Frang, rawkin' bread- had 4 fabulous open-faced sandwiches for my lunch. Think next time i'll dry some a bit longer for croutons... Really yum. Thanks! Love

( sorry to hear that Carm. I'm a mothering mother-type & worried 'bout yrself. Will nose yr journal- hope the wee'uns are okay!  Sup last night was a big grapefruit. Dessert, boutenko's chocolate blizzard. Snacks for the day- 2 figs, a carrot from the garden, an immature melon from the garden, 3 dates. Today's menu: smoothie or grapefruit for breaky, open-faced sandwiches for lunch (living bread slices, savory cream cheeze, tom slices, cuke slices, alf sprouts, mebbe a tiny dollop of sheetoe din), supper- a soup & salad combo. Love  (((Carm & family)))

Carm- bread's pretty good! Had some w/lunch. Eats for today, so far: breakfast- parsley/nana/fr bbs gs. lunch- tomato soup w/alfalfa sprout garnish and 3 slices bread w/savory neufchatel cream cheez. Here's the recipe: 1 1/2c cashews, 1/8c lemon juice, 1c water, 1/4c nutritional yeast, 1/2c sunflower seeds, green onion or chives to taste, garlic to taste. Blend 1-4 until smooth. Add sun seeds & onion/chives & blend until smooth. Add garlic, blend until garlic disappears to yr taste. Really good on the bread recipe from poeomm. Thinking of having carrot juice or a salad for sup. Love

Ah, i see certain words are still being censored. Well, it is pronounced SHEE-toe din. & it is raw. & it is wicked spicey. & i have a 1/2 pitcherful. I'll freeze it. Gives me a reason to try corn chips. Hub brought home a few bags of nanas but none are ripe "enough". Thankfully, i have 3 perfect 1s leftover from last week for gs in the morn. Have noticed the earlier i eat the hungrier i become thru-out the day. The opposite tends to happen when i have something around 11am. Need to put away leftovers then go to sleep- i'm plumb tuckered out! Lol. Love

The bits i've had were good, Carm- but it's still in! Since 6:30am! I've been very good today. Read on...     AM i had a big bowl of apple jacks which filled me 'til 3pm-ish when i had lunch. Maerin's mashed "potatoes" w/fresh rosemary from my garden! My rosemary bush is so happy- which makes me happy... Supper will be rice & beans w/*or din. Love

I am back up after a wee nap, having a bowl of mod apple jacks from a patenaude book: handful cashew pieces, chopped dried apple & nana, chopped fresh apple & nana, juice of 2 oranges, couple dashes of cinnamon. Delish delish delish! Time to flip the bread. Love

I see that in Ian (oldest) w/his father/my hub. Hub is very antagonistic @ times & it is heartbreaking to watch our son shrink. Esp when i ask him to stop & he thinks all's a hoot! Part of the reason i've kept them out of school is to protect them. Pretty near imposs when they live w/a bully! Love

Trying bread recipe from recipes section. Had the ing.= had to try! Also have buckwheat soaking- the last of my stash- to dehydrate for chocolate crinkles? Cronkles? Whozeewhatsit... I don't know now but it sounds smack-yo-lips-tacular... Thinking of hopping in the shower or having some grapefruit juice. My old girl is sitting on the table next to me falling asleep. She kept leaning & having to catch herself. She's laying down now. That was adorable...  Got the dishes done and made breakfast for the boys. Should be able to get my juice today! Also, our dryer is being set up today... Hub said "why don't you go back to bed after i leave?" the reason? "not every1 can sleep thru alarms or go back to sleep just because you want them to..." sigh. Love

Trying the recipe for the orig. bread. Can't wait as the dough even got my old cat's approval! Re: the onion bread- all hand mix, right? The onions- diced? Thanks! Love

Hi! When the chill is in the air (now, in the states- don't get the dates of postings- apologies if this is out of season!) i add cayenne, fresh hot peppers, & garlic to everything. Adore garlic in veg juice. Add peppers to soups/dips. Pit dates and eat them on apple slices for raw caramel apples. Also, eating yr foods @ room temp or warming them in the dehydrator might help. Love

Since RC pm'd me about this back in july i assume this thread is as old but i had to say THANK YOU to all the warm notes about my postings!!! If i had my comp up & running i'd find these lil' bits sooner ) and the marmalade is wicked good used in place of raisins in nana "pb & j". Love

Had 3 pears, BSE, few slices starfruit, & a romaine/nana/fr strawb gs yesterday in addtn to cooked. Weighed myself- told hub, followed by "that's all you need to know!" i'm not going to get into what that knowledge is doing to me. Let's just say i know that i'm the only 1 able to do something about it. If i get to paradise i'll be perfect! Until then... Love

I know from exp how easy it is to say the wrong thing to yr children. The important thing is to be able to apologize/explain why etc. & to do so genuinely. @ least for me. Too many people think it's unnecesary(sp?) to admit a misstep to a child. Love (((Neet)))

@ least 1, Carm! Have had 3 descend on the feeder only to be chased off by another... Hums are so territorial. I'm planting milkweed hoping to attract monarchs. We used to get all sorts of birdlife but a r-a-t was spotted & my birdie banquet was blamed... le sigh. It is just past 8am here & my pear count has reached 3. May take a short nap before facing the rest of the day. Hope you had a good night, Carmie! and all ) Love

Wish i'd known when we lived in wa... Gotta luv farmers who offer so much... Love
