Under the Sea? February 6. 2007
Me:
Breakfast: Orange Juice, Granola Cereal, Coffee
Lunch: Turkey Sandwich on mulit-grain bread
Akom:
Lunch: Tomato Soup and Under Seal Salad, Kiwi and Pears
Again I used the Rainbow Green Live-Food Cuisine as a starting off point. I have to admit I had written off the recipes from this book, because of the way the introduction is written, very technical and medical-ese. I am now finding, that not only are most of the recipes easy to make, but they also come out very tasty.
The tomato soup I think got 4 out of 4 stars from Akom. Actually, I even liked it. I think the addition of the sundried tomatoes definitely gave it that extra kick that it was lacking.
The salad on the other had got 3 out of 4 stars, which is probably more my fault than the recipes. I failed to realize that sea vegetables need to be soaked. Once I realized it was a little late in the game, so I soaked them for as long as I could, which I think was at most 15 - 20 minutes. Poor Akom, he had a tough time chewing through it
. He did say that it was a good combination of tastes. I did improvise and added in a radish and some leftover celery from the tomato soup. The dressing was very simple to make
Total time spent on making lunch: 1 hour (Soup 15 min., Salad 35 min., Clean up 20 min.)
Tip: Try to use the same utensil, bowl etc. over and over when making a meal. It's all raw, and who knows, the "extra ingredient" may make the dish taste better.
