I Love The Rain!

Yeah it is a little bit stupid but I love the rain.  Sunday was perfect for staying in bed late, which I never do, reading, creating my next newsletter and cooking.  Okay it is always a perfect time to cook.
Garson and I went to the Georgetown Farmers Market and got lots of beautiful fruits and veggies.  Then it was off to Mrs. Greens in Fairfield.  What a great market.  I wanted to scope the place out before I do a couple of demos.  I will be there on Tuesday September 28 from 10am-2pm.  I will be handing out free samples of a couple of my favorite salad  and giving out information on greens.  Then I will be back again on Thursday October 7, same time to talk about calcium.  We walked around and checked out the store.  Really nice.  We loved the prepared food section - we bought a  piece of yummy spinach pie, Thai noodles(a little boring) and had a apple, ginger. wheat grass drink.  I can't wait to make that one for us again. We then finished our grocery shopping at Whole Foods and came home.  Garson worked on putting a new tire on his bike and putting new glass in one of his side view mirrors.  He had a rather rough week on the bike.  Some over aggressive jerk tried to run him off the road on Rt 84 on Thursday.  The police finally came and ticketed the guy.  That was scary.
 Well I put together some great food this afternoon.  A raw frozen lime bars, hummus(my son loves that), an eggplant dip that a friend at worked shared with me, some raw oatmeal cereal to eat next week and our usual green drink.  I just realized that I have never shared that on my blog.  I first saw it in the Vegetarian Times magazine.  Dr Joel Furhman came up with this concoction.  It is sooo good for you.  Some times we add more fruit when we need sweet and sometimes more greens when we are feeling like we need to be healtier.
Try it.
