More Booty

I brought this small harvest with me to my visit to the new raw vegan place, Pure Market Express, in Chaska - this - along with two huge bags of kale. There are so many ground cherries on the ground right now and what I harvested above was only about five minutes of work. I also picked one of the huge cayenne peppers and a ho chi minh. Also in there are the sweet purple marconi peppers, two different varieties of eggplant, green pepper, and a summer squash. When I got to the store I was instantly greeted by the Chef and owner, Rebecca. She ran back into her kitchen only to return with a raw donut hole. Oh my god delicious. I took a few things home with me to eat for supper that night - my favorite being the cilantro jalapeño cheese on top of some of the raw crackers. I would have been happy to have that as my entire meal but I had half a piece of lasagna and half a serving of Spicy Peanut Noodles (the leftovers were for Jim). Everything was so good and it just reminded me that we really need to get back to a more raw lifestyle again. Except we'll have to wait until after the State Fair and my birthday, right?

This morning I decided to start juicing again before the summer is over. So I picked some more kale and a beet and put that in the juicer along with a cucumber, broccoli, strawberries, apples and a pear - which I got from the fridge, not the garden. Yum!
