What're you eating right now?

This morning I'm eating a salad of red swiss chard, romaine, and some homemade, pickled chayote. Dressing is just lemon. I never knew chard was just beet tops, nor did I ever expect that I'd like them so much! I dislike celery, but I find I really enjoy chard stem. It's like celery without the horrible flavor I associate with celery. (I normally really like vegetables, so I couldn't tell you why I don't like celery. I do like the hearts, but not enough to wanna go through the rest of the celery.) Also, the pickled chayote aren't totally raw, but they're pretty close. They had warm brine poured on them. I made them before I started eating raw things, but I know for sure I could make a raw version. I'll have to do that later and post for you guys.

Various things but just finished half a melon that I shared with the dogs.

I eat / drink fruit all during the day and then have a veggie salad for dinner. :)

Just finished some concord grapes, and soon I will be making a green smoothie with mango, bananas, spinach, water, ice.

I wish I could enjoy green smoothies, but I find my opinion of them leans toward, why should I put spinach in my smoothie and ruin the delicious fruitiness of it, when I could have a smoothie and a spinach salad instead? Hehe. It would be easier though.

Now I'm having kimchi and cucumbers. The kimchi is all raw! I fermented it myself. I should make another batch, I have a feeling it's going to become one of my staple food items on a raw diet. Which is fine with me. I always feel great when I am eating a lot of kimchi.

Well, let's see. You can put the spinach in your green smoothie, and then later you can have a regular salad for another meal. So you get an extra serving of leafy greens. The spinach green smoothie still tastes sweet from the mango and bananas.
