Epic yet humble

In between performing, as a joker, jester, clown at woodford folk festival and sleeping I worked away on a raw cheesecake creation. I hitched into town for ingredients and soaked and ground everything in the mortar and pestle in Tash's kitchen. It took days, and there was a point when almost on the line of ready but it needed berries. It needed fresh fruity squish and so I hitched into town again especially to acquire the special finishing touch of raspberries and put in the fridge for the final setting. After performing and partying I arrived home at 2am to indulge in the pure delight of my raspberry cheesecake, it was so good, so what I needed on so many levels. And up to that point the complete highlight of my week.
Not only was it delicious but I could also feel it revitalizing my vital energy. Thankyou universe for this cake. I devoured so much of it and then the sensible and sharing part of me (luckily) stepped in and saved many tiny slices for all the wonderful people around me to try and delight in.

Found this super special tart in the freezer

I made this a couple of weeks ago but haven't foundan ocassion to eat it. It felt too special to eat alone. I cut it in half and took some over to Phoebe's house. I'm sure sure how well the agar jelly will defrost.

In celebration of heavy metal detox

My naturopath Heidi was telling me the other day that fresh coriander is a really potent heavy metals detoxifyer particulary when mixed with spiralina or chlorella. I have been having mango banana kale smoothies the last few days with coriander and spirilina but this morning I felt like something more celebratory for breakfast.
