paleo pancakes made with 2 eggs and 10 egg whites, flax seed, coconut flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger powder, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract. topped with a dollop of coconut oil, which i mixed with the almond milk i made and just a little bit of blue agave. it was no raw butter, but it was pretty good!

a few relatives came over to spend the night yesterday. this morning, they were so confused about what i was doing as i was making my BAB. first, taiwanese people have no concept of health, fitness, or clean diets. secondly, i spent about three minutes explaining to my aunt, that, yes, i am eating all that in one breakfast.
“oh, you made all of that so that you could eat one pancake a day?”
“no, this is my breakfast.”
“i understand, but you are eating one per day for the next few days?”
“no, i am eating all of this for breakfast. today.”
“okay, but what you mean is one pancake for breakfast right now, then another one tomorrow?”
“…”
finally, her daughter jumped into the conversation to tell her that, yes, i am eating ALL of the pancakes pictured for ONE breakfast. silly aunt. also, they are under the impression that eating with convenience in mind (i.e., preservative-laden “foods” from convenience stores and fast food restaurants. addictive additives. how do those chemicals and carcinogens taste =P? ) is okay, but fats are not okay. so misled. sigh. =(
i could not find raw butter (surprise. =P). i did find anchor new zealand unsalted, which is grass-fed, so i bought that. i tried eating a little chunk of it. it was pretty good. i was really bloated at the end of the day, though, and i am not sure if it’s because of the butter or all of the peppers i ate. perhaps both? dairy and nightshades. i’m going to try again with the butter and stay away from peppers for a week. we’ll see what happens.
keep on carrying on in the pursuit of awareness, and, of course, happiness! E>
