This year eat " Eggplant Bacon"

Hello Everyone,

For the new year, Eggplant Bacon is being added to my menu. Last year, I was getting tired of preparing the Eggplant Pizza. The bacon is a new twist to add to my salads. Nice side dish to compliment pancakes for breakfast. This is a basic recipe from the Alissa Cohen "Raw Food for Everyone".

1/2 cup of Nama Shoyu
2 tablespoons agave nectar
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 large eggplants

1. Whisk together the Nama Shoyu, agave, and cayenne in a large bowl and set aside.
2. Peel and discard the eggplant skin. Continue peeling the eggplant and make 1-inch-wide long strips, rotating the eggplant and peeling until the seedy core is reached. Discard the core. Arrange the eggplant strips in a shallow dish and marinate in the shoyu-agave mixture for 1 hour.
3. Once marinated, lay the strips flat on mesh dehydrator racks and dehydrate for at least 12 hours, until crisp. Once dehydrated, keep the eggplant strips in the dehydrator for optimum crispness or put them in a plastic container and cover. They will keep indefinitely at room temperature or in the dehydrator.
Enjoy.




This is the second time I am preparing the Eggplant Bacon. I like to add the Raw Miso instead of the Nama Shoyu. In the morning time, it's fruit with berry sauce and bacon.




Also for the new year, the dark brown bedroom furniture will be painted white. White is the color of purity, formality, elegance and neutrality. I don't have to worry about what color to mix it with. It represents successful beginnings as well as peace. The night table is finished. The chair is currently getting a new look. Next will be the two chest drawers. One of them is heavy with a huge mirror attached on the back. I love the challenge.

I went to Ikea today looking for a unique lamp for my bedroom. This medium sized mouth blown glass globe is interesting. The light is directed upwards and around. It creates a soft bright glow. The frosted white cherry blossoms gives a mystic effect.










I am looking to add leopard print garments or material. For me they are the all-year round neutral garments that can go with many things. The best prints are the ones with the white or grey backgrounds. I made a Kimono style blouse out the teal print. I added this vintage pendant with my outfit. Not sure how old this dragon figure is. I added the blue stones to the piece.


















The lighting was dark but I wanted to show the shape of the blouse. Pants and long top was found at the "American Outlet Store" . Suede boots are by Born.
