Imperfectly Raw Day 26, Monday, 9/13/21

 Imperfectly Raw Day 26, Monday, 9/13/21

Coffee to start the day.


I had to improvise on my juice this morning.  I had a recipe for a liver friendly juice that called for 4 apples, 2 beets, a bunch of dandelion greens, 1 lemon and 2' turmeric.  My Walmart did not have beets or dandelion greens or turmeric so this is what I did.

I juiced 8 collard leaves 4 apples,  and 1 lemon.  After I strained the juice, I added 1 Tbsp liquid turmeric and 1 tsp of Free-Liver, a liver cleansing supplement from Markus Rothkranz that I had on hand.  Then I added water up to the 3-1/2 cup line and whisked it all together.  This was divided into two, one for me and one for Travis.   You have to be hardcore.  The supplement does not taste too good.  It's not horrible, but it would have been better with the beets.


I made protein smoothies for two for our lunch using 4 bananas, 1/2 cup walnuts, 4 dates, 2 tsp cinnamon, and 2 servings of protein powder.  I used Better Body Foods Organic Plant Protein which I have  had on hand for quite some time. These were good.


I made a raw carrot soup to serve at dinner.  I ate this with the whole grain chips.  I have enough to serve at raw foods on Wednesday, too.   Here's the recipe:

Carrot Soup - 2 cups carrot juice, 1 red pepper, 1 avocado, 1 clove garlic, juice of a lime, 1/2 tsp salt. (I did not have a ripe avocado, so I used 2 Tbsp flax oil.)


My friend, Linda, is helping me spruce up my living/dining area.  She came over today with a new light fixture she selected for our living room!  I like it, but now we need to put it together and find someone to hang it for us.  Right now, it is still in the box.

I made a fresh batch of goodie balls.  I will serve them at our raw foods potluck on Wednesday and I will use them for snacks and dessert.



Dinner tonight was:  Carrot Soup, Cabbage and Carrot Slaw, Whole Grain Chips, Baked Potato and Water.  The Cabbage and Carrot Slaw is good.  Here is the recipe.  It's easy.

Cabbage and Carrot Slaw:  2 cups shredded cabbage, 1 cup shredded cabbage, 1 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup almonds, 1 tsp poppy seeds, 1 tsp basil.

The dressing for the slaw:  1//4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 Tbsp honey, 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp or less cayenne, 1 tsp garlic powder.  Whisk together and pour over the slaw.



Travis and I watched the news on PBS NewsHour and had blueberry green tea.  I had kombucha and water, too.  I am coughing quite a lot today.

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...
