Day 15

Well, after yesterday's  - I was going to say "disaster" - experience, I knew that Noel would be a little gun shy today.  That called for going back to the familiar to get his confidence back.  So I made a couple of his favourites - Wilted Kale Salad (recipe in Day 2 post) and Walnut Pate (recipe in Day 9 post) with homemade flax crackers.  I can never go wrong with him with the Kale Salad, so I knew that he would be happy - and he was.  That means that I can try something new again tomorrow!

We are into our 3rd week of 100% raw already.  It is so hard to believe how fast the time is going.  I have so many recipes that I want to try, so stay tuned.

I'm really looking forward to the new growing season.  I subscribe to the SCA program at Wild Rose Farm in Gilbert's Cove.  This is an organic farm run by Gilberte Doelle - a real pioneer in this area.  Each week I receive a basket or bag of whatever fresh veggies or greens or herbs that she is harvesting that week.  It has forced me to try new foods and find new recipes.  The experience has been so wonderful that this will be my third year being involved in the program.  Come on spring!

And this year I will also have my own garden, and maybe greenhouse, growing.  So I'm looking forward to being able to do more totally raw days soon.  But, because we have so many four legged visitors, I am going to have to work on fencing very early on.  Here are 2 of the 4 visitors we had today.

I want to encourage them to stay - but not at the expense of my fresh veggies!

Stay tuned for new recipes tomorrow.  For now...
