Butt Shelf, You are on Notice…

Posted by admin as ferment,, live-culture

I recently had a kindergarten class come and check out my back yard chicken setup, and someone took a picture of me from behind, I had two thoughts: 1) Holy Cr@p, I need to eat about four cups of cultured veggies right now, and 2) I am apparently wearing the wrong undies for those pants. Ejole!

                                                      

And even worse I can’t believe I am gonna share this picture with you, dear reader.

Soooooo, I had posted all proud that I had defeated the adrenal fatigue and the tell tale butt shelf, but apparently I still have some work to do. Here is my recipe for success: Eat as much raw, fermented, unpasteurized, alkalizing and adrenal glad nourishing foods as possible. Simple, eh?

So if you wanna stop drinking soda, great. If you don’t, eat more cultures. Or at least thats what I did. I am not YOUR doctor, just someone who figured out that my body works much less hard if I give it easy access nutrition, which is pretty much the opposite of the Standard American Diet (SAD) And my body could use a break, so I am gonna give it one.

When I feel tired, strung out and overwhelmed, I follow my above guidelines (recipe for success: Eat as much raw, fermented, unpasteurized, alkalizing and adrenal glad nourishing foods as possible), I rest more, and I do more Nia. 

And that’s what I know.

The Stove Had To Go…

Posted by admin as ferment,, live-culture

My home was built in 1927, the kitchen is small, a feng shui no no. So I deported the oven/stove, moved the fridge to where the oven had been, voila! A spacious open kitchen, or at least better than it was.

One point I had not foreseen, how were my roommates and partner going to cook? Because I would have sworn they only stepped in the kitchen to get water, make a PBJ or were in transit to the garage. Apparently they were secretly cooking when I was not home, making elaborate meals and feeding friends, or at least thats what they told me after the fact. I am more inclined to believe that it was more of a, ”what, we have to have a stove, all kitchens have a stove, wait, where did the microwave go?”

So my friend and best buddy Pat gave me a hot~plate that belonged to her dad, another friend rewired it after it sparked one day when he was over, and we were in business.

     So what is in my kitchen?

Things that cook:                                                                        
hot plate,
second hand convection oven,
a mammoth crock pot for enchiladas,
and a newly acquired waffle iron (I heart waffles!)

Things that do not cook:

Excalibur nine tray dehydrator
VitaMix
Green Star Juicer
Jack La Lane Juicer
Orange juicer
fridge (duh)

Acutriments in my kitchen that is use in my “high raw lifestyle”:
colanders
sprouter
mandolin
crocks
knives
jars & lids.

I am thinking I know more than the average bear about  different products, either from my experience, Pat’s feedback, or bitching and gritching from folks at Central City Co-op, so I will post what I know.

Supah Love,

Rowan
