Today...pretty much the same. Am home again and had muesli for breakfast, rice with cooked veg and chicken for lunch (that's it now) and will have a big salad for dinner. No wine left so can't be tempted there.
Still looking into appliances to allow me to be so much more creative with the raw cooking.

Day 27
So again, that was yesterday.
Muesli with oat milk and chia for breakfast.
Brown rice with the veg and bit of chicken for lunch
And was over at my BF for dinner and had chicken curry with white rice and made myself a GREEN salad too. And 1 glass of white wine.
Not brilliant but ey.. Soon better.

Day 26
No wine yesterday. I was good. Had green tea instead.
This morning had a late BF of muesli with oat milk.
Forgot to eat my banana.
Had lunch of courgette spaghetti with pesto and rest of brown rice.
Banana for desert.
And tonight I just CANNOT face a cold salad with no carbs or protein.. nothing "consistent".. so I've just crumbled. It will be boiled veg in coconut milk, brown rice and CHICKEN with curry. And I'm HUNGRY.
Eating raw without blender, food processor, coffee grinder and dehydrator is NOT easy... I will have to see how I'm gonna avoid going all the way back, as that's NOT what I want. Might get myself a dehydrator for 65€ and a blender for another 65, but to be honest, don't have the money right now!.. So we'll see.
I'm gonna enjoy my sins tonight though, hehe!! WITH some red wine!! While I'm at it, I might as well!

Day 25
Spent almost the WHOLE day yesterday looking into blenders, food processors etc.. I feel s stuck without them! And the dehydrator...and coffee grinder... It's a lot, but to have some fun in the kitchen and get away from the salads, I feel I'm gonna really need them...
Anyway, I don't have them so I'm slipping a bit..
This morning had muesli with chia seeds and oat milk with 1 banana.
Then later 1 banana.
Lunch big salad.
Dinner big salad with wild greens and some toasted brown rice with onion and garlic.
No wine :)
But tonight I'm out, at my BF's so.. not sure what will happen.
We made peace so from now on things will change probably...Luckily he knows my passion for "green" salads, so it shouldn't be too hard.

Day 24
My spaghetti yesterday were awful, far too acidic.
I feel so stuck without a blender.. no inspiration for cooking. My "bread" is kinda rotting away upstairs as it's not very sunny. What a waste of food!!
So I'm desperately looking for some cheap appliances, as it's making me look for other food!
Anyway, it's 11 now and i'm just having my "breakfast", muesli with loads of things in it, chia seeds etc. That should keep me going..
Late lunch was mixed salad with lots of wilds and a bit of brown rice toasted with onions.
Dinner was some very ripe "sapo" melon, delicious!! And yes, I had another glass of wine.. :(

Day 23
That's today..
It seems I'm on the mend.
I didn't cough at all last night, but started again this morning, though much less..
Just made myself a late breakfast of 1 mango, 2 bananas and 1 kiwi. that'll be a brunch then, as I don't think I'll be hungry again after that, at least for a while. I might make some spaghetti alla putanesca for tonight. If I fancy the idea later on.
What a strange food diary this makes, hehe. But I feel GREAT, better than in a long long time (apart from the "cold"!)
16.00... and i've plunged. That little devil in me has pulled his strings and I fell... after more than 1 month..
I started cooking my spaghetti alla putanesca, as well as I can with half the ingredients, then went for some oil, saw the prawn crackers (I know... I should have thrown them!) and even worse... the bottle of "gweek" wine! (one of my pupils struggled with that "greek wine" for quite a while, so it's kinda funny to think I'm drinking Greek Wine, hehe).
Anyway.. here I am, 1 bag of prawn crackers and 1/2 bottle of Greek wine later.
BAD GIRL!
But it's nice....
Tonight spaghetti (YES! raw...)

Day 22
That's yesterday..
No-voice day. Absolutely couldn't speak.
Drank a lot and bought some cough sirup, because my groins are aching from all the coughing!
Anyway, because I felt so rubbish, I wasn't hungry at all during the day, but in the evening I really started to feel it, and started craving some carbs. So firstly I ate some flax crackers (that were really NOT nice, I need to work on that recipe!) with some hummus I still had. And then I decide this was such an occasion, and cooked some brown rice, which I had with gomasio and a salad.
I HAVE to look into these apparatus, coffee grinder, blender, smoothiemaker, food processor..as without a blender I'm very stuck! But money is so tight right now...

