look at that cheese

this week has been week one of my primal trial (eg no grains or legumes, otherwise business as usual).

kombucha! the thing at the forefront is a dried SCOBY to send to a friend. jars of jasmine green tea kombucha on the left, fresh citron oolong tea with sugar on the right, the SCOBY and a bit of leftover kombucha in the back, waiting for the fresh tea to cool.

and now, some older ones:

one bright day in December I was craving poutine in a bad way. We had leftover thick meat gravy from a roast, so I attempted making some GF poutine. It was okay. I don't like tapioca as a thickener or flour, I always taste it.

Christmas day, evening dessert. Roasted bananas with butter-chai sauce, then lit on fire with a little brandy, served with whipped cream. It was the best.

So yeah, primal trial, it's fun. I am going to buy plantain today for the first time ever. I bought Practical Paleo with a Christmas gift card and I am just eating it up!! Basically primal is like paleo but with dairy. So there you have it.
