Raw Fu is buzzing! there's so much going on over there, people getting all excited and planning their adventure and getting their kitchens ready and going shopping and a few having last hurrahs and saying good-bye to old food loves - it's like we're heading off to college or something. it's really, incredibly, sweet and cute and charming and exciting and fun fun fun.
and me - tomorrow is just another day on the 811 wagon. i love it so much, and i've been on it now for a full week, 8 days actually, and i haven't fallen off yet. i'm very proud of that. tonight my gorgeous friend Ruth is coming over and we're having a proper 811 meal of watermelon followed by a beautiful salad. i made an amazing dressing - 1 heirloom tomato and 4 fresh leaves of basil, blended - and since i'll have company, and since it's the night before the challenge, i'm celebrating a little by sharing an avocado with her and a sprinkling of hemp seeds on the salad! a little overt fat, not much at all. i don't feel the "need" for it, it just sounds like a nice opportunity. i don't get many chances to share an avocado, and i can't eat them leftover. open and eat, that's all. i think i might make "fries" by rolling the avo slices in the hemp seeds! yummy. haven't had that in awhile.

Fall is here. The leaves are gorgeous, but the temperature is not!!!
There is already lots of frost every morning. Hot water bottles are my
staples ever...

I liked your description of going off to college. :-) It seems like a really fun community so far! Hope your dinner was yummy!
ReplyDeleteUmmmm. Watermelon. Ok. I've figured out how to "save" an open avocado. Leave the seed in the half you are saving. Put Saran wrap over it and press it down over the green meat so no air gets in it. Then put it in a brown paper lunch bag and put it in the fridge. I've had really good luck with keeping it a few more days like that.
ReplyDeleteAlso, when a whole avo gets to the perfect ripeness, you can store it in a brown bag in the fridge for a week or so and it will stay good. It may feel and look bad on the outside, but if you cut it, the inside will be perfect...provided it was a good one in the first place.
