Ed – You are so smart! I cooked an eggplant again, but I halved it first! It came out much better! That and cooking it at the proper temperature. THANK YOU!

It IS so sweet. I loved it. I was just so happy because I just loved it so much. Your mom and dad would probably “win” at the next wedding. And you and Dirtman will win at your grandchild’s wedding.

I am not one for competing and I don’t have to “win”, but this would be one of those things where I would LOVE to win! It would be a double win!

This is so sweet. This year my parents will be married 62 years. Hubby and I will be married 30 in a few months.

Comment on Simple Stretches Could Bring Relief by terrepruitt

Ha, ha! There you go! Nia has a lot more than 52 Moves. And many other practices and exercise disciplines use some of the same moves and poses. I always love when something I have learned elsewhere is in Nia or vice-versa! It helps prove that it works!

I actually think of it as Embryonic because to me this is part of what I do in Stage One of the Nia Five Stages. But the Tootsie Roll seems to be less movement . . . . but I still THINK of it as Embryonic. I guess maybe Carlos is doing “Embryonic” on page 241, more movement.

Thanks for being here, Jill!

The tootsie roll…I have no idea why it’s called that…but on page 240 of The Nia Technique book, it shows Debbie doing what you’re describing in the spinal twist-like movement where one leg starts the move to the other side and the other follows. I llllllloooooove this move; I love taking my time with it. It actually feels much better to my lower back than an actual spinal twist. Great blog post, as usual, Terre!!!

Comment on Homemade Hummus – Needs Some Work by terrepruitt

Thank you so much for commenting, Honey. It seemed a bit less salty as the flavors melded. Thank you again for commenting. And thanks for eating all my experiments.

It was not too salty for me. This is unusual as I don’t like salt nearly as much as Terre. I found the hummus very tasty. A wonderful job babe.

Good to know that you can get tahini at the grocery store. I kinda figured I could, but I never remembered to look! So that is why I just bought it online one day while I was thinking about it! I think I like less lemon juice. And by “wanting it light” and adding yogurt you just stretch it out a bit, right? A little bit of the hummus flavor but less bean fat?
