Imperfectly Raw - Day 32, Sunday, September 19, 2021

6 hr 56 min sleep. Not too bad.

Breakfast: Coffee and Lemon Ginger Blast green juice

Lunch: Smoothies for 2. Bananas, kiwi, sunflower microgreens, spinach, dates, hemp seed hearts, frozen mixed fruit, frozen strawberries, yogurt, coconut water, and water.

I made a grocery order for curbside pickup at Walmart. I spent $149.27 for the week's groceries, but Travis picked up most of the Lemon Ginger Blast ingredients yesterday at Brookshires. The ingredients for LGB usually runs about $45 week for two pints a day - one pint per person. This could be stretched by making the juice ahead and freezing in half pint containers. Remove the juice from the freezer the night before. I have done this before and may do it again to save time and money.

Dinner: We had plenty of leftovers. Travis had the salmon. I had leftover broccoli, chopped salad, and the rest of the cauliflower and bean dish with

I bought a Birch Benders Brownie Mix at Walmart because it was on price rollback. I made the brownies tonight. I had never had these low carb brownies before, and I don't particularly like the way I felt after eating them.

Tonight's tea was just regular Lipton black tea.

4563 steps today. It is my intention to get that number up!

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...
