Just Humans Being...

Flea, much to Sime's disappointment, never really embraced the music genre associated with his namesake & although he often gets into scrapes & scraps... He's really a big softy, especially where music's concerned.  Here's some of his favourite tunes: He hopes you enjoy the videos as much as he does!

We've been juicing every day & are enjoying the benefits of raw food. Here's what we've been having so far... Pineapple, apple, celery, purple sprouting, orange, lemon  & basil. Beetroot, apples, clementines & turmeric. Carrots, apples, celery, cucumber, lemon & turmeric. Spinach, pineapple, apples, pak choi, cucumber, lemon, coriander & ginger. Spinach, celery, courgettes, cucumber, pineapple, apples & lemon. Wonderful stuff! We are eating pretty much the same every day - porridge for breakfast, then a juice with fruit & nuts for lunch & a cooked dinner each evening. We are feeling really good for it too! Kay & Sime  xx

We made this juice this morning & took it out packed in ice to have between jobs... It gave us a great energy boost! We used: 4 apples, 1/2 pineapple, half a lemon, 1 inch knob of ginger, half a cucumber, 4 sticks of celery & several leaves of pak choi. This made 1 litre of juice & it tasted like a zingy sherbet!

Have you seen this inspirational film? If you can't see the film above try this link:  Fat, Sick And Nearly Dead . We often go through phases of juicing & love them - the greener, the better!  This film is proof again that our food choices really do make a difference to our health. Now the weather is picking up - it's a good time to reboot, so we'll be dusting off the juicer & giving ourselves a spring clean. Watch this space for some our favourite juice recipes. Kay & Sime xx

Soup is a great way to use up leftover veggies from our veg box. And when we want to keep things simple - we stick it all in the oven to roast... Today's includes a whole squash, a bulb of garlic, carrots, leeks & ginger. We then blended it with 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika, a sprinkle of black pepper, a handful of fresh parsley & a dollop of  miso dissolved in a jug of hot water.  We then added a tin of butter beans & warmed it all through. Delicious! Kay & Sime xx

We visited Bebe this afternoon with Hugo. She very often talks about being a prisoner in the care home & wanting to get out, but of course - in reality, she wouldn't know where to go or what to do! The staff said she'd been in a good mood earlier, so this was just for our benefit. Kay & Sime xx
