Thistle Garden: December 2012

http://life-at-thistlegarden.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

Saturday, December 29, 2012. The white stuff. The refined bad for you stuff.today I crave it. I want chocolate bars, I want to eat that box of Turtles from Christmas. I want to eat those butter tarts in the crinkly Christmassy cellophane bags tied with red and green ribbons. I wonder if I will always struggle with this or if the cravings fade over time? I've eaten some dried apricots to help with the sugar cravings meh! Looking forward to tomorrow . looks like I have some kale to cook up. 1 cup of all br...

Monday, May 21, 2012. Powell River Garden Tour. The Powell River garden tour is an annual event that I try not too miss. Yesterday some friends and I had the pleasure of seeing, walking and enjoying some lovely gardens. I thought I would take many more pictures but I only took this one! I fell in love with this flower . which is a shame because I have no idea what it is! Do you know what this is? Links to this post. Friday, May 18, 2012. Links to this post. Thursday, May 3, 2012.

Thistle Garden: November 2012

http://life-at-thistlegarden.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Friday, November 23, 2012. The Powell River Food security project hosted a beginners course on food fermentation last week. I was interested because sauerkraut was on the list and I love sauerkraut. If you asked me two weeks ago I would have said sauerkraut is cooked and vinegar is used as a preservative, not true . sauerkraut is fermented using salt and whey. It's really quite simple, all you need is a little bit of time. This is what we did:. Very thinly slice one head of cabbage. Shred 1 - 2 carrots.

Thistle Garden: What's missing?

http://life-at-thistlegarden.blogspot.com/2012/12/whats-missing.html

Friday, December 28, 2012. I'm liking this new diet but for one thing . the missing fat! Somehow the butter and the oil smooths out the food, makes my mouth feel somewhat silky! I'm getting some fat from nuts but it's not quite the same. This doesn't mean that I'm quitting . quite the opposite. I feel good and not counting calories feels really good and eating whenever I'm hungry is a real treat. 1 slice of whole grain bread with tomato slices and pea shoots. 2 handfuls of trail mix. Chickens On The Porch.

http://life-at-thistlegarden.blogspot.com/2012/12/on-my-way-to-healthy-new-me.html

Thursday, December 27, 2012. On my way to a healthy new me. Forget New Year's . I'm going to change today! Big words I know. How did I get here? That's a two sided question. How did I let myself get so fat, so out of shape, so UNHEALTHY, that's one question and the other .how did I decide adopting a veganish way of living was the way to go. Please note the word "veganish" . I will explain in later posts. A little while back I watched Forks over Knives documentary. So far I have eaten:. 2 cups of chick pe...

Thistle Garden: ...not thinking only of food

http://life-at-thistlegarden.blogspot.com/2013/01/not-thinking-only-of-food.html

Sunday, January 6, 2013. Not thinking only of food. I do have other interests besides food. I started reading War and Peace . I've been sewing like mad. I've been crocheting . I learned how to knit cables . I'm debating growing veggies this year, the seed catalogs are starting to come in . And now I'm back to food! I'll be updating the menu at my restaurant Magpie's Diner. My son and his family together with Art will be my testers and if it gets two thumbs up it just might up it to the the menu! A Powell...
