Busy few weeks at work, got in some training, some yoga, big pain in butt, finally more cooking

The eye seems to be healing well! I do not know what the final vision will be but things are much clearer and brighter. I went to see both Dr. Dahringer and Dr. Chin for post-up. My next surgery date is May 14th so I will be taking a few days off so to recuperate and just to relax. I think eventually I will still have to wear reading glasses. It is amazing how the technology has advanced that the actual surgery takes about 20 mins.

Work is busy as usual but nothing like a month ago. There is still lots of work to be done. Since I am on many projects, I have split my time between all of them and need to learn to set priorities better.

I did get a few times to train with Jackie. I feel bad for her since she is going through a lot of stress and worries. All I can do is give her comfort and support. Hopefully things will all work out.

Meanwhile  I have been trying some bootcamp classes on Wed and Sat. At times you have to mix things up. I am going to try to get some people from work to go. I know for the ones who are fit, this will be a good challenge for them. The classes are hard, that's for sure. Some of the stuff, I don't do well. I really don't like running around the perimeter of the park. I think it is because I am so slow that to do 4 laps, it will take me a long time. I don't care about being last- just don't want to hold others up. This week there was running with the parachute but unfortunately I was not able to do it since my hip- hurts real bad. I saw my own massage therapist plus another one. I think my own massage therapist may have pinpoint the problem - tight TFS, tight hamstrings and tight inner thighs which was pulling. I went to spin class and after that it was yoga so hopefully that will help.

This weekend I was suppose to meet my trainer for training but we had to reschedule. Meanwhile I did some cooking. So here goes, this is on the menu:

Stuffed Portabello Mushrooms -

Stuffing: mashed avocados, juice of lemon, chopped olives, chopped artichoke hearts, chopped tomatoes, chopped onion, chopped garlic, salmon, gluten free bread toasted and crumbled, parsley, cinnamon, sesame seeds, asian dressing, basil , oregano, seafood spice, ginger, curry, nutritional yeast. Hopefully I got it all. Last week I made some, Jackie said it was real good. Of course I can't remember everything that went in.
I toss all that together and put it on top of the mushroom - I brushed each of the mushroom with a little oil and balsamic vinegar and bake at 450 until it is softened.

Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers -

My husband called it Jalapeno Poppers. All I did was to take some of the stuffing and added cream cheese and feta cheese and stuffed the  halves of the jalapeno peppers. Baked them at 450 until pepper is tender. I did not take them but my husband said they were good.

Flounder with cucumber sauce -

Cucumber sauce - chopped cucumbers, chopped shallots, garlic powder, lemon juice, added coconut yogurt and organic mayonnaise, black pepper and dill.

The fish - I battered fry them with garbanzo flour - The sauce I put on top. It is a thinner version of the greek yogurt sauce or similar to raita at Indian restaurants but it is my own concoction like all the other recipes you see her.

So guess what? Jackie always gets to taste it. I don't cook for many people because I feel I am just a mediocre person of cooking skills. but I do enjoy cooking though so I do not mind sharing my creations here on the blog.
