0 Juiced

It must be the weather. Of late I have an indescribable craving for juices - fruit juice as well as juicy fruits. Yesterday I bought a 750ml glass bottle of Why Not? biodynamic carrot juice (imported from Germany) from RFG. Poured it over [Superfood Greens spirulina/hemp granola + chia + protein powder] this morning. It was so carroty and fresh and you could almost feel the vit A/C coursing through your veins. + a juicy October sun plum on the side, with additional snackies like homemade butter, JEM caramelly maca almond butter & some nuts. Yum.

0 The Culmination

I'm kind of excited and happy and relieved to finally submit my thesis. After 10 months, I have learnt so much and killed so much. 3 days more but I have et to write my discussion section.

Anyhow, the more important thing is that the most massive haul of online grocery shopping has finally arrived at the doorstep! Well not exactly because I had to personally collect it from the post-office. Loving ALL the stuff. From the vanilla COCONUT macaroons to the "cheezy" kale krunch chips to the spirulina granola which I thought would be like oat bran kind porridge, but nevermind, it's darn tasty. The JEM almond butter was kind of below my expectations though. It tasted between a cross of gula melaka and kaya, a bit of almond flavour but not really there. I think I'll stick to the traditional almond butters like Woodstock or Artisana but it makes a nice drizzly topping nonetheless. Have yet to open the macadamia nut butter and raw cacao butter and cacao nibs!

Oh yes, the most awesome sammich for lunch: Gardenia bread with pesto, salmon + barely there wiggly sunny side-up egg whites, cherry tomatoes and sprinkles of KALE KRUNCH. Made complete with a whole october sun plum and a guilty indulgence of a crumble of vanilla almond macaroon.
