Here I am with yet another relapse from the flu I caught while in Belize. I don't know what to call this virulent bug, because people are fighting the flu all over California. So I guess it is an international flu. I am planning on running my first 10k on May 4th. So I began my training program a couple of weeks ago. I was loving running, but apparently my body was not ready for any extra expenditure of energy. I don't believe that any of the natural medicinals I have been ingesting have shortened this illness. Really, I have tried garlic, olive leaf, golden seal, pomegranate powder, MSM, chest rubs with essential oils and more. So here I lay on the couch with an agreement to my friends and family that I won't resume my running program until I have been symptom free for 1-2 weeks. That probably will not happen. I really will try to stay down. But if I feel at all healed by next Thursday that is when I will be running along San Francisco Bay to The Warming Hut.<br />
<br />
So what have I been eating? Yesterday, right after acupuncture and before sleeping a good thirteen hours, my loving husband prepared paparadelle with butter, gouda, fresh goat cheese and horseradish cheddar. That combination must be soporific, because as soon as my empty bowl hit the coffee table I passed out for the night.<br />
<br />
Today, the menu consists of arugula with lemon zest, lemon juice and olive oil with sauteéd shitakes, lots of water and matcha lattes. ( I am so happy that I washed all my greens ahead of time when I received my <a href="http://www.mariquita.com/Farmers%20Market/ThursdayNight.html" target="_blank">Mystery Box</a>, last thursday. Otherwise they would be rotting in the fridge as we speak. Yay for pre-planning and pre-washing) I am eating just enough to have food in my stomach to support the Chinese herbs which I hope will knock out this bug once and for all. Tonight I will have bone broth with brown rice, unless my appetite returns to normal.<br />
<br />
For now, I am copying recipes from my overdue library copy of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Canal-House-Cooks-Every-Day/dp/1449421474/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1362172420&sr=1-1&keywords=canal+house+cooks+every+day" target="_blank">Canal House Cooks Everyday</a>. I am loving this simple vegetable centric seasonal cookbook. I hope to prepare many of the recipes that will today be added to my handwritten collection.<br />

Here we are in Belize before the flu kept us from leaving the house for a week. Little did I know that I would still be carrying this virus days after returning to SF. I have had a resurgence of the aches, cough and runny nose. One difference is that I have a full arsenal of flu killers here at home. Golden seal and chopped raw garlic killed off whatever amoebas had hitchhiked home in my tummy. A friend brought me a king-size pack of oscillococcinum from France which I am ingesting every six hours along with <a href="http://kevita.com/" target="_blank">kevita</a> probiotic drink, chopped liver, fermented cod liver oil, vitamin C, green & white tea and gallons of water with lemon oil. Take that you flu bug! <br />
For lunch I prepared papperadele with cream cheese artichoke pesto and chopped liver. A side order of soup brought to me by a friend and bone broth that bubbled for six hours yesterday. I will also have a bowl of pineapple but it will not be nearly as sweet or intense as the Belizian pineapple.<br />

Today she was back in action and cooking up a storm, making vegetable and Hawaiian pizzas, yogurt cake and granola, as well as, pasteurizing two gallons of fresh milk. Other than a quick trip to the market we had a home day. <br />
<br />
The rain came down so hard today that one could barely hear anything or anyone else. It rained most of the afternoon. The temperature is cool 62 degrees. I am wearing long sleeves.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow we will venture outside and visit the health food store in Spanish lookout, the Mennonite area. I hope to get some sun as well. <br />
<br />
Please excuse the third world tissues visible on the dining table. <br />

You can see here below pictures of our wonderful breakfast at paradise restaurant. <br />
Berto and Galen both had the lobster omelette. Amanda and I split tropical French toast and banana pancakes. The French toast came with a beautifully arranged bowl of papaya, cantaloupe , pineapple ( my fav) and watermelon. Yum. The butter is grass fed from New Zealand and the coffee was very good. Galen had fry jacks too. They are deep fried tortillas.<br />
<br />
Amanda and her dad are now snorkeling. <br />
<br />
Lunch was from the budgetman. He sets up on the edge of the beach. I had coconut rice, rice and beans, veggies ( potatoes, plantain with a tiny bit of green pepper. The potatoes were extremely flavorful) and jerk conch with one slice of fried plantain. All for $7. And there was plenty to share. <br />
<br />
Calmness is the order of the day here, as it is too awfully hot to get excited at all. I am resting and just dozing or staring off into the distance. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrLc0jABI05SSV4Ci-9BUOwoe0OUrMECWw7B7GW5KOX9KNX9DWz3GtylDHu0eJQ5ccwqbOf-RRPiVWpWEgGQvFwMxHBQjkUX6szK8U8lD9xVD4wqk9SN1VHa9N1HqVH0tpQxBvBv0xArEU/s640/blogger-image-1281207135.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

