thanky, Per lol... i had a man ask me if he was ripe- referred to him as a melon and all. i told him he was made that way... he finished his comments by saying, "gosh, that's a big baby!" oddly, he was one of our "little" ones!
hi i posted a transitional recipe that may help. it uses soaked walnuts as a sub for meat. are you and hubby the only raw ones or are yr kiddos (6 WOW!) as well? a pretty decent fish sub is zucchini in flax or olive oil and fresh dill and cs salt. i made this one night with some cumin, cayenne, pepper & paprika and it reminded me of fried catfish. would a burrito party help? plates/bowls of various veggies grated/sliced/diced, tomatoes, guac, salsa & a pile of romaine leaves or nori sheets to wrap it all up in... hth
omigosh- i cannot imagine life w/o my blended melons now... and i used to loathe anything but watermelon! now, they're to me what coffee is to many- a beautiful start to my day!
Kim & i have been friends since nursery school (we were 3)- we are now 28 & 27. are interests have a habit of bringing us back 'round to one another... when we had our quarter of a century anniversary, we thought that it was strange we'd been on this rock that long but we thought it stranger still that we'd managed to still love each other after all this time. however, at this point, what would we do without each other, even if we didn't see eye to eye on everything (which we don't!)?
i am on a whole melon smoothie kick- i was just using a half melon each morning but am up to using the whole thing now! the ride back was stressful- the boys simply do not listen to me. sadly, i typically treat them as equals and hubby treats them like underlings, yet they usually listen to him. buncha crap. really makes me feel like such a failure... ugh. there is very little food in the house- since we didn't go shopping before we left. made a really lovely salad for my lunch today- corn kernels of 1 ear, half an orange bell pepper, 1 small tomato, couple Tbs diced red onion then mixed in a dressing made of flax oil, cs salt, blk pepper and nutritional yeast. after that i had freshly shelled peas, org pepper, onion & the same dressing- the corn salad was much better with that dressing, however. this morning i had a whole blended cantaloupe. around noon i had a carob shake (cashew butter, water, carob, nana). incredibly annoyed this morning- before we left we were sure to clean up the kitchen. upon our return the sink was full. thankfully, the "staff" is back so someone else will get it (also known as ME). my father mowed the lawn and took about a quarter of my veg garden with it. my unopened bottle of olive oil is "mysteriously" opened- i had taken the opened bottle with me to the in-laws. the good news is there are tomatoes in the garden! 3 of the plants have started fruiting! yay! they're cute lil' green globes... i need to stop procrastinating and get those melon seeds in the ground.
okee- we're going back tomorrow. had a sliver of wedding cake- beautiful to look at... not much to taste! so, looking forward to a huge canary melon smoothie when i get up in the morn! then a gs w/arugula and we should be off to the hfs to restock the road goodies... then on the road. success on the road!(the cake was planned... oh, well. i'll make myself a pie to feast on when we get back to my parents'.) later y'all! lol
hi, Mallory when i first went raw i had a bumpy redness across my face and chest. i also had rather horrendous itching on my legs, toes, and back. i 've been rather naughty in the last month or so, eating (rather, gorging) on cooked nightly. i've been back to 100% raw for the past week or so- the rash has not returned but my back is wicked itchy again! i guess i'm trying to say, yes- the rash is a normal detox symptom. you may notice relief more quickly if you went 100%. yr throat- try a spoonful of honey or agave with lemon juice. this will give you some comfort. gargling with salted water can help also. a banana/mint smoothie can help open you up a bit, mucous-wise, as can mint or raspberry leaf tea. i feel for ya! just remember that yr body's detoxing is it's way of saying "thanks for thinking of me!" and will pass in time. hth! ~*wytchy*~
lovely pic, Rosal one of my ncos was shipped there right before i was discharged from the af. no one was sad to see him go & he was thrilled to get out of ks. are the snakes as numerous as animal planet would have you believe?
