Something Different

Something Different on TV:  Yay! The Walking Dead is back.  Any other Walking Dead fans out there?  Our household is positively obsessed, and we were so excited that it was back on last night.  However, I found the episode to be a little anti-climatic for a mid-season premiere.  Still great, though.

Zoooooombies.

 

Something Different to Read:  Thanks for all your classic book suggestions!  Your suggestions could fill my reading list for the next year.  I especially liked the Margaret Atwood endorsements; she’s one of my favorite writers.  As I said in the post, The Handmaid’s Tale is my #1 favorite book of all time, but I also really like Surfacing and Oryx and Crate.  However, I think my next book is going to be Fahrenheit 451, mostly because I can’t believe I haven’t read it (I don’t think I have, but you know how books are sometimes).

My Six Favorite Novels About Dystopias <— Although I need to add Divergent to the list!

 

Something Different to Eat:  Curry Eggs!

These eggs are really easy to make but are so different than the normal scrambled eggs.  All you need is:

 

Big glob of nutritional yeast

Dash of curry

Dash of garlic salt

Splash of milk

 

Here is a picture of mine + the Husband’s eggs so you can see the proportion of the ingredients.  From the top and clockwise:  curry, garlic salt, milk, nutritional yeast.

Soooo delicious.  Different is good!

Have a great Monday!

 

What’s different in your life?

    I feel asleep during The Walking Dead last night. 🙁

  • Paige @ Your Trainer Paige February 11, 2013, 9:52 am

    YES! Love Walking Dead…but HATE the commercials. We DVR’d it, so we’ll be watching it tonight. Can’t wait 🙂

  • Shannon February 11, 2013, 10:13 am

    Hmm I have never had curried eggs. In the recipe when you say curry do you mean curry powder or curry paste?

  • Nadiya @ Milk and Honey on the Run February 11, 2013, 10:15 am

    Thanx for the suggestions and love the curry eggs ideas 🙂

  • Angela Daffron February 11, 2013, 10:16 am

    Love Walking Dead! You have to follow the hashtag for the full entertainment though. Check out the tweets at #TheWalkingDead! Hilarious!

  • Gwen February 11, 2013, 10:27 am

    HUGE Walking Dead fans. We DVR’d it. Will need to get myself back into the right frame of mind to watch it after work one night this week. I LOVE it, but watch it from behind a pillow…

  • Rachel @ RachelRuns29.11 February 11, 2013, 10:29 am

    Love The Walking Dead……not to get to nerdy on you, and I am NOT a comic book person but I started reading the comic book (the show is based off of it) just because I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It’s no Ray Bradbury but it does the trick and my anticipation doesn’t kill me for 8 months of the year waiting:)

    When I clicked on the “What I’m reading now” link at the bottom of your page, where it shows the past entries, it took me to an ad for “Resurgence,” twice.

    :/

  • Sarah @ Yogi in Action February 11, 2013, 10:49 am

    Mmm- those eggs look delicious!

    I’ve never watched “Walking Dead” but after watching “shawn of the dead” I had zombie dreams all night, so I feel like I should probably stay away from it!

  • Kristy @ Kristy's Health Revolution February 11, 2013, 10:50 am

    I definitely thought the episode was a little on the boring side last night, but they built up for a lot of crazy stuff to come for the rest of this season! Love Walking Dead!

  • Lauren February 11, 2013, 10:54 am

    curry eggs sound delicious! I keep hearing good things about Walking Dead. I’m in need of a new show so this might be the one.

  • Allison February 11, 2013, 11:11 am

    I thought Walking Dead was great last night! I think Rick is gonna go nuts.

  • Christine @ BookishlyB February 11, 2013, 11:19 am

    Definitely read F451. I’ve taught it a few times to my high school students and develop a deeper appreciation every time. The NEA did a “Big Read” of it several years ago and have a ton of really awesome resources to compliment your reading (I know, English teacher dork alert).

  • Natalie @ will jog for food February 11, 2013, 11:23 am

    So glad The Walking Dead is back!! Good to see crazy Rick is back, haha.

    My new obsession is Downton Abbey. I started watching season 1 on Sunday morning and couldn’t stop! Hopefully I’ll be all caught up by the end of the week.

