Day 22

Rate this Entry
Well, the garlic toast came out tasting more like bread than anything else I've made so far. It comes from Rawsome: 3 cups almond pulp, 1 cup flaxseeds, soaked in 2 cups water for 15 minutes, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 cup chopped garlic, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 2 Tb fresh rosemary (or 1 Tb dried) and 1/2 cup water. Process and then make into rounds and put on dehydrator sheets in the usual way (flipping them after a few hours). 12-15 hours and they are crispy on both sides but soft in the middle.

The peach cobbler was good too. I got that from an online source. thesunnyrawkitchen.blogspot.com

It was good too.

I have an Excalibur dehydrator and it works great and has for years and years, but I think I may need a nine tray one instead of the four trays that I have now. I am making fruit leather every day now and that takes up two trays, and I'm always experimenting with new recipes. I still haven't found anything that I would regard as a stand by or a staple, and that worries me. I'm afraid I'll get hungry and succumb to temptation.

I certainly am not finding that I have boundless energy, but perhaps I'm still in detox. I had a rash on my face and chest this morning, probably my liver sending stuff out that way.

I dreamt last night that I was at a convention and there was food everywhere, but I carefully went from table to table, picking up only the raw food--carrots, celery, and at one place a bunch of beets still attached to their greens. So I think that means my brain is working on the idea that this is forever and I will have to find ways to stay raw even when away from home.

    I can almost smell the garlic toast. And peach cobbler! Ooohh! I've been looking at Excalibers on various websites. If they were available locally I'd go get one right now! I'm not feeling boundless energy either, but definitely less lethargic than I used to be. Hurray for Raw Dreams! Your subconscious mind is doing some of the hard work for you. Your doing great.

    OOOOOOOhhhhhh, garlic toast....mmmmm.....that's cool that it tastes yummy - I have that book too! Do you like the whole flax in it? I'm not sure how I feel about them that way anymore. Last night I had a dream I was going to eat steak! (I didn't even eat that before I went raw) - and then I had this deep sadness that I was letting everyone else down - - then I woke up!

    I find I like munching on simpler stuff lately - a handful of nut, some dried fruits, etc. You are so ambitious with all the recipes - I wish we lived closer so that would rub off on me!

    Rawknitster I was going to see if you wanted my old dehydrator. I could send it to you after I get the new one. I'm finding that trying new recipes is what keeps me honest--there's always the hope of finding the ideal food (something I'll be able to eat again and again).
    Monk, I didn't find the flax a problem although I don't like flax crackers. Maybe the proportion is small enough to hold things together without being annoying.