so, i read everyone's recent replies the other day but had no time to write. thanks for all the input and support! thanky thanky thanky!! i will try the letter when i get a chance- probably when we're back from our trip. ugh, our trip... so NOT looking forward to it. began freaking out over it last night- got very moody and the cravings started but i came out on top (((((((wytchy sticks her tongue out at the craving monster))))))) that was the first time i'd had a craving for any yucko nonsense in DAYS!! and i've been cooking supper for the fam nightly! anyway, told hubby i've been craving exercise & that i plan on taking a lot of walks while we're @ his parents the next few days... i told him, "if Will and i disappear for a couple hours, it is needed & i'll be better upon our return." he thinks that's a good idea. been making a lot of alissa cohen's recipes lately... been happy with those. made a cherry pie today- it should be ready soon. i'm hoping it turns out okay- it's going to be my lunch (not the whole thing- maybe half! LOL) going to top it w/halved cherries & nana slices i think...) if it is decent, i'll post the recipe. really do not want to go on this trip... grrr... gnash gnash. lol
thanks, Sheryl! does this mean all recipes posted on the forum are in the book? and can this poor american purchase it? well, that was silly- of course i can... it being an e-book and all. lol i am so glad you enjoyed it- i made it for my supper one night last week but left out the carrot... way better with! this was one of my fave cooked vegan dishes- it was even published in a cookbook (so now it's in 2 forms and 2 different books- oh, i am a published writer after all! ) the other version had a peanut-pumpkin sauce... i'm thinking of trying this one with pureed butternut. probably would be easier using a champion to do this but i do not own one so i'll have to toil with the food processor. okee, i'm rambling... lol
why, yes, Harley, i do! hee hee hee... so i knew about the white blood cells from dr. sears' book about breastfeeding (aptly named "the breastfeeding book"). demineralized... more like lobotomized...
Joss, i really find it hard to outright say "i love you" to either of my parents. it is always conditional with them- everything i've ever done has either been not good enough or a complete failure or simply a fad that needs to be kabashed completely. always. that isn't even slightly an exaggeration. if they do something for you they expect something in return. they even do the same thing to my boys and hubby... it is really twisted. the only time i ever say it to either of them is at the end of a phone call & then it's all hurry & hang up. i have tried many times to end my life so that i could find peace & wouldn't have to hear them introduce me as their daughter-period-, this is our son- accolades-.... the only reason i didn't succeed is because i am still too hopeful of my life becoming what i want it to be. it is hard enough to live up to my own expectations! blahblahblahballs
had cantaloupe mylk for breakfast. lunch was a raw sunflower seed cracker spread w/avo & topped w/green leaf & a big slice of tomato. then i had 20 bing cherries. after i'm done on the comp i'm going to maybe take a nap w/the boys then make some carrot juice. i have really been enjoying my qt of carrot juice every day- it fills me up & makes me feel awesome... i've even been able to cook supper for the fam w/o being overcome by cravings. very nice... my body's been requesting the avo/tomato combo the past few days so i've been wondering what's next. my itchiness is back- no surprise considering my diet recently, but how awesome that the body jumps to the mend within a day or 2 of resuming 100% raw! my fave is having that cellular feeling again- especially after a smoothie or juice... everything gets all tingly... oh, & accomplishments lately! the kitchen has been staying clean, i've gotten laundry folded & put away (not all of it but i'm still impressed ), the boys all have been in the bath (Will was the only to see soap but that's not the point... lol), i was only a day late calling my brother to wish him happy b-day, & i've stayed raw for the past few days (even after i made cacciatore for the fam last night! yay!) not too shabby
sunflowers are lovely in the garden, Joss. i've noticed that the stalks keep the ground incredible for the next year's garden. Dan loves growing them but always complains when he goes to harvest seeds... lol. he reminds me of farmer macgregor from the beatrix potter stories... and sometimes peter and benjamin...
Brett- how does one grow w/just the water? yr help is so appreciated!
i love the look of raised beds- they are often used in community gardens (at least they were on the west coast- but then it is wetter in washington...)