    • Rebecca February 11, 2013, 1:29 pm

      My roommate and I started Downton in January and I’m pretty sure we finished a season in less than a week. You can do it! I think I’m just one episode behind now. 🙂 Though the episodes tend to get a little longer as each season progresses–which is fine by me. 🙂

  • Katie @ Talk Less, Say More February 11, 2013, 11:33 am

    What a great idea to add nutritional yeast to the eggs! I’m new to using nutritional yeast and always looking for new ways to use it.

  • Amanda February 11, 2013, 11:58 am

    Your breakfast looks delicious! I wish I had the energy for anything more than a meal bar before noon.

    Separately, the Walking Dead: I hate zombies (like, not even kidding, I have awful, almost real dreams about them–shamblers and runners alike), but I can’t stop looking when I catch a glimpse of the Walking Dead when my boyfriend is watching it.

  • Brittney February 11, 2013, 1:05 pm

    Ah, we should have talked about Walking Dead when you were over yesterday, I didn’t know you watched it! Greg and I are midway through season 2 on Netflix. I can’t say that I’m as hooked yet as I was with Breaking Bad at this point, but it’s pretty good, and I still wanna see happens next.

  • Jacquelynn February 11, 2013, 1:22 pm

    What’s different in my life? My almost 17 week pregnant belly starting to poke out 🙂 I love reading your weekly pregnancy updates in the archives!

    • Caitlin February 11, 2013, 1:36 pm

      yay congrats 🙂

  • Rebecca February 11, 2013, 1:32 pm

    I’ve seen a few episodes of Walking Dead, but I’m not a huge fan… Now, Once Upon a Time, on the other hand… I need to rewatch last night’s episode. Oops. I got the jist of it and was able to explain most of it to my roommate, but I need to give it my full attention this time.
    I’ve never been a huge fan of zombie/scary movies, but I saw Zombieland (I think that’s it, anyway) on Halloween and thought it was pretty great. I may have to see Warm Bodies at some point because it looks kind of hilarious.

  • Jessica R @ From the Kitchen to the Road February 11, 2013, 1:57 pm

    Yum! I want some curry eggs.

  • Katie @ Peace Love & Oats February 11, 2013, 2:01 pm

    I also had a different breakfast today – polenta! I cooked it with 1/2 almond milk and 1/2 water and added pepper, salt, and nutritional yeast and topped it with a runny egg. It was so good! Definitely showing up in my rotation from now on.

  • pam February 11, 2013, 2:29 pm

    It was anticlimatic..my hus said it is building..i said build faster..lol

  • Amanda February 11, 2013, 3:23 pm

    What’s different for me is that I’ve just started yoga teacher training – so excited!!

  • Sharisse February 11, 2013, 3:26 pm

    My husband and I are Walking Dead fans!!! I feel so lame being this excited, but we are really into our TV shows! Have you ever tried The Vampire Diaries? I am not a Twilight fan and I tell people to just get over the vampire fact (some people have told me, “Sorry, but I don’t ‘do’ vampires”), because otherwise it’s an AMAZING show. Great cast and story line. It’s our favorite show. 🙂

  • emma` February 11, 2013, 4:39 pm

    If you liked Oryx and Crake you should read The Flood! Also, not distopian but Cat’s Eye and The Blind Assassin are really great!

  • Amber K February 11, 2013, 9:01 pm

    I recently reread Fahrenheit 451 and it was just as boring as I remember it being in high school. I am the worst at enjoying “classics.”

  • Mika February 12, 2013, 1:29 pm

    Did you notice Hines Ward as one of the Zombies? http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/hines-ward-scores-cameo-walking-dead-zombie-article-1.1261260 He’s in the scene when Rick’s group is killing zoombies while escaping from Woodbury. So great to have the show back. Great egg recipe too. I never thought to use yeast in place of cheese. I bet it’s delicious.

  • Laura February 12, 2013, 10:37 pm

    I’ll have to try eggs that way, they sound delicious. I’ve been a curry fiend lately! I’ve been loving it with tofu cooked in coconut oil, with a splash of Bragg’s Amino’s. Yum 🙂
