Imperfectly Raw -Day 40 - Monday, September 27, 2021

Started the day with coffee and a green juice. I made enough green juice for two days.

Green juice recipe: 1 bunch cilantro, 1 bunch parsley, 1 peeled lime, and enough apples to fill up a 2 quart pitcher. I used part Granny Smith and part Gala. The Granny’s are super sour, so be aware of how much sour you can tolerate.

Smoothies for 2: bananas, kiwi, spring mix, chia seeds, dates, frozen blueberries, peanut butter powder, coconut water, and water.

Lunch: in addition to the smoothies I had a peanut butter sandwich.

We had dinner at Hal and Leigh’s house. They grilled steaks, and we ate outside on their deck. I do not eat steak, but I a baked potato, some of Travis’ salad, and some leftover tempeh and rice that I brought from home. And some Pinot Noir.

I learned from Hal about a YouTube channel called Amsterdam Wallpaper. I found another one after I got home called Silent Walker. If you miss traveling, this will give you the feel of being in the Netherlands or France or somewhere wonderful!

The pandemic is real, and it is not over. We have a young family member in ICU battling COVID. We lost his dad last year. Prayers and good thoughts are appreciated. Mask up. Get that shot!

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...
