Well the real computer (internet we steal) has been acting up again so it is back to posting on my phone. Which is somewhat limmited. First off I want to say I was given an award by hihorosie... and when I get back to the real computer I will post more on that.
Secondly, we are getting closer and closer to our 100 day raw food challenge people. Very exciting!
Thirdly, I got a mature coconut last week and I wasn't sure what I was going to use it for. Last night I cracked it (using the technique shown on the youtube video I posted to raw fu) and it was super easy. I made coconut milk from the meat and juice in the blender and strained it through cheese cloth. It even secreted a little COCONUT CREAM! Which I immediately ate right off the cloth. Mmm fat. I put the pulp in the dehydrator. So I have this big glass of fresh coconut milk and I was thinking "now what to do whith this???" I decided to whip up a delicious curry. I have never made curry personaly, before this, and I am not super familiar with the elements of indian/thai/whoever else uses curry food. Internet was down so I browsed through my copious pile of raw cookbooks... didn't have many of the ingredients for any curry recipe so I just went for it. I used about 2 cups of coconut milk, 1 med/sm avocado, 2 t curry powder, 1/2 t chilli powder, 1/2 t paprika, a squeeze of lemon juice, a pinch of garlic powder. Then I chopped up some veggies: mushroom, tomato, green onion, zuchini, and added them to the soup/saucy stuff. I put some in a bowl and put it in the dehydrator for about a half hour... just long enough that it wasn't cold. I chopped some cilantro and apples and put those and raisins on top. It turned out pretty good. I felt the sauce was lacking just a little bit but I didn't know what to add. All the flavors in the veggies made up for it though so it was still very satisfying. Any one have any curry tips for me for next time?
Fourthly, now I need to figure out what to do with that coconut pulp. I'm thinking COOKIES!
Fifthly, (haha, can you tell I'm having fun with the numbers?) I get my raw raw cashews in the mail today. I am so pumped. Oh! My produce order comes today also! We still have quite a bit of lettuce left, lovest has not been eating his salads this week!
I think that's about it...
Lets all hope my computer is up and rolling this evening!
