Living Rawesome Day #120 Hijiki and Kohlrabi with Sweet Tahini Dressing pg. 56 entertaining in the raw
November 22, 2009
Today is Sunday, so I started my morning reading the Word, then went off to work. I started around 7:30am then at 10am went to Unity. It was a great service today. I really am so thankful Rev. Lauri is back. I really needed the meditation. I have been meditating everyday but she has such a special voice. Her voice always takes me to that special place. After service I went back to work and didn’t get done until 9:15pm. It’s a long day on Sunday to be on my feet, but I love it.
I made 3 new recipes today at work. I am excited and I hope the customers like them. I made squash muffins, cashew cheese stuffed red peppers, and quinoa with apricots and walnuts. It is always fun on Sundays, I get to crank the music and I listened to Daniel Vitalis’s interviews. I admire his work. I haven’t heard as much from him but I feel like there is much to learn from him. Sunday’s allow me to be free of all the cares in the world. Sunday’s it’s just me and the food. I am grateful that I have a job that I completely adore:)
Tonight was the night to make the meal complete. I made the dressing for this salad two nights ago. I didn’t have the hijiki so I had to buy it tonight. I have to be honest, this was by far the most expensive recipe yet. A little bag of this cost me $20.00. I keep thinking the price must be wrong. I don’t think it is though, the price is unbelievable. I doubt I will ever buy this stuff again. I haven’t tried the salad yet, I am sleepy and ready for bed. I will try it tomorrow.
I soaked the hijiki for 30 minutes in warm water, peeled the kohlrabi and cut into my desired shape. I couldn’t garnish with sesame seeds, I forgot to buy them. I love seaweed, I think it will be a good meal. I hope it’s worth the 20 bucks!
Hijiki Ingredients
Hijiki soaked
1 kohlrabi, peeled and thinly sliced
Garnish
salt and pepper to taste
Chives
sesame seeds
When I put this together it reminded me of the ocean so I got somewhat creative and made a shell and starfish. I am far too tired to get elaborate with this meal. I just wanted to have some quick fun!
