notes

Cheese consumed: Parmigiano-Reggiano
Dreams: Several, all rather unremarkable. Didn't bother remembering.

Banana and flaxseed wholemeal muffins
Caramelized onion, garlic and dill muffins

"The lignans in flaxseed appear to play a role in protecting against breast, colon, prostate, and perhaps skin cancer."

"Our study of 10 onion varieties and shallots clearly shows that onions and shallots have potent antioxidant and antiproliferation activities and that the more total phenolic and flavonoid content an onion has, the stronger its antioxidant activity and protective effect" — Rui Hai Liu, Cornell U

"Apart from offering strong tangy flavor, dill has many medicinal properties, which come from certain compounds called Monoterpenes. The protective Monoterpenes, are stimulants and activate secretions of an enzyme called glutathione-S-transferase (an power anti-oxidant) which is very effective in neutralizing carcinogens, particularly free radicals, thereby protecting from cancer." — source
