Living Rawesome Day #180 White Tofu and Mushroom Salad Dressing pg. 58 entertaining in the raw
January 21, 2010
I got an A on my hormone test in Anatomy and Physiology 2 class! I can’t believe it. I am ready for this semester now. It was kind of like a nudge for me to get started studying and be strong! I can get through this. I am dreaming awake. I love this lifestyle and I want to always live like this, FOREVER, but to a higher power:)!
I realized a few things today..
1. I want to be a party starter. I don’t like to do clean up. This analogy came to me today in class. I feel like many people want to help people when they are sick, I want to be on the other end of it. I am on the wellness side. The beginning of the party and during the festivities, if you know what I mean. I have never been good at the clean up crew at a party. I know my family can vouch for that.
2. I feel like my life is consistent with inconsistency. I feel amazing most of the time, but sometimes I don’t. I feel like there is always something in this Universe pushing me to be a positive person, and do positive in the world. Sometimes I get away from that and turn inward and self reflect. I think that I do a little self healing then I can go out and heal others.
I am learning so much about myself. I feel like I am finally taking time to see the real me. I am happy!
And I did start making one of the raddest meals tonight. It is going to be so beautiful!
White Tofu Ingredients
1 cup cashews, soaked 1-2 hours
1/2 cup fresh young Thai coconut meat
1/2 cup raw carageenan (soaked irish moss, and mixed with same amount of water in Vita-mix)
1/2 cup water
1/4 t salt
I put all ingredients into the Vita-mix then I lined a glass dish with plastic wrap and poured the mixture in and covered it in the refrigerator. It will be ready tomorrow.
Salad Ingredients
1 cup black trumpet mushrooms (I will use shiitake)
1 T white miso
1 t minced ginger
1 T sesame oil
1 T lemon juice
1 T raw agave
I mixed all ingredients, except mushrooms together in a bowl. I will put this dressing on mushrooms tomorrow.
I also soaked black sesame seeds for tomorrow’s black tofu recipe. I do not have black sesame paste, so I am making my own. Hope it works!
