The best timing to take action is when you notice it
When you take note of something, it is a signal from the Universe, that you should take care of it right away.
This is the “cold” season, have you tried brown rice roasted tea? If you are already a fan, try making it with fresh ginger…. (for the brave, crushed garlic (fresh) helps with coughing.) I am going to make a carrot, spinach smoothing heavy on the ginger, garlic and celery. (I’m adding beets)
Stay warm.

On antibiotics, I have given in to the need to R E S T … ok. what does that mean.. for me, it means, I take myself off to my room where it is quiet, I lie down and just let the weariness and the tired claim my body. I gave in and bought a Ninja and made myself a banana, fruit and yogurt smoothie. Yes, I did get a Starfit and after putting it together, filling it with the ingredients, I turned it on and nothing happened. Nothing
After several attempts, I simply left it on the counter and yesterday I got the Ninja, unpacked it, transferred the fruit etc. into the new Ninja, pushed down, and voila.. an ice cold smoothie. I’ll learn, buy what you want in the first place, I made a decision based on the cost.. and it was a total waste of time. I didn’t save money it cost me more time and money. Now I have a dud I have to repackage, and take back, waste more gas and time doing something I could have avoided, if I got what I wanted in the first place.
On the plus side, I am enjoying the freshly made, very cold, smoothie. Easy wash up too.
Have a great start to the week-end …

Quincy and Quinn are doing very well. They eat side by side, they rest in close proximity… both respect my space.. It’s all good!
While shopping the other day, I walked past a sample tray with out a second glance. It was only after I’d walked down a ways that I realized that what I had seen was a display of dates and peanut butter. Totally taken back by this combination, I went back for a proper look and to talk to the young man who as manning the sample booth. He informed me that only part of the ingredients were there since the raw pecan halves had not arrived in time for the demonstrations.
The appetizer was to have been stuffed Medjool dates with peanut butter and a piece of pecan . The dates are cut in half, the pit taken out, and then the half is stuffed with peanut butter and topped with a pecan half. I guess I had without consciously doing so, made a face. I just couldn’t picture the taste of date with peanut butter. The young man smiled and offered me a sample to taste. Being the polite woman that I am, I took it said thank you and walked away. Not wanting him to see me when I tasted what I thought would be a disaster.
Surprise, never mind that dates are a source of energy, fibre, magnesium and contain potassium, the combination of date and peanut butter was mouth-watering delicious. Just thinking about it, makes we want to go and make a couple.
I’ve since learned that dates are used in many vegan diets, and the combination of dates and peanut butter is not unusual at all, in fact it is a combination loved by many. There are a lot of recipes on Pinterest and other sites using that combination. I was the one who was walking around ignorant of this sweet treasure.
A tasty reminder to be aware of what is around you, be open to new possibilities, try something new, expand your horizons, you just never know, what new experience will bring a new “happy” into your world.
Date squares were always one of my favourite desserts, I don’t bake, eventually over the years, the date disappeared from my mind and diet. Guess what is coming back.. =^_^=
