Essential Sunday

Hello Every one,

Nice to have Sunday off. I can catch up with rest, sewing and planning my meals for the week. I make sure my kitchen is stocked with the essential items needed to prepare raw meals. I buy extra amounts of nuts, dried fruits and condiments. The essentials are important because you want to be able to make something quick and delicious when you get a craving. Lately, my cravings are for a bag of chips.
Shopping once a week is the goal. Living in the city makes this impossible. I purchase the sales items only. This gives me the opportunity to choose from eleven health food stores. I do two stores a week. When it comes to vegetables, I'm never without salad greens, avocados, carrots, mushrooms, zucchini and cucumbers. For the fruits, bananas, oranges, strawberries and blueberries can be frozen to make ice cream and smoothies. Apples , grapes and pears are what I eat the most. What ever dried nuts, fruits or seeds are on sale for the week , I buy in bulk. When it comes to the raw condiments, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Bragg Liquid Aminos and almond butter.

This week I want to try a new Sauce to go over my Zucchini Spaghetti . It is similar to the Marinara Sauce. From the Alissa Cohen "Living on Live Food" book.

TARRAGON PEPPER SAUCE

4 red bell peppers
2 large tomatoes
6 tablesppons olive oil
2 tablesppons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons tarragon
Sea Salt and black pepper to taste

Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.
Enjoy.









Yesterday , I finished my denim satchel bag. The measurements are 12' by 8' inches. The bottom has a wide flat panel. The bags I create are small but compact. This satchel can hold a large water bottle and small items without being packed.







Finished my corduroy pants. They are warm and perfect for this 19 to 31 degree winter weather. I made sure to picked a thick wale corduroy. "Wales" are the ribs that run down the fabric. The feel of the pile gives the fabric a surface much like a well kept lawn. It is not easy finding thick Corduroy material. The retail industry sells the thinner popular material that is mixed with synthetics . Many people don't know how lustrous Corduroy can be. The best ones are the 100 percent combed cotton.
