Imperfectly Raw - Day 55 - Sunday

Imperfectly Raw - Day 55 - Sunday - 11/28/21

Good Morning. Good Vibes,

I am signed up for another Raw Reset with Tannyraw which will begin on Tuesday, 11/30/21. I am excited about this one which is being called The Gift of Clean, Clear & Bright. I am sure I will be the oldest one in the group, but that's okay. I do want to be clean, clear and bright, and I want to do it in a way that is sustainable for me. I like to learn from other people, but I have learned that I can think for myself. Tanny does a great job of teaching about planning ahead to get the results you want and then working the plan.

Breakfast: Lemon Ginger Blast and two oranges.

Travis and I saw King Richard at the movie theater last Tuesday. It is the story of Venus and Serena Williams' rise in the tennis world from the ghetto to Wimbledon. I am obsessed with this film, so much so that I ordered the Happy Viking protein powder from Venus Williams. It comes in four flavors: strawberry, green colada, vanilla bean, and chocolate. I ordered all four! Go big or go home!

For lunch today we had smoothies made with 2 bananas, 4 scoops of Happy Viking strawberry protein powder, broccoli sprouts, 2 tsp of wheat grass juice powder, 1/2 cup of almond yogurt, frozen mixed fruit, 1 can coconut water, 1 cup almond milk, and water to the 3/4 mark on the blender carafe. 5 stars. So good.

For dinner I made a modified Tannyraw recipe for nori rolls.

I used a 10 oz package of grated carrots and made a sauce to go over the carrots.

The sauce: 1/4 cup walnuts, 3/4 cup celery, 1 large peeled lemon with most of the seeds removed, 2 tsp minced garlic, 1/4 cup water, Mrs. Dash Table Blend seasoning, and 2 tsp Gomasio. Add this sauce to the carrots and mix well.

Spoon some of the carrot mix onto a nori roll with some thinly sliced mini cucumbers and bell pepper. Roll up and eat. This is really good. I have some left for tomorrow.

Dessert: Leftover Nice Cream from several days ago and a Kombucha.

The evening tea was Traditional Medicinal Detox tea.

I am still reading/listening to Braiding Sweetgrass.

I am starting a new jigsaw puzzle for when I need something to do that will keep my mind centered on my own sphere of influence. I really do want to make the world a better place, but I don't want to get sucked into the rabbit hole, ya'll. The struggle is real!!!

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...
