Man this week flew by quickly.  A side note to all the presidential nominees - if someone makes an official 4 day work week part of their platform, I will vote for them. 

I got into the habit this week of going to the gym after work, which I really love.  The enormous mid town Crunch is very different from the tiny Brooklyn one.  They have a much more functional sauna, which I treat myself to after every work out.  It’s pretty much the best thing in the world. 

I did try my maple roasted brussel sprouts again, but this time I nixed the kale, only because it was to complicated at whatever super late, post gym hour I was getting home at.  My recipe looked something like:

2 cups brussels sprouts

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 tablespoons maple syrup

3 tablespoons balsamic

salt & pepper

This time they tasted way better, but were way sweeter then I want them to be.  Meanwhile, while the brussels cooked, I made a brown rice salad inspired by something I saw my former roommate, M, make once.  I was just some cooked brown rice thrown in with some chopped up veggies and parsley.  Tasty enough, plus it lasted for days.
