sea vegetables & more

i think i'm still tired from the long drive from dallas. it didnt help that i had a double espresso before i started on my long drive, which meant i didnt sleep well on sunday (like 3am!) and it kind of rolled over till today. i'm going to try to catch up on some desperately needed sleep!

we made some really yummy food though (what's new!)

we started the week with an introduction to making wheatgrass shots. russell, our instructor made three different concoctions which was very interesting for us to understand the different effects of mixing different ingredients.

we had wheatgrass on its own, and then the second shot was mixed with apple juice (which was too sweet for my liking) and the third shot was with ginger juice (very spicy but really gives you the kick!)





and then we made a sea vegetable salad from the sea vegetables that we soaked on friday.


i was introduced to 2 new vegetables :-) can you recognize them?



and this was my lunch!



psst...the first one is a watermelon radish, the second one is golden beet.

and i had my leftover ice cream... plus some from two of my coursemates.



i'm trying to keep up with my blogging but having fallen behind, there's so much to say!

we started tuesday 13th april with a very tiring task... to open up a box of 9 coconuts and separating the meat from the coconut water. hard work! after what seem like forever, i finally finished opening my batch and then we went on to more interesting stuff, like making the wrappers for the next recipe...







then we did prep for the burger buns, which have to be dehydrated. we used the almond flour which we dehydrator when we made almond milk. i forgot to take pictures of the buns... see what happens when you are busy having fun! you forget serious work like taking pics of burger buns! :-)

anyway it turned out great... and we made portobello burgers today, i think i put too much salt & olive oil in my portobello marinade. it was swimming in oil when i tried to cut it. oh well that's why i'm here. to learn! i am still bloated from lunch.



after lunch, we did prep for tomorrow... more chopping and cutting, etc.... what are we making tomorrow... hmmmm.... give u a hint, we'll be using the wrappers!

check back and see!
