It's been a rough week. But since this is my positive and uplifting space My Blissful Journey I won't vent here. Instead I will focus on a few things that made me smile yesterday.
A small local grocery store near here had pomegranates on sale for quick sale. They were VERY ripe but you could get 2 for 79 cents! I grabbed a duo of them and might try and go back to get more depending how the two I got look when I crack them open later today.
Parsnips! Parsnips are a food that I don't eat a lot of. Not because I don't like them - mostly because they aren't a big thing in my area and they don't keep many in stock at the stores. And when they do they aren't the cheapest thing. I don't really have many recipes and/or ideas in my creative arsenal for them either.
I branched out. Yesterday I grabbed two of them. They cost $3.71 for the two of them. I would like to do a raw vegan rice recipe with them soon!
One of the many things I am learning about at the moment are crystals and chakras! I ordered two of these cones and should get them tomorrow. The orange and the yellow. I'm thinking about getting the red, too, because of how I tested on a chakra test and daily life, habits, characteristics, and interests. I hope to put them on my desk at work and surround myself with more positive things. Another thing I am getting back into is Mandalas, too, and will be putting some of those in my office when I complete them.
I'm sorry it's been a rough week! You have a lot of self discipline to not vent! I love parsnips too, and I don't really eat them as often as I should. They're really good roasted too. Awesome deal on the pomegranates too! If they are good, I would totally get more!
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm just NOT venting HERE...I can't NOT vent completely! LOL :)
DeleteThat is a great deal for pomegranates!!! And hope things get better for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yesterday was better than the day before! I'm working on positive thinking and my own form of meditation. I will probably be sharing some in the near future here on my blog :)
DeleteWould you believe I've never had parsnips before?! Hope your week gets better too! You have a beautiful attitude!
ReplyDeleteHonestly...I've only had them a few times so I can totally believe that! There are other things I haven't ever tried and hope to some day! And now with all of the YouTube Channels I am seeing and all of their rare and tropical fruits I am so far behind the times with my fruit intake I am afraid! Thanks so much for the encouragement! It's so nice to have comments like these from blogging buddies!
DeleteWe have pomegranates, not my favourite fruit but I hear they're very good, rich in Vitamin C.
ReplyDeleteParsnips look like what we call white carrot, radish or daikon...but I went and googled - seems they are not exactly the same. I love radish - they say it has detoxifying effects, cleanses everything out of one's body system so if one is on medication, then one should avoid eating it.
I love radishes, too! Yes...parsnips are different from daikon and white carrots and radishes!
DeleteGreat finds and can't wait to see what you do with the parsnips! Sorry for the rough week!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the emails! They really HELPED!!!
DeleteHope this week is a better one. One of my favourite winter soups is parsnip and apple made with onion, garlic and fresh Rosemary.
ReplyDeleteI hope so, too! LOL :) The winter soup sounds wonderful, btw! Thanks for sharing!
DeleteI like parsnips, but they are only really available in the fall. Do you have the cookbook Veganomicon? There is a recipe in there that is a red lentil curry cauliflower with parsnip in it. Soooo good! I am curious to see what you do with them raw though =)
ReplyDeleteWould love to see pictures of some of your mandalas.
As I'm late catching up on blogs, here's hoping this week is better for you :)
I actually don't have that cookbook! Strange I know! LOL :)
DeleteI will be posting some Manadalas soon, too! Thanks so much!
