Body Butter

Today was busy with errands but I did make it to the gym after 4 days. One of the instructors said hello to me and I didn't recognize her, but that's because she changed her hairstyle. She used to wear it up and now it's cut a bit shorter and as a result, no-one recognizes her. Good thing she didn't go blonde or something, then we really wouldn't know who it was!

I stopped by the currency exchange to get M's euros, and refilled a prescription. I got L some more body butter (cocoa and shea) as she swears by it for winter dryness but uses it all year. She says it's the only cream that doesn't burn open wounds. True enough, she smeared some on my cracked thumb the other night and it felt like new the next morning.

I baked some whole sea bass tonight and am about to try it. A lady at the grocery store told me to wrap it in foil. This grocery store is amazing, they have live whole fish and an assortment of fresh fish. I asked them to identify a few of them for me (the dead ones) and chose the sea bass. It's funny, on the radio this morning I heard them saying how fish seems to help ward against colon cancer and they were thinking it's due to the omega-3 and vitamin D that it contains.

Christine, that body butter sounds great! I have dry hands because I wash my hands so much. And I won't put lotion on because I'm cooking, making art, or whatever (don't want to get it on the stuff I'm working on). Consequently, I only moisturize at night--not optimal. I have heard that shea butter is very good for dry skin.

Ok, your sea bass sounds so yummy! How did it turn out? I love sea bass and order it whenever I can.

Japra, the sea bass was delicious. I decided to flavour it with green onion, ginger, soy sauce, and garlic, inspired by that fish dish you mentioned recently. Forgot to add some oil, I think.

Just a tad of sesame oil, but I don't think you missed it, did you? I KNOW it was delicious! Now I'm going to have to have some soon too :-)
