I've been getting ready for my senior art exhibition and haven't been able to post! I am finally almost done with the preparations. So this is what I have been up to...
I made pizza crusts from a recipe in Juliano's Raw cookbook. I made it from Sprouted buckwheat.
They were so good that I had a variation of pizza every day for lunch! The first time I made a big batch of sauce from tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, salt, oil, and herbs. I used it all week too. The first pizza was in a normal style. Sauce, veggies, marinated mushrooms, olives and drippy cheese. I tried to go simple with the cheese so I made it from nutritional yeast with salt, olive oil and water. It was good!
The next day I shredded some zucchini and carrot and I think some beet and made a sort of spaghetti with the sauce and veggies and just put it on the crusts. This time I did not make drippy cheese but just sprinkled the nutritional yeast on top. I loved it!
Some other things I got into were kitchen sink cookies from the We Like it Raw. So so good!
And ice-cream. I made my ice-cream from blended bananas, vanilla, coconut water, salt and carob.
After all this goodness, I decided to give my body a rest from all the heavy digesting. I've been doing a few days of juice feasting. It feels really good. It was hard the first day or two but now it seems easier than ever, especially since I know I am not doing it for three months! I'll be done in a few days. I feel like it helps me rest after all that running around getting my art ready to show. It is also so much nicer when the weather is warming up.
I started growing more wheatgrass. And an update on my worms...failed or sort of failed experiment. I finally took the worm bin outside because it was starting to smell. When it went out the smell really came up! Nasty! It was the water that collected at the bottom. There was a lot of it. I had no idea. I was supposed to be collecting that and feeding it to my house plants. It smelled so putrid but it must have been very nutritious because mushrooms were growing out of it when I finally dumped it. Then I left the worm bin outside. I went out of town and heavy rains came. My roommate checked on the worms but the bin was full of water. She dumped the water out. When I came home it just looked sad. Then it rained again! I dumped the water out and started dumping out what was inside. It smelled so awful! I had to do it a little at a time. Finally I borrowed a shovel and dug a hole and buried the stinking compost. When I dug there were many worms so I had a glimmer of hope that some of my worms survived. Poor wormies!
Next time I will not make such a large worm bin. Also, I will do the stacking method. It is much easier because the worms climb up into the next small bin once they have finished making compost of the first. the bins are small enough to lift easily and shift around. I've learned my lesson!
Okay, that is all for now.
Ciao a tutti!
