Recipe: Sesame Chia Bread Recipe »
I decided to make them into a bread so that I could have a slice mid morning and then be done with sugary temptations. The bread recipe comes from Johanna from GreenGourmetGiraffe who adapted a recipe from the Bourke Street Bakery cookbook. It's an easy to make recipe that made two neat loaves-I liked Johanna's tip on shaping two rounds to make an old fashioned looking loaf. Don't worry if at first you think the crust is too thick or hard, it softens soon after it comes out of the oven and becomes juuust right.
When I first heard of chia seeds, I thought that had something to do with the chia pets. It turns out the word for these very healthy seeds come from the Mexican language Nahuatl where the word chian means oily. I have started eating them as they're said to be good for you but I find that these combined with the warm weather means that I get less hungry during the day and less prone to snacking or becoming deliriously hungry and succumbing to a piece of cake.
Dear Reader, do you ever wonder about the etymology of words? That is, where words first originated and how they have changed over the years. Do you ever make up words entirely? I was recently on a whirlwind of a trip and sitting on a train which was rapidly crossing borders. Around me, things were whizzing past, people were walking up and down the aisles and the constant stimulation played havoc with my jetlag. I said to my travelling companions "I feel like I'm aslake" which to me sort of meant asleep awake. And there was no better word to describe what we were all feeling.
Another time I was watching youtube and came across Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Child. Now, I'm occasionally up for train wreck television but I was alarmed when I saw what could have been an adorable child being quite "undorable."
So tell me Dear Reader, have you seen Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Child? And have you ever had the feeling of being aslake? ;)
