Living Rawesome Day #135 Anise Syrup pg. 136 entertaining in the raw
December 7, 2009
I have to be honest. I haven’t bought any thai coconuts or jicama. Since most of the recipes call for those items I am pretty much out of luck. I still haven’t found rose water extract or orange blossom water. I need to order them online, along with maple syrup powder, but I still haven’t ordered any.
I am really not complaining I am just kind of rambling to put my thoughts down. I have been studying all day and I am really exhausted. I didn’t sleep that much, but I am so grateful! I am done with Anatomy and Physiology 1. Next semester is part 2. It was a great test experience. I prayed before, during, and after. I am grateful that I had the experience and it challenged me in so many ways. I have never been very fond of Science. I do have a degree in Science (Psychology) but I have never done well in Biology, Chemistry or Physics. This class has made me appreciate the human body on such a deep level. We are a magnificent species. I love knowing how the body works. I love to learn about it. I am looking forward to the next class and all other science classes after.
Tonight I am relaxing and listening to Jason talk to me about his Nursing class. He has to do a Practicum (performing his nursing skills) tomorrow morning. He is almost done with this semester. He is doing extremely well. It will be great to hang out with him on his vacation. I have exactly ONE MONTH until I go back to school. I am looking forward to biking, hiking, cleaning, reading and relaxing. We don’t have anything planned as of now. Also I am going to make delicious raw meals.
Tonight I picked the anise syrup. It is a simple recipe. My kitchen is a mess and I didn’t want to clean it. I am really exhausted and I guess I am a bit too honest about the condition of my house. What can I say,,, it is finals week and we are not keeping up with the house. It will get done. Besides, there is ALWAYS house work. Tomorrow is my Mother’s birthday so I will take the apricot “yogurt” cake over there and the sweet cream to go with this syrup and I still have to let my Dad try the citrus tart. I have to purchase thai coconuts and a dehydrator. I am surprising my Mom with the Dehydrator. I think she already knows that I am getting it. At least she won’t have to wait 2 years to get Teflex sheets:) She loves flax crackers, so I will get the ingredients for those too. She doesn’t read my blog so she won’t know. She is not very computer savvy. I can’t wait to see the look on her face:)

I am going to help Jason some then I am going to finish, Because I Said So. I love this movie. It is one of my faves. I may last for the whole thing, I am almost done with it. I watched some of it today to get a break from studying. I usually fall asleep in the first 5 minutes of all movies I try to watch at night. But if I don’t finish it tonight I have tomorrow or the next day. No more homework or classes for an entire month. Yippy!
