Lunch Today.

Barley Risotto

I find it hard to stay very raw when the weather is so cold, but I do keep 2 out of 3 meals raw everyday. This is my newest acquisition — Hello Kitty Rice Bowl with Cover.

Easygreen

Love love love my Easygreen Sprouter, the best sprouter in the world (and believe me, I have and tried every sprouter there is! :-) ) The chamber provides such perfect enviroment for the sprouts, it sprays water automatically with the set timer, no soaking, no rinsing, zip, nada… takes just 5 days to mature — everyday put in a tray, everyday you harvest a tray of sprouts. It is fantastic!

Spouts

This is my favorite snack — Sprout Sushi Roll (with either vagan mayo, or raw cashew mayo) — it is really yummmm :-)

THERE HAVE BEEN TOMATOES EVERYWHERE! (since I have been shaking the plants everyday to pollinating them, lots of tomatoes in the past months :-) )

—— End of Update ——

I have officially gone even mader and got my THIRD aerogrow garden — growing Cherry Tomotoes with this one. Apparently, LouLou is as excited as I am! :-)

leaf Day lost count… July 22, 2007

Tomato

Since I don’t seem to do a good job pollinating the flowers, I have long given up on my tomato plants and let it grow wild — somehow planning on starting it all over again.

For the first time in a long while, besides watering them, I took a look, there it was, a tiny little green tomato! (pictured is about the real life size) Well, one is better than nothing — I can’t wait for it to turn yellow :-)

Lunch today, persimmon & kiwi in double deck Hello Kitty lunch box — not really LouLou’s… :-)

Hello Kitty & LouLou

Ever since I started using this amazing organic grocery delivery service — Urban Organic, I have had abundant of in season organic fruits and vegetables that taste so exceptionally great. I really didn’t know there could be such a huge difference in the texture and taste of a fruit when it is grown right. Help saving this planet is quite a fantastic thing after all :-)
