Day 78

 

I love the refreshing change of the new season this time of year, in another month the early mornings will be crisp as chilled apples and it will be soon time to unpack the winter woolies. The beautiful new season pears are still unripened so I've put them in this little basket to pop on the counter, colourful fruit & vegetables really do brighten up a kitchen. Tomorrow morning I shall be preparing a double batch of my green smoothie as my man has put in his order for a greener start to his day. Following on from yesterday's little spruke about brocoli here is an easy to understand link on the amazing properties of the little edible tree that will hopefully inspire you and don't throw the 'trunk' like I used to - it is sweet and juicy and you can slice it up like carrot sticks. When I used to have my sauteed green veggies and gooey eggs for breakfast I would feel a real rush almost immediately so particularly for anyone who is unwell or recovering from illness, get munching! This evening we attended the launch the exciting new Chocalaterie on Ellenborough. Cacao has amazing health properties and in moderation can be a fabulous part of a good nutritional plan. I must say the chilli chocolate samples were enticing but Miss LouLou was very kind and gave me a little slab to take home for day 101. The clever girls have also apparently sourced a raw chocolate maker which I am very excited about. Keep an eye on LouLou's blog where I'm sure there will be lots of lovely photos very soon!
