Joys of Growing Your Own Food (Some of them, at least)

Image
This was originally sent to my email list. Click here if you want to sign up.   I love plants! I love growing them and eating them..and a whole lot more. One of the top reasons I love growing my own food is being able to grow things I want to eat, and especially things I wouldn't be able to have access to otherwise. Cabbage leaves harvested from my garden yesterday. Case in point: the cabbage leaves I harvested yesterday. Believe it or not: these two leaves are the smaller leaves from a plant I have basically neglected for a while! (It is on an automatic drip watering system). They are an open leaved variety that is simply beautiful to me, grows well where I am, rarely gets spicy hot (if ever), is bolt resistant (so does not go to seed fast and I can keep harvesting for longer), and is great for wrappers in wraps (or chopped in ways cabbage is often used). Another example: the top pic here is "Janie" created by arranging "Armenian" Cucu...

Sleep: woke at 3am for temp., but didn't take it, up at ~7:45am to sleep for night at 10:30pm again... good thing I can sleep in again on Sunday - gotta' get to sleep earlier Sunday though 'cause there's no sleeping in on Monday... Food: breakfast: 1 medium-large pineapple (no burn today, nice) lunch: small bag lychee (~20?), 4 smallish-medium dragon fruit before dinner/after run: 15 small-ish medium apple bananas dinner (1 1/2 hrs after bananas): shredded cabbage & carrots with tahini-lemon/lime dressing & 1/2 avocado Yeah, a bit too much overt fats for 10% today, but I've been doing the overt fats light to none lately so it's okay I think - will find out Sunday I suppose... Here's a video of lunch remnants and about dragonfruit I took at the farm. It might take a bit to load 'cause it's the limit of what size Blogger will take. I'll look into other video uploading options another time: Exercise: Pedometer wasn't working quite right ...

Raw Food Thanksgivings of recent past...

Someone asked me on Facebook about what my Thanksgiving menu looks like these days and I looked up the pics and posts about my past Thanksgivings to answer... I figure they should be all in one place for any of y'all that are looking for that too, so I added some targets in my old journals to get directly to those posts and have compiled this list for you of them for easier reference. I also created a new blogging label for "holiday food" for those of you who search for things that way. Here are the Thanksgivings so far: Thanksgiving 2002 - posts about it actually start a couple of days before (on Tues.), so you might want to scroll up for that too... Thanksgiving 2003 Thanksgiving 2004 - oops, missing for now (if I find it, I'll add it to the logs & come back to this post and edit it to link to it... Thanksgiving 2005 Thanksgiving 2006 Thanksgiving 2007 - Um.. I think that one's not gonna' be found or recalled. I don't think I took pics th...
