kelex, and it fits right in with the ayurvedic counselling that I've been getting, and the ayurvedic diet I've been following:
***PITTA***
Your ayurvedic body type (dosha) is PITTA, composed
of the elements Fire and Water.
Pittas are strong-willed, fiery, light-eyed people
with warm, oily skin and good circulation who
tend to gain or lose weight easily. When
stressed, Pittas become irritable, angry, and
frustrated. Inflammations, rashes, ulcers,
heartburn, and fevers are common Pitta
ailments. Pittas do better in cool environments
and plenty of outlets for their energy.
To keep your dosha in balance, keep cool in your
emotions, your body, and your food. Avoid
caffeine, salt, alcohol, fried foods and oil,
red meat, and hot spices. Eat lots of fresh,
raw fruits and vegetables, dairy foods, and
whole grains, and emphasize sweet, bitter and
astringent flavors. Get plenty of fresh air
and find constructive ways to air out your
emotions and opinions as well.
If you really want to be miserable: Drink lots of
booze and eat lots of red meat and salty, spicy
food. Wear tight, hot clothes. Find the
hottest, stuffiest place you can, then stay
there. Do things you find frustrating and
bottle up your feelings about it.
What's your Ayurvedic Body Type?

I usually come out as pitta on the ayurvedic tests, but this time - since my system is somewhat out of balance and I need to lose weight - my ayurveic counsellor tells me I'm pitta-kapha these days. We're working on it.
The test Aliya gave me was far more comprehensive than this, of course, but it's interesting to see that the results aren't too far different.
Thanks,kelex!
A minor triumph of the day: I made soy milk from scratch. Well, in this case, that means from soybeans. It turned out to be fairly easy, though it takes time and a certain amount of care. It reminded me of making lemon meringue pie. The soy milk was a little thicker and stronger than it needs to be, but extremely delicious. I'll use a little more water in proportion to soybeans next time.
Nothing in the 'verse can stop me.
