Imperfectly Raw - Day 47 - Wednesday - 10/6/21 - Free Produce

No appointments today! But started off with coffee. Travis picked up some Joffrey's Disney coffee, Apple-y Ever After, so we made that for breakfast today. I feel like I wasted the whole day sitting around and looking at recipes and such. I got to chat with my brother a little while, though. Maybe he will come to see me sometime soon!

First thing today I prepped food. I made the lemon ginger blasts green juice, green smoothies, some veggie cocktails, and a dinner salad. I already have made a raw green soup, leftover spaghetti for Travis' dinner, some lima beans I cooked in the crock pot, some rice, and my raw seed crackers.

My friend and neighbor, Alice, came by the house with a box of fresh produce that was donated from local grocery stores. What a great surprise. The produce needs to be used right away, as it is a little past its prime, but it is awesome. I forgot to take a picture. Ugh. The box had lettuce, tomatoes, cauliflower, green onions, kiwi, avocados, 4 lbs of strawberries, about six big colorful bell peppers, and a cantaloupe!

Breakfast: Coffee and lemon ginger blast green juice

Lunch: Green Smoothie. I was still hungry so I ate the leftover rice we had on hand.

Dinner: Travis had spaghetti. I had a salad with goat cheese, the raw green soup, my veggie cocktail, some of the lima beans, seed crackers, and a Lara Bar.

After dinner we watched PBSNewHour and I had popcorn and kombucha. PBSNewHour covers interesting stories without the drama. Tonight we learned about the starvation taking place in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. It is a man made famine that has about 6 million people starving to death. It is the saddest thing imaginable. I hope there are people in the world that can find a solution to this. We also learned about the pop artist named Richard Indiana, the creator of the the word Love made into art. His death at his home in Maine has a bit of mystery attached to it.

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...
