Today was an odd out of sort’s food day for me. I didn't feel like making a veggie meal aside from a veggie & fruit juice.
I didn't pay attention to time other than what part of the day I ate. Starting in very late morning I had a large grapefruit sectioned, walnut halves, bee pollen and a few pecans.
Early afternoon I had a bosc pear and sesame tahini. I love that combo.
Later in early afternoon I juiced a few veggies and fruits and made a big deal about how wonderful it tasted. I used carrots, beets, kale, orange, apple, cucumber, and celery and ate a few pecans with it. It looked like a rainbow juice. See the lovely rainbow effect in the froth.
In the evening I wasn't hungry however, at 7:55 PM I got hungry! I had real hunger noises and vibrations stirring up a fuss in my intestines, a true organ recital. I decided to eat after 8:00 PM for this evening. I have been faithfully sticking to the eating cut off at 8:00 PM. Now it will be a challenge to see if this off schedule night beckons me to nightly eating or if I will easily resume the schedule.
What I ate was frozen fruit through the juicer. I made not intentionally, another rainbow dish of: a bit of banana, strawberries, a few grapes, mango and a couple of cubes of coconut almond cream. It was perfect. I wanted nothing more. :)
The picture shows a deer friend who comes to graze in the yard every day now, sometimes frequently throughout the day. That was a beautiful Echinacea plant he munched away. Today I caught him in action. Yesterday he was outside my bedroom door and only looked up at me when I pulled out the camera. Today after taking this picture I opened the door and he scampered across the yard. I did call to him that he is not to eat garden plants.

Keeping it Simple
Energy today is even better than yesterday! I love this improvement by the day. I like how I feel with rejuvelac as well. Gosh, rejuvelac provides a really gentle and strong force! That good old 'Force of Nature'. :)
1:59 AM Started my day with a dish of kiwi, peach and bee pollen. Most often I don't know what I will be eating until I go to the kitchen and start to prepare. And a lot of what I prepare is made up on the moment like this combo of fruit and bee pollen. Delicious!
I ate 3 walnut halves when I removed the tray from the dehydrator. So far I have been jotting down 'everything' I eat. I am not being guided by the voice that says, 'that's lame Deborah'!
11:39 AM An OH WOW drink. 1/2 a cantaloupe scooped out and blended with 1 cube of the coconut almond cream with a lacey sprinkling of desiccated coconut on top.
2:11 PM 1 large grapefruit, a few large walnut halves, a tbsp of bee pollen and a glass of lemon juice, rejuvelac and water mixed. I ate this on the back patio in the sun while I watched the many dragonflies zoom about. Wow they are giant size dragonflies. I love it when they fly really close over my head.
6:30 PM I ate a bosc pear with some sesame tahini while I prepared supper.
7:27 PM The salad which is comprised of purple Russian kale, black kale, romaine, tomato, celery, red onion, zucchini, avocado, cucumber, water cress, Himalayan salt, blk pepper, avocado oil, and whole shelled hemp seed. Par Excellent!!
Tonight it feels like I may have to slow this detox down a tad and have more veggies tomorrow than fruit so it might be a good day for veggie juice.
This evening I drank another glass of the lemon juice, rejuvelac and water combination.

Earlier Morning
Another healing crisis surfaced this morning. It was such a small one in comparison of others. The detox is rising higher and higher inside my body. I am fascinated with that aspect. The purification effects showing in the body is from bottom up. I thought it would happen the other way around.
I was awake earlier and felt more energy. Didn't want to go back to sleep. Gave myself a wee energy treatment and shone into a rise.
11:30 AM a large grapefruit, pistachios and bee pollen went down like a piece of heaven.
1:28 PM a macaroon
1:45 PM I cut up two mango and froze them into an ice cube tray for sorbet. After cleaning the stone best I could with a knife and spoon, I nibbled the two stones clean. Great tasting mango!
4:14 PM was heading on an errand so took along a pear and some tahini. That makes a nice combo. I do ultimate best with bosc pears over all I have tried.
5:30 PM some grapes…. ouch with those; my pancreas objected with a burning feeling. First time I have felt my pancreas object about something. My body briefly heated with healing heat.
6:00 PM and it felt like time for supper. Tonight I peeled zucchini into strips that liken fettuccini pasta and mixed in the remaining marinara sauce from last night. Added a couple of tunaish from the freezer topped with red onion and voila… another tasty meal. I ate the remaining macaroon after dinner. It is 10:41 PM now and I still feel satisfied as I sip a glass of fresh lemon aide. I don't sweeten lemon aide. I love the sour taste ever since eating raw/living.
So the rejuvelac, I am off to a bad start. It didn't smell so nice when I drained off the first batch. I am following Anne Wigmores book and also a video on youtube. There is a discrepancy in the two although the fellow in the video is following Wigmores method as well, same food prep book in fact. hmmmmm. I tasted it and it was ok, too much of a dilution but the taste was not like the smell. I put a couple of bottles in the fridge and added less water this time to the sprouted oat berries. If I don't have an adverse reaction tonight I figure the rejuvelac will be good to make cheese with. Or I may start anew and perfect it a bit more before moving to cheese making. I have done this back in the 80's and it worked fine. Till Tomorrow, tata!!

