Amazing morning tea

Today I'm at 'Complete Urban Farmer' school at Ceres. We are learning about soil. I am completely amazed by how many parallels there are with soil nutrition and health and that of our own bodies - human biochemical, nutritional and physiological processes are so similiar to how soil works, and how soil works in relation to plants, the sun and atmosphere. I guess there are lots of people thinking and operating on this level but it's quite a revolution for me.
A woman in my class brought along an incredibly beautiful Orange and tangelo cake to share for morning tea. Organic, home grown, made with love and gentle consideration in a homely kitchen. An impressively yellow appearance due to the healthy eggs of her backyard bantums. It was something of an immense joy to eat something so eggy and buttery and soft and crumbly. it's texture was like that of a perfect loamy soil...I appreciated the treat.

Daikon green smoothie

these beautiful daikons were grown in the Ceres market garden. I love it when you buy vegetables and the greens are still attached.
I made up a big batch of green smoothie this morning and filled a few glass bottles for the rest of the day.

--
3/4 bunch daikon raddish greens (greens from 2 raddishs)
2 large stalks of celery
3 small pink lady apples
1 orange (peel removed)
juice of 1/2 a lime and 1/2 a lemon
5 cups of water
1 banana as an after thought to bring it together.

This was quite a thin smoothie, with more water than thickness, and a lot more fruit than I would normally have. I have noticed if you don't drink it right away the bitter flavour seems to intensify a little over the day and so adding more fruit helps this.

Ginger Jaffa smoothie

This is a very delicious and emotionally balancing smoothie

2 bananas and 2 oranges (whole but with skin cut off)
