love affair with vita mix day 3
Saturday, July 19, 2008

Breakfast:
Started with Farmers Market Chantarais Melon.
Then made Spelt-Wheat-Pecan Bread (it kneads bread). It was my first loaf of yeasted bread, ever, it was a bit moist and it didn't rise completely, but still tasted delicious, sith fried eggs.

Prepare 1pkt yeast with 1c water and 1TBS Honey. Set aside for a bit.
1c spelt flour
3/4c wheat flour (next time use 1c)
Put flours in dry blender and whizz to make a well in center. (Next time grind the grain).
Add yeast mixture, 1TBSP caramalized ghee and 1/4c finely chopped pecans.
knead using Vitamethod (on and off quickly until it forms a dough ball)
Turn into a 41/2inx81/2in loaf pan, and let rise 15-25min
bake at 350 degrees for 30-40min


Afternoon:
chips and guac with virgin mojito

3 lemons (peel and quarter) (fresh meyer lemons from the garden, I can eat them like oranges they are so amazing)
1 heaped TBSP evaporated cane juice
1-2 mint leaves
1/4c water
3/4c ice

blend. pour into glass and drink. sigh and smile.

Joined a foodie cult

and bought a Vita Mix. I now look at everything with new eyes.
Could I blend that? How would I make that with my Vita Mix?

First recipe was last night, a simple carrot soup, cooked while blending - it blends so fast it comes out hot! It was ok, but I could do way better.

Tonight the food muse blessed me:

Whole wheat spiral pasta with Sun Dried Sweet Pepper and Asparagus sauce

Threw peppers in VM with hot water to rehydrate
Poured off a bit of hot water, added the bottom bits from grilled asparagus
A pinch of ginger powder and 1/4 pinch of salt
Blended till smooth
Mixed sauce with pasta and threw asparagus tips and garlic pieces on top
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

What is your opinion of PETA? How do you view them? I've been curious about working with them recently. My first thing is the pictures I try not to look at when I walk by their booths, but whats behind that?

another beautiful day in paradise
Monday, May 12, 2008



I am really starting to like Mondays. There is a quietness to the homes and gardens around my little cottage. Just me and the rhubarb, marigold, balm. My digitalis is flowering beautifully, sweet white and violet throated blossoms.
I made my first batch of curds and whey this weekend.
Curds taste like cream cheese. Raw organic cream cheese. yum.
I also made my first (huge! food for the week) batch of Kicharee last night. It is an ayurvedic food that balances all doshas (types), incredibly nutritive, detoxifying yet supporting. It feels so good to eat it.
