Happy New Year Everyone!!! :) :) :) Sleep:  awake at 7:45am, up at 8:30am to sleep for night last night at: 11:30pm Food: breakfast: 6 (or 7?) organic California Page mandarins lunch: 9 Fuyu persimmons (3 lbs) dinner: TBD -- probably a mandarin or two, followed by salad of: head of green cabbage cut into ribbons with dressing of tahini, lemon, carrot juice, freeze dried kale powder ... and maybe some partially dehydrated summer squash slices on the side or with the dressing as dip (possibly dipping "baby" carrots too) ... and maybe some carrot juice afterward I've been eating persimmons pretty much every day for a while now. They are SO delicious, and they store really well here, so I can get over a month's worth at a time, which I absolutely love! They hold up well without refrigeration and are a terrific staple or back-up because they're the kind that you can eat whether they are hard or soft. I got a great deal on them at CostCo in California when Da...

Water from coconut from yard About 1/2 a pear offered to me when out in the field at the refuge with the biologist A couple of figs from yard eaten at the tree :) Lots of mountain apples harvested fresh from yard Fresh squeezed orange juice Mix of zuke, cuke, multicolor carrot noodles with sauce of some of the OJ blended with celery, zucchini, and a touch of tahini, sprinkled with minced fresh chives Photos to be posted later 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 starf...

Okay, I'll try to get back into logging other things now that I'm kinda' getting into the habit of the food... a bit.   Food: (everything is organic unless specified otherwise) 356 grams Starfruit (carambola) from our farm:   743 grams Sunrise Papaya from our farm: 451 grams Ladyfinger Bananas (forgot to take a pic of them-these are similar ripeness, a little less volume) these were from the farmer's market, and probably not organic: 1,125 grams Tangelo Juice ! All from our farm!!! Our biggest tangelo harvest ever! :) :) The first picture is of all the tangelos we juiced, and below is the juice it yielded before we mixed it and Darrel took half. The weight mentioned here is just the part I drank. I also ate some of the sections after juicing: Then I made a salad with the following ingredients: 442 grams romaine lettuce hearts (from store) 70 grams raw tahini? (from store) 342 grams tomatoes (from friend's farm) 78 grams Meyer le...
