9/27/09 Great day at the farm yesterday! :)

I'll tell y'all about the farm in " The Rest" section later. First, gotta' do the stats for those that are tracking things. :) These stats are from yesterday, unless otherwise noted: Sleep: woke at 6am to get back to running before we had to leave for the day Food: pineapple, possibly the last of the season bananas jakfruit* salad: tahini-lemon dressing with heirloom tomatoes on baby spinach, yum! :) *I had planned to have jakfruit for dinner, and maybe a little bit of baby spinach after, but there were only a couple of pods ripe :(, so I ended up having salad later. Exercise: I got back to running again after a month's away I believe it's been. I didn't have much time for the runs I'd been doing before I left, but figured it'd be good to ease back into it since I was practically a beginner when I left. It went well. I wanted to run at least a mile and had run out of enough time to do so at the pace I'd been doing for the longer runs, so r...

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 l...

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...