The 45 minute ride was beautiful. I have never seen water the color of the Caribbean Sea. It is truly the color called aqua that we all know. <br />
Here is the view from our place. The view is lovely and the breezes are so cooling that one would hardly know how hot standing in the sun can be. A & G will arrive around six and we will hopefully find an affordable and tasty dinner. The prices here are sky high. Our first meal was so expensive and awful tasting. We will look into snorkeling for tomorrow. B is taking a well deserved nap as I learn how to upload pictures to this blog from his ipad. ( a steep learning curve)<br />
Last night after the wonderful assembly program we went to B's for a true home cooked Mexican dinner of posole. The broth was fantastic and I can't wait to duplicate it at home.<br />
<br />
We hope to relax here and enjoy the sun and water. I may even try some rum. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ07IfGcspIgA7t0JcsiJNECxYlI6OjqILjp_ZAMjnQpB_BHlR37UBMlDYh6Ok0M1DJUUL0mV7eTgqfPlA-2CEcgqKXE-27q7UcofbehUzhFSbgBmA28pBSmecay8SrCdjhQiHUTHsa77M/s640/blogger-image--1548612454.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ07IfGcspIgA7t0JcsiJNECxYlI6OjqILjp_ZAMjnQpB_BHlR37UBMlDYh6Ok0M1DJUUL0mV7eTgqfPlA-2CEcgqKXE-27q7UcofbehUzhFSbgBmA28pBSmecay8SrCdjhQiHUTHsa77M/s640/blogger-image--1548612454.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjZ4TRdnw7OhQ208_r9ZJMYvoxcNjdsVIzqryFxztXl0jX0ZsT4qfMHesA0S6X1oJzPL4E6ikHnyDWlFrnANMWOVzOMwi2PlX3ULWVzso_UMPSRW-8_3iGS_euMaOZrYH4IwLZrLY_sonP/s640/blogger-image--718038940.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjZ4TRdnw7OhQ208_r9ZJMYvoxcNjdsVIzqryFxztXl0jX0ZsT4qfMHesA0S6X1oJzPL4E6ikHnyDWlFrnANMWOVzOMwi2PlX3ULWVzso_UMPSRW-8_3iGS_euMaOZrYH4IwLZrLY_sonP/s640/blogger-image--718038940.jpg" /></a></div>Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15123566719269632540noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8036873200636101885.post-62711032575716606212013-01-11T18:31:00.001-08:002013-01-11T18:31:40.014-08:00Hot & Humid.....I mean my trip to BelizeWe touched down in Belize City Tuesday Jan 8 at noon after a very sleepless flight. Getting through customs with our six suitcases proved to be uneventful and I caught sight of my special girl as I exited the terminal. The weather was not too hot or steamy when we first arrived, thankfully. It has not remained so. Tuesday afternoon/ evening we unpacked all the goodies I brought to make A's life a bit more pleasant and familiar. Maple syrup brought a shout of glee, as did the light fixtures from IKEA.<br />
Wednesday was an at home day, puttering and organizing.<br />
Thursday we went to the Belize zoo. A beautiful jungle style zoo with natural looking habitat areas as opposed to cages. We saw toucans and several different jaguars some of which I was able to shoot short videos of, which I will post when I am able. I enjoyed the zoo and the weather was not too uncomfortable, although I did borrow the chinese fan A keeps in her purse.<br />
We gave an English couple a ride back to San Ignacio from the zoo. Picked G up and headed off to the mayan ruins. An Italian couple prepared a multi course Italian meal for us. Their home felt as if we had stepped out of belize into Italy. The food was tasty, varied and oh so comforting. The olive oil was from their family's olive grove. the limoncello homemade and the espresso was from their Italian machine. Bellisimo!<br />
<br />
Today (friday) was HOT HOT HOT. Berto and I walked to the center of town, bought some apple bananas and star fruit and went back to hide in the coolness of A's house. As showers can be the high point of the day here, several times a day in fact, I showered and took a nap. We ate El Salvadorian food for dinner. Early to bed as we leave before 7am for the assembly tomorrow.<br />

