Recipe: Sweet Pea Soup

Sweet Pea Soup

Trying out new recipes is fun!

In the book "The art of raw living food" there is a recipe for a pear cake...we tried it and it tastes yummy!

It's made with chopped pears, vanilla sauce (made with pine nuts), cinnamon and agave....it tastes delicious!

And if you have a couple of spoons of leftovers (well, impossible, I tell you) you can add them to any smoothie and it will make it rich and creamy, more yummy! No photo… we ate it too quickly. :)

We also made a Sweet Pea Soup. I tweaked a version I found on the internet and here is my own version :) with photo on top of the page:

Sweet Pea Soup

Serves 4 (if you use small bowls)

3 cups sweet peas, thawed (we actually warmed them up slightly)

1 avocado

2 cups cucumbers

2 cups celery (I used only one and it was overpowering so next time there will be none!)

1/4 cup fresh dill

1/4 cup cashews, ground (optional)

2 cloves of garlic (we used 1)

1 green onion

1 tbs lemon juice

1 tsp miso (we used Soy sauce)

Water until desired consistency is reached

Salt, to taste (we put no salt)

Blend until smooth.

How to heal from Paronychia (bacterial nail infection) with herbs!

How a friend healed from Paronychia (bacterial nail infection) with herbs! About a week ago I went to my local supermarket and I noticed that the till assistant had a sling on his bandaged middle finger. I am curious by nature , so I couldn't help asking him what happened to his finger. Carl, that was his name, promptly showed me and my daughter his finger (after taking off bandage and sling of course). To have an idea of what it looked like, have a look at Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paronychia It looks painful, doesn't it? He said that when he was watching a football on TV, he didn't realise that his nail-biting had gone a bit over the limit, and he had torn some flesh. His doctor was about to see him in two days, he reassured me, and he probably expected to be given antibiotics to treat the infection. Not happy with what I saw, I suggested a few herbs that could help him earlier than his G.P. appointment. However, once I got hom

Growing crops in a commercial size polytunnel - and fighting rabbits! (video included)

Growing crops in a commercial size polytunnel I'm having great fun in my 12.5 mt long polytunnel. Not only I get to see my plants thrive in almost 39C during sunny days, but I fight some cute rabbits every day as they dig under the doors and destroy my cauliflower and boccoli plants! I'm not a professional gardener or photographer, but I hope you will enjoy my basic photos of plant life in the hottest spot of my garden. You will also see that we captured a baby rabbit who was guilty of untold damage and a then we released it (he was sooo cuddly!) But 2 weeks later, we caught him again and this time we released it in a park nearby (full of other rabbits, water etc) so he can eat plenty of produce - just not ours! A video is available on the bottom of this page. The first night we moved the strawberries outdoors, they were not protected, and the morning after the rabbits had eaten most of the plants - leaves and all! Needless to say, we rushed to build a protected U-shap
