but their members MUST still retain access. So it isn't just your place; their members are still walking about. And if you know anything about the Eagles, they tend to be older gentlemen of a particular demographic...good ol' boys 'round these parts.The...
Tribe isn't as dead as many people think, and over on Shira's tribe, there has been a lot of eager discussion about bellydance fusion and its legitimacy as bellydance. Some purists posit that it is an insult to the cultures from which bellydance comes from to change it or fuse it in any way. I have long held the belief that the nature of human culture is that things grow, change, and evolve over t...
Over on tribe there is a discussion going on about soliciting feedback, and how to get honesty out of people rather than always having smoke blown up your patoot by well-meaning friends and family. Fariha has fantastic, almost obvious, advice that I am going to implement IMMEDIATELY:"They might be more honest if you show it to them as a work in progress. For example, take some girls getting ready ...
A change in my diet, and getting healthier physically, is only one of my ambitious goals for 2010 and beyond. Another major one for me is getting my home in order. I have fallen into some incredibly slack habits when it comes to daily organization and plain old cleanliness. I used to have a good excuse: I have had years of back problems where I couldn't even walk sometimes, so housecleaning and ti...
Over on Momma Paulette's blog she wrote late last year about moving with grace while still being grounded. I enjoyed this summation at the end of the post:That is what should happen in tribal when you are following your leader. The leader takes charge, listening to the music, and dancing with intention and deliberation, in the groove, and paying attention to who is following her. As a follower, yo...
This is what I made for myself for dinner last night. YUM! I had some veggies lying about that needed to get used, and it went great together. If I had realized I had broccoli hiding back there I woulda used that, too!Note that a cup of whole grain pasta is a point less than regular, but I am just not in the swing of it yet and didn't have whole grain fettuccine in the cupboard.I was out of fresh ...
I recently watched Bahaia's "Combinography" video. To be perfectly honest, I wasn't a huge fan of the content overall, but this one line was so well articulated, I had to share it with you!"Your dance is a way of expressing yourself. Would you like your dance to be more like a poem or an encyclopedia?While there's a lot of knowledge in an encyclopedia, it might not be as expressive as a poem. A p...
Here follows some rambling about making this year a better year, this decade a better decade, through new habits...Okay confession time: I have never been a very disciplined person. To be honest, and this is maybe gonna sound haughty, but as I was growing up, most things I was presented with came pretty naturally to me. Whatever I put my mind to, mentally or physically, I managed to do at least pa...
