Two nights ago, I had a dream that I was making onigiri (rice balls). I’m sure this is related to my recent obsession with bento. I’m not sure I’d ever make onigiri for my bento… basically, I’m try to follow a restricted calorie diet as I shift my extra podge and get into running shape, blah blah, and rice is just not worth it – it’s far too high in calories for what you get. Perhaps I could make quinoa onigiri instead, though I’m not sure whether they’d stick together properly! Further, Rhys doesn’t really like rice, and it’s much easier to make bento-foods that we can both eat.
Last night I dreamt about zombies, although in my dream it wasn’t really clear that they were zombies… but at night time everyone looked for places to hide. So I suppose they were actually vampire zombies. I hate zombie movies. They freak me out and I dream about zombies for weeks. The weird thing is that I haven’t watched a zombie movie in a while, so I’m not sure where my dream came from. I’d been running from Hillarys to Fremantle in my dream, and I couldn’t find anywhere to hide – all the caves/hiding places were taken (I was at the beach in some seaside town that was a hybrid of something like Yanchep and Lagos in Portugal – somewhere I dream about a lot for one reason or another), and I didn’t want to sit at the front of the cave because then I’d be taken first… but I also didn’t want to be deep in the cave because I’d eventually get bitten anyway. It was really weird.
Back on the topic of food… I wonder how to cook quinoa for breakfast?
