Living Rawesome Day #15 Tabbouleh pg. 88 everyday raw
Today was a busy day. I went to church and I was supposed to stop at work and strain the lentils and mung beans for sprouting and I forgot my keys!! I was not pleased. I had so much I wanted to get done today that it made me in a bad mood. I let it ruin about 20 minutes of my day:( I wanted to do laundry, go to the gym, pay bills, make my recipes, and I wanted to go to the drum circle tonight. So when I realized I forgot my keys and I would have to go back and strain them later, I of course didn’t feel happy. I always fill my day up all the time. I really leave no room for error. Forgetting my keys to open the store was not on my agenda. I often fill up my day with so many things that I don’t always get things done. But I did. Jason helped me with the laundry (he loves me), and then I got to workout. I also got to go to Crystal River to the drum circle.
I made Jason the quinoa tabbouleh. I sprouted it for 24 hours and then made this simple salad. It is made with extra virgin olive oil, fresh squeezed lemon juice, onion, cucumber(I used zucchini), parsley, tomatoes, and sea salt. I hope he likes it. He is working but I told him that when he gets home he has several meals waiting for him. This project has been great for us, I never used to make so many meals for him. I bet he feels like a king. Maybe he will love me more because I am making him yummy raw meals. That was a joke. I used zucchini in this salad because Jason doesn’t like cucumber so I decided that I would use zucchini because it is very similar looking.
I finished the picadillo meal. It turned out beautiful. I used bananas instead of plantains. I couldn’t find any ripe plantains. I made the macademia sour cream to go on top. It is easy to make too. You soak the mac nuts for several hours then they go into the blender with lemon juice, olive oil, salt. It is very easy to make and it’s so creamy and good. I hope Jason likes it when he gets home. Here are some photos below.
It’s funny how after you are introduced to things for the first time they often keep showing up. Well, on my way to the drum circle I passed a cuban restaurant and on their sign it said picadillo-chicken. I never would’ve noticed it before but now that I know what Picadillo is I bet I will see it again sometime soon. Things happen like that for me.
I had a nice day today. I learned that life is a dance. And it is my choice to move to the beautiful rhythm, even though I can’t follow the beat sometimes. I still remain determined that I will find it again and dance and jump and shout to it as best I can. Thank you God for my day today. Goodnight:)
