Imperfectly Raw Day 6 August 24, 2021

Molly and me

8/24/21. Day 6

Breakfast today was at the hotel with Molly, Ashlyn and Shane.  They had an omelet bar, but I opted for the homemade biscuits with butter and jelly, a banana, orange juice and coffee.  Today my food was vegetarian, which was the best choice that appealed to me.

Breakfast at the hotel

We went shopping at Legacy West and the Shops at Legacy.  We had coffee at a cute place called Main Street Bakery.  Sadly, they did not have the macaroons we were hoping, so Ashlyn settled for a danish, and Shane got a key lime tart.

We checked out downtown Plano, also, before heading to the Dallas World Trade Center to go to the market.   This is my first time to go to market, and it is an amazing event.  

We had a late lunch at the World Trade Center.  I had the Italian Bowl with brown rice, toasted mushrooms, bell peppers, tomatoes, spinach and Parmesan, served with balsamic dressing.

We were tired when we got to our hotel so we decided to eat dinner at the hotel restaurant.  I had three pieces of the Veggie Pizza and iced tea.  The veggie pizza had mushrooms, onions, olives and spinach.

Everyone is chilling in the room tonight getting ready for a full day at market tomorrow.

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...