Blessing Bowl
In the morning at 11:03 or something like that, I enjoyed a glass of fresh squeezed lemon in water. What a fine way to greet the day, don't you think? :)
1:35 PM rolled around and hunger flashed a thought for 2 oranges, walnuts and pecans with 1 heaping TBSP of Bee Pollen in a pool of fresh squeezed lemon juice. First bite and wow sparks! Tart lemon against the sweetness of bee pollen… causes surprise zingers. By the way, if you want to eat nuts with fruit, the best combination for digestion is citrus fruit with nuts.
A short time later I felt like 3 brazil nuts... that was it.
3:26 PM brought on 1 macaroon. Can't believe I only had one!
6:00 PM breakfast was 1 large grapefruit with a few pistachios and bee pollen. I need to order more bee pollen. My supplier is in Ontario. She has the best honey and bee pollen I have used to date and her prices are quite reasonable.
Just past 7:00 PM I began preparing supper. What I wanted was marinara sauce on angel hair zucchini spaghetti. By 6:28 PM it was all prepared and ready to eat. Wow, what a really great dish. I ate it with some crackers, avocado and red pepper.

Making Rejuvelac
The rejuvelac is now fermented 24 hours… 24 more hours to go before I can use it. This is an experiment to see the results using oat berries rather than wheat berries. The picture shows the rejuvelac ready for fermentation. I soaked the oat berries over night then proceeded to sprout them for two days. Moving them into a 4 litre jar enabled me to add the nearly 4 litres of water used during the fermentation process.
I used too much water in making the rejuvelac so am cutting back on the next batch. I don't like the smell of this batch of rejuvelac. It doesn't smell 'bad' and can be an odor specific to the oat berries. Make sure the berries you use are actually raw, not steamed.
At 12:28 PM a grapefruit with a sprinkling of pecans and bee pollen.
2:15 PM 4 whole apricots.
Through the day I continued drinking lots of water.
At approx. 4:00 PM with the champion juicer I juiced a concoction that looks like a dark chocolate drink. I am working on fine-tuning making a juice that looks like and tastes like chocolate milk. I am really close to succeeding.
AT 5:57 PM it was a salad comprised of romaine lettuce, mango chutney and falafel sprinkled with red onion. That is such a super combination. The falafel tastes astounding as does the mango chutney.
I still am not able to find the pictures with this application… very odd, everything was going ok until I downloaded Picaso newer version… and I am working from a macpro. Pictures issue is cleared up!
In the picture is me the blogger, who loves tie-dyes! :) Happy munching, eh…
the mango chutney.

Zucchini Spaghetti Noodles
It was a good morning and feels like it was a long time ago!
Eating started out at 10:00 AM with half a cantaloupe cubed. The fruit was perfectly ripened. What a fine breakfast meal! I chased that dish full with 2 macaroons.
At approx. 1:00 PM I headed out and about with a bottle of water and a hand full of pecans. The pecans are wrapped in a reusable biodegradable sheet using bees wax which is made by an innovative thinking young gal here in Victoria. Her boyfriend hand stitches the edging. What a delight!
At approx. 5:00 PM I returned home and ate 2 oranges dipped in bee pollen and threw in a few walnuts.
An hour later I ate zucchini pasta mixed with red onion, tomato, avocado and tahini dressing, with veggie crackers on the side. I wanted to use up the rest of the tahini dressing. The shelf life is a couple of days over best used by date, yet the sauce is still good. The refrigerator is a good one, perfect humidity and coldness to stretch out food storage. Looks good, eh? The noodles were made with what is called a spiral slicer.
At 7:45 I felt like some fruit so put together a few frozen banana slices, frozen blueberries and a sprinkling of pistachio nuts. It was a small amount and satisfying.

Gorgeous Day!
This morning brought in yet another healing crisis. Every time I experience them and so far in a year there have been half a dozen or more, I feel progress is continuing. The healing crises are not so easy to meet with yet hands on healing certainly is a furiously quick assistant. The results of hands on healing and prayer never cease to amaze me. Tonight I reflect upon this morning and the fear thoughts that rose to the surface. My thoughts have been reframed and now I feel excited with the results I am getting thus far.
It was after noon before I ate anything, which started with 2 large juicy pink grapefruit together with bee pollen and pecans, one after another. Really it was all such a fine taste!
Sushi mid afternoon made from the rest of the sunflower pate, some of the mango chutney and romaine lettuce. While making the sushi I munched on a few green beans dipped in the tahini dressing. The sushi was a super nice tasting combination. It also was a messy combination to put together. Next time a like combo I will stack the ingredients differently for a less sloppy to roll effect.
After being in the sun gardening for a couple of hours I enjoyed an orange and some walnuts. I drank a lot of water today. I returned to gardening and didn't come in until 5 past 8:00 PM. It was tempting to eat some fruit. My decision was it would be best if I gave myself a reflexology treatment following the energy treatment on myself this morning, drink a glass of water while watching something on netflix and call it a night. This I will do as soon as I post today's entry.
It was a Gorgeous Day! It surely felt like a day out of my childhood!
