Today was a big birding day for me: spent morning on state-wide nene survey, then the rest of the day doing photo review and writing up observations of a moorhen nest from the motion detection camera's SD card I got from an intern. So interesting! Love all of it! :)

Darrel went to farm today to see if there was anything new to harvest, and discovered more theft and vandalism. :( They cut our starfruit tree so severely that it might not survive. 😓 It had the best starfruit I have ever tasted... was planted from a tree that had the best starfruit I had ever had previously. I hope it survives. ❤ It really sucks to not be able to live at the farm right now at times like this.

I am encouraged overall though, as we have plans and are gradually making progress to get back to it again. ❤❤

In the meantime, I'm so grateful I can help out at the refuges being in and with nature and making a difference there. It's wonderful to meet others who care about these things too. :) 🌞👍

Cabbage Wrapped Salad n Sprouts (Recipe)

Image
Wraps are simple and fun, especially when you dip them. Tightly wrap the contents to avoid losing it out the ends. Alternately, you can have use all of the sauce on the sprouts for a wet wrap. Wet wraps benefit from folding over the bottom to avoid leakage and is easiest with the version described without the wrap leaf's rib removed. You don't need to have the same cabbage or sprouts I grew. You can substitute any other large leafed greens for the cabbage and other sprouts or salad for my sprouts. Also, feel free to use your own sauce instead. Ingredients:    Wrap: Cabbage (or other large green for wrap)    Filling: Sprouts: Broccoli Sprouts (or other sprouts) Fenugreek Sprouts (optional) Salad Greens Sorrel (to taste) Lettuce and other salad greens (as desired and available) Tomato, sliced in strips (enough to run length of wrap when layed end to end, Roma are good for this) Optional: Avocado, sliced in strips (optional in wrap to lay in a str

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

Holiday Recipe Video: My Take on Fig Cake (Pan de Higo)

Image
My take on a recipe traditionally served at Christmas is an easy, simple, and quick healthy low-fat raw vegan gluten-free holiday recipe which also follows the food combining principles of Natural Hygiene and 80/10/10.  I make half of the recipe without machines, and the other half with a food processor. Then I compare and combine them, do a little ambiance for it, and sample it.  Nutrition Facts are included as well. Enjoy! :)
