Woke up today looking forward to my cup of coffee. I have painstakingly worked on how to have the most alkaline coffee possible. I start off with bottled Arrowhead Spring water and then use a coffee sock to filter the goods. What this boils down to is a darn good cup of Joe. If you like it sweet and blond try a little local honey and coconut milk.
This is a day for a walk. I needed something that was not quite so taxing on my body. The last two days I spent doing housework and yard work. Walking is a placid exercise compared to this. Maybe you didn’t get this before, but I love coconuts. After my morning coffee, Randy opened up a lovely coconut. While it was draining, Mother Nature called him away and I had to finish letting the nut drain. It was a BE-U-Ti-ful nut in that it had a lot of milk and not much meat (my fav…more like pudding). This was just the nourishment I needed to get through the walk.
Breakfast this morning may sound somewhat familiar as we did have a soft poached egg on steamed spinach. That’s gotta be good for you, right? Today’s compliment was Pork Breakfast Sausage from Whole Foods, toast from sprouted grain bread (Whole Foods again) and of all things…Parmesan cheese.
Then it was off to the big land known as “Downtown”. It was a shopping day. First stop was Home Depot to return $23 worth of stuff and buy $130 worth of stuff… all to keep the water that drains from the washer away from the pole that holds the house up so that the house will still stand. Hmmmmm.
Next stop – Wally World – AKA WalMart. A stop at the bank, some necessary items and off to Whole Foods. This is a real grocery day. Had to get a lot of things I was out of. We were going to have pizza for lunch (homemade of coarse), but by the time we got done shopping it was after 2pm (there seems to be a pattern forming here) and we opted for some fresh meat on the Barbee. I picked up some NZ lamb and since we haven’t had lamb in like forever, I knew this was the right lunch.
I seasoned the lamb with some Hawaiian sea salt, Italian seasoning and Worcestershire sauce. I had an old cedar plank that was at the end of its usefulness as a plank and so we recycled it into smoke chips (well slivers really). Along with the lamb we had some steamed yellow zucchini and onions. While we were waiting, we enjoyed a little pate on Rainforest Crisp crackers.
We are having a little issue with where our washer water dumps and one of the errands we did today was to Home Depot to get a long collapsible water “pipe” to encourage the water to go to the right place. Once the pipe was installed we had to test it out with a load of laundry. Well it worked perfectly. Another home project moving forward.
The best place to watch the sunset is from the jacuzzi so that’s exactly how it went down tonight. After a nice soak in the tub it was time to make dinner. I was so happy when I looked in the fridge and found all sorts of leftovers to make a nice taco salad. I found one tupperware with shredded cabbage, one with grated cheese, one with chopped onions, and one with the taco meat. All I had to do was heat up the meat and voila dinner is served. As the meat was heating we decided to add a little more grated turmeric to the meat just because of its anti inflammatory qualities. If you have any aches or pains, arthritis or swelling consider adding turmeric to your diet every day.
