6-23-17 Fresh squeezed orange juice blended with frozen strawberries Fresh harvested mountain apples from yard 7 Saba bananas Oops, forgot to record the rest of this day and the next... now I have forgotten. Think this is the night I made a kind of salsa chutney ish thing one of these two nights. It was 3/4 of a fruity avocado mashed a bit still chunky, some minced chives, 2 roma tomatoes chopped, and a touch of lemon juice. I started eating it with celery, but then Darrel started eating his guacamole which makes his breath bother me if I don’t have some. It's raw vegan so I will put some in my stuff sometimes so his breath doesn't bother me. I added some to mine and decided to put that in dried nori sheets in a row lengthwise with a stick of celery lengthwise across as well before rolling it and eating it. Neither the spicy guacamole nor the dried nori are my ideal foods, but they are acceptable at times. This was one of those times (obviously). Lol 6-24...

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...

Saturday June 17, 2017 Fresh squeezed orange juice 1 Tuscan melon Lychee Darrel and I spent time to try out Agile Scrum framework for figuring out our life in the next year, in order to help prioritize all the things we were feeling need to be done, feel driven to do and/or have deadlines to finish before we go to the FoodnSport retreats in September. It really helped! Yay! :) Sunday June 18, 2017 Father's Day! :) 1 Tuscan melon Mountain apples Apple bananas Hearts of romaine head lettuce Hearts of romaine head lettuce 3 large roma tomatoes Mustard  (not ideal) Darrel had something with a lot of mustard on it and I decided to have some mustard too. I wedged the roma tomatoes lengthwise, and placed them on the lettuce leaves lengthwise, then put a bit of mustard down the length of that, folded the leaves over the top and ate them that way. It hit the spot. Mustard is not ideal because of its spiciness, but it's one of the exceptions I have been making over the last ...

Food: Fresh squeezed orange juice Longan Banana Coconut water Papaya Mountain apples Half of a large pineapple Some of my apple, date, celery dish from a few days ago A little broccoli and cauliflower ** Exercise: Darrel and I went to the Mayor-A-Thon today. It was fun! :) It's a community events put on by the county, and heavily sponsored by Kaiser Permanente, Gieko, and local businesses. It's not a race, more like a fitness and social family event. You pick the length you go: anywhere up to 8 miles. They have turn around points marked for various lengths.  You can run, walk, bike, roller blade on the cement path that goes along the shoreline. We walked and ran this time...I think it was 4-7 miles, not sure...didn't pay attention to length, was noting time to turn around in order to get back for prizes and zumba. We were out on the path for 2 hours. They have contests like hula hoop, cooperative group teams, etc for prizes...and drawings ...

Sleep: 11pm last night - 8am this morning Food: I didn't weigh everything, or take photos of everything, but thought I'd do a quick update for y'all anyway with what I've got. Too bad 'cause the caimito were beautiful... I'll have other chances. It's all organic... Breakfast (after morning exercise): 3-4 large sunrise strawberry papayas from our farm (almost melon papaya sized, about the volume of a cantaloupe each) 6 large purple caimito from a local farm that has a self-serve stand (where I usually get my coconuts) Lunch (after afternoon exercise: 1136g (1638g - 502g)  mountain apples from our tree Dinner:  1 brazil nut ~ 28 oz frozen smoothie:  fresh pressed orange juice (oranges from same farm as caimito) frozen fruit (mango, pineapple, strawberry) I was going to have a head of romaine too, but was full enough as-is. I've been having lots of veggies lately anyway, so I'm good. Exercise:   Like my food, my ex...
