hard to be raw in Pa. Dutch country
But not impossible. Well not always impossible. I think we were able to stay raw for breakfasts and lunches, until we went out to to eat out with friends. Then came the point in our weekend in Pa. that we had to make some adjustments…like…if we can’t eat raw, we’ll eat vegan, and at one point…if we can’t eat vegan, we’ll eat vegetarian. It didn’t take us long to re-enter, though. We were back raw as soon as we hit our own kitchen.
Tonight we’re finally having that raw chili. Using up the sprouted lentils, wild rice, and sunflower seeds. I’m getting pretty good at winging a red sauce. As long as I have tomatoes, dried tomatoes, and a bit of dried fruit, I’m good to go. Tonight I added some raw salsa and some chili powder with the other ingredients, and out came a spicy chili sauce. It will be over the sprouts tonight, and probably get a second run over some noodle-ized sweet potatoes. I found almost any veggie tastes good spiralized.
Now to look for that raw apple pie recipe that Alicia remembers. I have been craving something deserty myself, so I’ll post it as soon as I find it.
With Spring right around the corner, it’s time to think about expanding my veggie garden. Hearing about Lynne’s pledge to eat local, really got me thinking. I read B. Kingsolver’s book about their family’s year of local eating, and enjoyed it. Eating raw should make that easier, I think…especially if I had some kind of green house….Hmmmmmmm.
