First thing's first salamba sarvangasana
The Daily Doodle: Salamba Sarvangasana followed by sites from a (relatively) foggy morning jaunt on Mission Bay, San Diego.
Salamba Sarvangasana: Supported Shoulder Stand
Sa: with
Alamba: support
Sarva: all
Anga: limb
If this is an inversion you enjoy, work your way up to holding this pose for 3-5 minutes a day. With this daily asana, any anxiety will fall by the wayside. This is a wonderful pose for the thyroid, as you can see on the doodle, the glands in her neck are being stimulated with the fold of her chin against her chest.

The Breakfast Tree
The Daily Doodle: What I had for breakfast this morning: eggs, spinach smoothie, Nespresso cappuccino, apples with almond butter, and a Think Thin bar. Think Thin bars are probably not the most sustainable of sustenance, but, man, am I a fan. The Tai Chi class and Hubby's back-side are snapshots from my morning bike-ride vantage point.

Shop Lunch Tan
The Daily Doodle: Shop Lunch Tan not Tan Lunch Shop because I like to hit the stores first thing, when the parking lot is still empty, the help is still helpful and the goods on display haven't been thrown about in disarray. It's always a good idea to break for lunch, and when sunning do not forget to accessorize your swimwear! PS: Yes, this is the weather in San Diego today.

The Great American Pumpkin Hangover
The Daily Doodle: After far too much popcorn and dark chocolate (with caramel and sea salt!) I am happy to bid adieu to all that is orange and black and welcome in my favorite month, November. My birthday, my mother's birthday, Thanksgiving, the start of the holiday season... what's not to love. I plan on welcoming November with a major dose of green for extra glow factor and an added pep to my step.

Pumpkin Bread, for you Punkin, and gluten free if you want it to be.
The Daily Doodle: Pumpkin Bread adapted from the Ocean Beach People's Organic Foods Co-Op News.
1 15oz. can pumpkin puree
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup agave, maple syrup or a mixture of both
1 1/2 cups Pamela's Gluten-Free Pancake Mix -or- 1 1/2 cups flour plus 1 tsp baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped, optional
1/2 cup raisins, optional
1/2 cup chocolate chips. optional
1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Grease and flour or line with paper loaf pan, cupcake pan or other.
3. In a large bowl mix eggs, oil, water and sweetener.
4. In another bowl sift together Pamela's or flour and soda, salt, and spice.
5. Combine wet and dry ingredients until incorporated, gently fold in nuts/raisins/chocochips.
6. Bake a loaf about 50 minutes, muffins around 20 minutes: until a toothpick comes out clean.
This is a mildly sweet bread to get the month started. Subtle enough to be enjoyed with soup or salad.
