It’s lunchtime and I’m eating Chinese food and watching Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
It’s just as breathtaking as it was when I first saw it in 2000.
I remember a friend saying, “It’s like they made a movie out of my dreams.” It’s true, the film is definitely dreamy. The scene below is the famous fight that takes place in the treetops of a lush bamboo forest. The actors don’t seem bound by the rules of gravity. It’s absolutely mesmerizing.
And the lunch was good too.
I’ve been meaning to try making cauliflower fried rice for a while now. Today’s recipe is based on a really good recipe that I found on Keto Connect. I decided to add in some chicken and ginger and these additions turned out really well. Too well maybe. Both my husband and I ate so much of it, we made ourselves sick. So I think it might be nap time here at my house.
Hopefully I’ll dream that I’m flying over the treetops.
