Valentine's Day Kimchi Making at BioFuel Oasis

Many fun classes offered at BioFuel Oasis


What a great way to spend a morning!

They also teach Urban Farming: raising chickens and bee keeping!

I loved that the tea was served with fresh raw goat's milk from a BioFuel peeps' goat!

Dockers Blue Corduroy Bicycle

Check out this fabulously creative ride!

They even have a matching blue corduroy bike chain!
It must get really soggy on rainy days...and we've had a lot of those lately.

I love my neighborhood!

Jackfruit Discovery in Singapore

I've never seen a Jackfruit before this trip to Singapore!

I love it!
It's very sweet (has a honey flavor) and is easy to eat you if buy it cut up and packaged from "Cold Storage" as I did. See extra wiki pics for reference on what they look like NOT cut open and nicely packaged.

Here is the Wiki Knowledge:
The jackfruit is a species of tree in the mulberry family (Moraceae), which is native to parts of South and Southeast Asia. It is the national fruit of Bangladesh.  It is well suited to tropical lowlands. Its fruit is the largest tree borne fruit in the world, seldom less than about 25 cm (10 in) in diameter.

Day 5 - Semi-Raw in Singapore: Dinner at Clarke Quay

Day 5 was a great day for staying clean and raw - having consumed fruit and veg up until 7:30 pm.


We met our friend Elaine at Clarke Quay for dinner and stopped at The Clinic for a pre-dinner cocktail: a non-raw gin and tonic.


We chose a Vietnamese/Indo-Chine restaurant called Forbidden.

Our starters were nearly raw: Green papaya salad and grapefruit with prawn salad. The entrees we shared (not pictured) were green curry duck, steamed black cod and sea bass with mango salad.

Day 5 - Raw in Singapore Lunch by the Pool

Yesterday I discovered Sweet Thai Water Apples at the same fruit stand where I found Mangosteen.


This was a perfect light lunch.

I was pleasantly surprised that the Water Apples had such little waste - you can eat everything including the one small seed.
The mangosteens were a bit messy and hard to open, but SO worth sticky hands and the effort.

Off to Clarke Quay for dinner tonight....hope I can stay on my raw food living diet since I've done so well thus far today.

Pumpkin Pond Farm in Nantucket, MA

Organic greens galore... and more!
I love small organic farms and this one is so adorable.

Within 15 minutes of landing on the small island of Nantucket, my dear friend, and island local, took me to the precious Pumpkin Pond Farm to pick up our greens and veggies for our lunch. My friend is also enjoying (and thriving) on the raw food living diet. In fact, she and I "went raw" together in Mexico - but I'll save that for another posting.

As a newbie raw foodie and fanatic for organic farms, I was thrilled to walk the gardens with their knowledgeable staff to harvest our living food for the week.

Here's what we purchased:

The sweetest cucumbers I've ever tasted
Wild spinach
Calendula flowers
Just pick, ripe tomatoes
Chards of many colors
Lettuces of many kinds. Sorry,  I was so enthralled with the moment I did not write down the names
Green Beans
Parsley

The Garden - Green Gulch Farm - San Francisco Zen Center

I discovered this magical place on a Sunday morning. Luckily for me, that's when they have a little "farmer's" market after their lecture (around 11:30 - 12:30). I got to buy a huge bunch of kale from the garden I had just been admiring. I was so giddy, I proceeded to frolic barefoot in this flower garden. Soaking up the Sun's Vitamin D and the Earths energy made me feel like a kid again! I can't wait to go back for one of their retreats or Sunday lectures.
