Imperfectly Raw Day 2 - Friday 8/20/21

 “Sticking to consensus reality is a noble path”. -Matthew  Remski

Today is Ashlyn’s 18th birthday.  We will be celebrating this evening at Grateful Head Pizza in Hot Springs.  In situations of community and celebration and travel, it is my intention to select the food that most appeals in the moment, yet still balancing the need to be different to get different.  

1st meal today was Lemon Ginger Blast with added liquid turmeric circumin with black pepper. The juice is made with kale, parsley, cilantro, cucumber, celery, apple, lemon, ginger, jalapeño, and turmeric. Turmeric root is not available in my local stores, so I ordered a bottle of Qunol brand liquid turmeric curcumin with black pepper.  It adds a nice flavor as well as health benefits.

The smoothies today were made with 3 bananas, broccoli sprouts, hemp seed hearts, mixed greens, coconut water, 2 dates, wild blueberries to top of blender, and Hot Springs water to 3/4 of blender.  So delicious. We also had some grapes for a snack. 



I am a distributor for a frequency device called the Healy.  It scans the body and helps you select a program with the frequencies that you are most resonating with at the moment.  Today the program I most needed was for the head in the group called Bioenergetic Harmony.  I ran that program which is designed to reduce tensions.  I use to run several programs a day, but I decided it is better to just run one or two a day.

I had trouble with shortness of breath all afternoon.  It is a symptom that I have experienced off and on since my mother died in 2013.  I am not sure what triggered it today, but it felt like a mild panic attack.  I just drank water, and stayed busy to get through it.  I also made an appointment for later this month with my primary care physician for a wellness check up since I have not been since early 2020. 

The onion bread was ready to take out of the dehydrator.  I will use some of it tomorrow to make raw Greek Pizza! The recipe for the onion bread is from Rawvolution.

Raw Onion Bread

Raw Onion Bread recipe: 
3 large yellow onions
3/4 cup ground flax seeds
3/4cup sunflower seeds, ground in a food processor. Remove ground seeds to a mixing bowl.
1/2 cup Nama Shoyu (I had to use Bragg’s Amino Acids because it was all I had)
1/3 cup olive oil
Peel and halve the onions.  Slice the onions using the slicing disc on the food processor. Transfer the sliced onions to the mixing bowl with the other ingredients.  Mix all the ingredients until thoroughly combined.  Spread on Teflex sheets to go into the dehydrator.  I spooned the mix into nine round pieces.  Dehydrate for 24 hours.  Flip and remove Teflex.  Dehydrate 12 hours more.

Dinner was at The Grateful Head.  I had two pieces of the tree hugger pizza and the cherry cider they had on tap. After dinner we went to Zac’s candy store, and I bought a little bag of his homemade small batch toffee.  It was a good birthday party.

Happy in the Garden

Yesterday I worked in the garden instead of walking around the neighborhood.  It is a different feeling. It's true that I only got in about 6500 steps by the end of the day instead of over 10,000, but it was a different feeling.  Travis planted some tomatoes and peppers, I cleaned the lower deck and pulled some weeds.  Lucy dug in the dirt and felt so happy.  I felt the same way. Working in the garden makes you feel happy and productive. I was puzzled by a plant growing in the herb garden as a weed.  I started pulling them out but decided to check if they are edible.  Edible weeds, such as dandelion,  can be used in our smoothies.  I put a picture on Facebook to ask for help identifying the weed, and the consensus is that it is plantain.  Some say edible and some say not, but I am inclined to think that it is edible.  My brother, Max, lives up in the mountains, and his neighbor says it is edible and the smallest leaves are best with...

The Lou Corona Story

Yesterday, we went to Magic Springs with our daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren.  The landscaping there is beautiful this year.  This one little flower didn't let a little concrete stop it.     Lunch today was three bananas which I ate about 1:30.  I'm letting my body rest a little bit after eating too much food the last couple of days.  I did domestic chores today.  But Travis made a trip to the City Compost Facility for another load of compost.  We'll use it on the trees we still have left to plant. We have a volunteer tomato plant coming up in one of the garden beds.  It's doing pretty well, too.  I have it on my to do list to buy some more tomato cages. The arugula I planted is up. The kale Travis planted is up. The new plum tree is planted. Here is a volunteer Poke Salat that came with the blueberry plant.  Travis planted some more blueberries in the blueberry row that lines our driveway. The...

Alko Shredder

 It was chilly this morning, but I got out and worked a bit in the garden bed that had the strawberries moved out yesterday.  I fed it with the mineral supplement and fertilizer.  I started putting on compost, but ran out of time before I finished.  We are going to plant some kale in this bed. Bed #3 weeded, minerals added, fertilized, and partly composted. Travis and I went to an estate sale today.  First thing we saw was a garden shredder.  We bought it for $60.00 and brought it home.  There are lots of leaves in my yard that could be shredded. Our new used Alko shredder...made in Germany.    For dinner tonight I made a soup.  The inspiration came from Dara Dubinet on her You-tube video, but mine was different because I used what we had. My vegetable soup recipe:  Juice a beet, 6 carrots, 3 broccoli stalks, and a sweet potato.  Then heat a pot of water on the stove, but do not boil.  In the Vita-Mix, put 3 med...
