Imperfectly Raw Day 25, Sunday 9/12/21

Breakfast: Coffee and an Orange

Just like my momma, I love to buy groceries, although I use curbside pickup almost exclusively since the pandemic began. I made my list and placed my order for pick up later today at Walmart.

I made smoothies for our lunch. I am out of a lot of ingredients so I made do with what was on hand. This smoothie may not be for the faint of heart, but I am hardcore and liked it fine.

Smoothie for two: Frozen strawberry/banana mix, 2 kiwi, frozen mixed fruit, coconut water, water, broccoli sprouts, spinach, almond butter, collagen, green powder, and chia seeds.

We went to church this morning and then I worked at the boutique from 1-4. I'm wearing my mask as much as possible #tryingtostayhealthy and trying to avoid trouble. A lot of people where I live don't seem to be very concerned about the virus, but I'm doing the things I need to do while protecting myself and my community the best way I know how.

After work I picked up my groceries at Walmart. Pay attention to the supply chain. There were more substitutions and cancellations this week. I spent $128 this week. We'll see if we can make it last all week!

Dinner: Marinated Carrots, Leftover Fried Rice, Whole Grain Chips, and Water. I made Travis Cod Fillets broiled with Lemon. He'll have enough for tomorrow, also.

Recipe for Marinated Carrots:

Peel 5 carrots, then shave lengthwise with a peeler. Mince 1/2 of a small onion. Juice a lemon. Combine carrot, onion, lemon juice, and 1 tsp of Herbes de Provence in a bowl. Add 1-2 Tbsp olive oil. Mix together. Salt to taste.

The Cod was easy. Thaw the fillets. Place on a baking sheet covered in foil. Sprinkle the fillets with olive oil and salt. Thinly slice a lemon and arrange on top of the cod. Broil 10-12 minutes. Sprinkle with Herbes de Provence.

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...
