Imperfectly Raw Day 28, Wednesday, 9/15/21

Today was raw foods Wednesday. This group meets at our house on the 3rd Wednesday of every month. I made my coffee and then got to work making food and getting the house ready.

I made a Taco Salad using this recipe:

Salad Part: 1-2 heads romaine lettuce, 1/2 of a red onion, 1 cup chopped tomato, 1/2 sliced avocado, 1/4 cup chopped olives (I served on the side), 1 Tbsp. minced jalapeno (also served on the side), and 1 cup chopped cilantro. Toss together in a large bowl.

Taco Meat: 1-1/2 cups walnuts, 1 clove garlic, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp parika. Process together in a food processor until the consistency of taco meat. Add taco meat to salad and toss.

My other special dish was a Carrot Cake.

Cake: 1 cups chopped carrots, 4 dates, 4 dried figs, 1/2 cup raisins, 1/4 cup shredded coconut, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp allspice

Frosting: 2 cups almond yogurt, 4 dates, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 Tbsp. lemon juice, 1/4 tsp salt, 3 Tbsp. cashews. Blend in high speed blender on high until smooth and creamy.

We had a wonderful turnout this time at raw foods. We didn't have a speaker this month, but this is a knowledgeable group fully capable of teaching each other. Star shared some information on a company called puro3 that offers ozonated oils. These oils are used topically. Check them out here

For dinner tonight I didn't feel like preparing anything so we ordered pizzas from Dominos using their $5.99 each deal. I got a veggie pizza. Only two toppings allowed on the special deal so I got onions and tomatoes.

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...

Dr. John Fielder's Visit

My Natural Hygiene teacher and mentor, Dr. John Fielder, included us again on his Worldwide Raw Food Lecture Tour. He arrived at my house on Monday, May 14. Tuesday we had a raw foods dinner at the house for a few of the people that helped to organize the events here in Arkansas. Wednesday, the Hot Springs Village Raw Foods Group met at Gulpha Gorge Picnic Area for a picnic with Dr. Fielder. Wednesday night he made a presentation here in Hot Springs Village about the Principles of Natural Living. The following night he spoke at Mt. Pleasant United Methodist Church in Little Rock. There was a good crowd at both events. Dr. John Fielder Here I am introducing Dr. Fielder at the HSV lecture. At the lecture we served some raw food treats for our guests to sample. One of the items was a chocolate granola bar. I cut the squares much smaller for this event because of the number of people we had to serve. Chocolate Granola Bars...
