I'm so tired. I can barely formulate thoughts. I started my shift at 6am today, which of course means that i woke up at 4:45. For work I have to be "on" because I am going through driver's training (ambulance). That made my work hours drag.
Afterwards I went to take a test in my Statistics class. (ugh.)
It's about time for bed, but I have to wash up first.
I'm looking forward to seeing friends this weekend and Feist at the Hollywood Bowl.

Today's Earth Sheep horoscope
You'll suddenly be seized by a great desire for change; you may want to change your customary environment by undertaking a long travel, to change your job, or even to change your love partner! In any case, think thoroughly before making a decision. In your work, you can this time bring your most ambitious project to a successful conclusion and by the same occasion outdistance your hardest competitors. The affairs of the heart will receive the benediction of the stars; any tension will be eased off; and if you're single you'll meet your soul mate in the most unusual circumstances.

Today's Earth Sheep horoscope
Your amorous initiatives will be favored and ecstasy will be at hand. As you are no Superman or Hercules, don't underestimate the effects of overwork. If you're single, you'll be struck by love at first sight. You'll have some budgetary problems because you've been improvident. If you're decided to achieve a project or another, you'll have the means to do it and chance will help you. Give a helping hand to a friend in need.
...
I'm skeptical.

TEMPEH!
Food of the day: Tempeh
Some people might say, "Ew! tempeh." But I say, "Dang, I haven't had that in a long time."
It's a fermented soybean cake-ish thing, originally from Indonesia. It was scrumptious when I was vegetarian and ate at the Banyan House (sigh... too bad it closed down). The texture and taste can be a little weird for the novice, but the nutritional value (e.g. iron and calcium) for vegans and vegetarians is superb. Well, except for the saturated fat part. Everything in moderation, I guess.
How about some Tempeh fajitas?!
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (8 ounce) package tempeh, broken into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 1/2 cups chopped green bell pepper
1 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms, drained (I'd use a mix of brown, crimini, and shitake)
1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 tablespoon chopped green chile peppers
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
Directions
1. Marinate the tempeh for a few minutes in the soy sauce, lime juice, and a clove of minced garlic--enough for the it to soak up a little flavor.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute tempeh with a little more soy sauce and lime juice until tempeh browns.
3. Stir in bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, chile peppers, cilantro and dried onion.
4. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until fluids have reduced, stirring occasionally. Add water as needed to keep the tempeh from drying or burning.
Serve with corn tortillas or over white/brown rice. I'd also add a side of southwestern salad.
Hungry yet? I know I am.

On my quest to eat better (yes, i know, i have many quests), I am assembling a collection of restaurants and recipes to whet your appetite and spice up your life... and mine. I lost my desire to cook last year and want to kickstart my way back into it.
