good morning!
i started off the 100 day kick-off with a bang!
i had made my dh some sausage w/onions & peppers for dinner
and the next day's lunch from an organic raised pig raised by his brother (thanks!)
so i decided to make the counterpart in raw vegan
and was very happy with the way it turned out.
my first task was to make it TASTE good
then to make it LOOK good too.
i succeed in both arenas :) yaaay!

i used pecans mostly as the base and then added some onion & apple
with spices and garden grown herbs. i was so happy with it!
now i am going back in my mind to recall the amounts of the ingredients
so i can make it again very soon.
i will be adding this recipe to the book "raw delights" for certain!
i found some wonderful fruit at the market and now my fruit bowl looks just bursting with goodness & overflowing- i had to eat the top nectarine cause it kept rolling off the top of the heap ;)
99 days to go!

that was yesterday, this is today
on my to do list :
make flax tortillas in the D
start sprouting some rye berries (craving some of alyssa's bagels)
make some cashew "cheese"

i still have 1 serving of the pecan sausage left
i have been rolling up a couple of spoonfuls in my garden grown romaine lettuce leaves.
they grew plentifully this year in my garden, and i am so glad!
i am still all bent out of shape that all my tomatoes were touched with the blight and rotted before ripening. grrrrr! i also need to get out to the garden & get it fall ready. i have a few enormous sunflowers growing in one corner who's stems are as thick as my arm, no kidding- they are at least 11 feet tall!!!

off to start some raw yummies for this week.
it always helps to have a plan- it boosts your success rate in a large way.
have a good one!

100 days till 2010

how do you eat an elephant
one bite at a time.

-don't get the wrong idea
i am not talking about eating this animal at all!
i am referring to goals that seem impossibly large
to accomplish-

tomorrow marks 100 days till 2010
isn't that a wonderful time frame to use in getting to some of your
nearest & dearest wished for goals??
i usually miss the boat when a group of people set out together
with mutual support to accomplish something big-
and i kick myself for not having begun in time.
well, this time i have a day to spare-
a day to get my ducks in a row.
:)
thanks for the heads up rebecca!

think of it as your very own personal 'swan' program
your goals can be of a physical nature, or emotional, mental, spiritual-
any and all changes you have always wanted to make.
if you make the bites small enough- it all becomes deliciously do-able.

the first thing i did was subscribe to the free emails (thanks dax!)
that give me a daily dose of encouragement
(i cannot endorse the program as i haven't purchased it- just the free emails)

next i am arranging all my goals and breaking them down into small steps that i can take to reach the end result (without too much pain hahaha!)

this is how people do the big things...
the great big memorable huge things
what big things do you want to do?
lose weight?
read the entire bible?
tone up?
make peace with someone?
eat more raw?
have an adventure?
make your marriage as great as it can be?
teach your children how to be good beings?
learn another language?
develop a skill?
start a business?
________ (you fill in the blank)

tomorrow begins the first day of 100...
join right on in-
reap the rewards!!!!