Day 21
Still feeling bad, worse than yesterday. Insisted on doing my lessons, as I badly NEED the money, but shouldn't have. This afternoon even my voice went.
So shitty day altogether.
Haven't eaten today, as I wanted to give my body a rest.
Had lemon water and honey this morning, water throughout the day, and 1 lovely ripe mango and more lemon with honey and tea tree oil tonight.
Still no blender nor smoothie maker .. so am a bit stuck, cooking-wise..
Will see how I feel tomorrow, otherwise I'll stick to fruit...
Illness, go away!

Day 20
and still going strong.
Today I'm going to try the bread, as my attempt tastes quite horrible, normal bread dried in the sun... I thought it would be different! :S
I'm having quite a bad "cold" at the moment, which totally surprised me, as I don't usually get them. It feels like sinusitis and throat infection. I imagine it must be a cleansing process... my body having a spring clean..
Not a nice feeling though. runny nose and THICK head and sickness on top... Only hope it doesn't last too long.
Anyway, for breakfast I made myself a lovely smoothie: 1 banana, 1/2 mango, 5 grapes and some wild greens. And will have the rest as a snack later.
Shit!! Broke the blender this morning, trying to make the bread. And also found out that I didn't have any flax meal!! Sht!
Lunch: again a big salad with seeds etc
Dinner, am feeling like shit, so just had 2 chirimoyas. and am off to bed soon. I really hope this is a cleanup due to the new diet..and that it will go soon...

Day19
This morning I had porridge with 1 banana.
Training at 14h was hard and I felt quite faint. I'm quite sure though that I would have felt the same if not worse wit normal food.
For lunch I made myself a salad with:
onion, rest of coleslaw, red and green peppers, iceberg salad, lollo rosso and green, avocado, rocket sprouts, wild greens (5 different ones: wild clover, wild dandelion, wild rocket, purple flower, malve), cherry tomatoes, ginger, mushrooms and mix of ground seeds with goji berries.
LOVELY! Love the cumin in the background and all the different tastes that explode, as I kept the dressing down (olive oil, salt and bit of apple vinegar).
If that's not complete I don't know.
I have a problem, as my PT has asked me for a list of the food I'm eating all week.. I guess I'll have to cheat and put lots of "protein" on my list, because I REALLY don't fancy talking about it, and less to people who don't have a clue about nutrition beyond the old fashioned bit they've learned in school.
Their patronizing irritates me. I guess I'm just not "confident" enough on the outside to tell them politely to FO. Thing is I always ask myself, why do they think they have any rights to tell ME what to do??
Anyway...
I'm happy cos I found James' bread recipe. Can't wait for these clouds to go to try it out. I guess that'll be Wednesday.. hopefully.
For dinner I had some salad and a bit of the tart Laura and I made.

Day 18
this morning we had porridge with banana and almond milk. Laura loved it.
Then we made an apple cream tart and for lunch we had a green smoothie of mango, kiwi and grapes with wild greens, and Laura had an extra apple.
I also made an apple cream for desert for later today.
Yummy!!!
Tonight we had coleslaw with grated carrots, with hummus and cherry tomatoes. Laura had an egg as well...
For desert: apple tart!

Day 17
Saturday.
Laura with me and I'm going to try to give her only yummy raw foods. See how it goes.
Breakfast: banana smoothie and later a green smoothie which I passed through a siff to take out the bits of greens. She loved both.
We made some banana cookies and 2 breads. 1 sourdough and one with a leftover of some bread preparation (probably contains a bit of yeast).
They should be rising now, will make them into patties later to sundry them.
Lunch: courgette and pumpkin, pepper and basil salad with marinara sauce.
A shame for the onion... Laura DID taste it's sharpness so didn't want it. I'll have to vary on that.
Desert: chokolate pudding (avocado, banana, carob, easy peasy!!!)
Who says raw is difficult???
For dinner I repeated the courgette and made a new marinara sauce for laura. Must say am getting fed up with courgette so will definitely have to look into some variation.

Day 16
Late again.
Breakfast was a disaster as my yummy porridge had gone sour.... why?? No idea, so I made myself a quick smoothie with mango, grapes and green. Delicious.
Lunch some spaghetti, didn't like it, but must say no sauce.. too much in a hurry. I MUST look into some satisfying recipes.
Evening, as I had Laura here (for the whole weekend)she had some raw veggies and a fried egg, and I had a big salad. Then made a banana smoothie, which she loves.
Tomorrow we have a cooking day!! I really feel like inventing!