In my Mariquita Farm Mystery this week I received two huge bunches of chervil. In years past I have prepared <a href="http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2010/03/chervil-mayonnaise-recipe-herb/" target="_blank">David Leibovitz's egg-less mayonnaise</a> but, sadly the rest of the chervil ended up in the compost. This year I am determined to make good use of all of my lovely and rare chervil. <br />
Chervil usually appears but once a year in the mystery boxes, so if I'm not motivated to cook with it I'll have to wait until next year to enjoy chervil's spicy greenness. <br />
Hunger combined with laziness can often produce great recipes. I entered my kitchen with a tummy that needed to be filled but not much energy to cook. What I produced was tasty, filling and allowed me to use a substantial amount of chervil (YAY!).<br />
Here is the recipe:<br />
1 cup cooked brown basmati rice<br />
1/4 cup grated cotswold double gloucester with onions &chives (or cheddar cheese)<br />
1T olive oil<br />
1/3 cup washed and finely chopped chervil<br />
salt<br />
*Heat rice in bowl in microwave<br />
*add cheese, oil and chervil<br />
*salt to taste <br />
*eat, yum! <br />
<br />

This will be a short post as I am tired and the time is late. Or should I say early in the am. We are being hosted by a smashing British family. We were met at our arrival by being offered a tray prepared with English tea and homemade laduree macarons. We sat in a lovely, sunny English garden next to a koi pond with a waterfall. Does it get any better?
Our host drove us around kent, which is known as the garden spot of England. We saw fields of red poppies, old churches and ate fish and chips at a pub dating from the sixteenth century. Did queen Elizabeth I eat there?
We started our day today at the British museum for a Bible tour on the subject of Abraham and Sarah and their obedience.
We took the tube to ottolenghi. A fabulous restaurant.
We shopped a little. Found two brilliant dresses. Sampled aromatherapy oils at Neal's yard.
Went to harrod's where we pushed our way through the horrendous crowds to find the tea shop. We refreshed ourselves with a cup of jasmin pearl tea, served from a china teapot, into china cups.
We went to see the tower of London, tower bridge, Westminster abbey and parliament
We took the train back to Kent where we ate the best Indian food I have ever tasted.
London is a very big city with a lot to offer. It makes San Francisco seem very small.
My new favorite drink is elderflower tea or soda. I love it's refreshing taste.
Our friends knocked themselves out for us.
Good night.<br />

Our sister Clemence met us as we descended the train. Her husband Thomas drove the car that took us to their modern apartment in an eight story building covered with enlarged photos of flowers.
For lunch placed a raclette maker on the table, heated it. We were each served boiled baked potatoes. The raclette maker has trays into which we put slices of cheese ( choice of plain raclette, mustard or black pepper) the cheese melts into liquid which we pour over the waiting potatoes. Wow! It was amazing. Cornichons are served alongside. Clemence's mother brought individual trifles made with a gateau sable Breton on the bottom and raspberries a top. I love trifle as some of you know.
After this tasty meal we headed to centre ville ( downtown) on foot. We were privileged to have the sun shine on our walk. There is a saying in this part of France: northern French people have the sun inside their heart but it never shines outside. It sounds a lot better in French. We found this to be true when rain descended upon us as a cow pees (also a French saying) we got soaked as we entered and exited stores and metro stations.
We visited hermitage gantois which was a convent and is now a beautiful hotel.
We returned to the apartment for gouter ( afternoon snack) can you see why I love France? We're served cheese, macaroni, bread, saucisson made with cheese or hazelnuts, French spice cake and green tea. After gouter we left for the meeting, returning at 10:30 ( 22h30) at which point the sun had not yet set. The table was then set for dinner. Thomas made a mushroom omelet, accompanied by cheese bread, salad and flan chocolate moose.
More later about French traffic jams or better known as bouchons, fleury micron ham and les grottoes de NAot's and the perfect meal prepared for us Friday by clemence's mother.

Grenoble is a lovely place. Our host family has made us feel like part of their family. We have spent many hours sitting around the dining table talking, eating and getting to know one another. Yesterday we walked to the center or Grenoble in the light rain. We met Lucrez in front of galleries Lafayette and she toured us around the ancient Grenoble. Grenoble is surrounded by mountains and the ancient buildings are beautiful. Quite a few buildings are painted different colors. Many were built by Italians who came here to settle long ago. We walked along the quay of the isere river. Had I not been such a scary cat we could have taken a ride up to the Bastille situated high on a hill. The way to ride there is inside large plastic balls attached to cables, like a ski lift. Not for this girl, but I imagine the view to be spectacular. Maybe we will climb the hill by foot today.
After sharing a coffee ( a noisette) with us Lucrez left us to the rest of our rainy day. We gave in to the soldes and to monoprix shopping. I bought many French beauty products that I hope to be able to cram into my bulging suitcase. I left the house yesterday morning unprepared for the cool weather so to warm myself I purchased two sweaters in the children's department at monoprix. Lunch was at the brasserie des fleurs. I ate a lovely fish prepared with butter ( bien sur) and red peppers; rice and salad. Jeanne had a large salad with warm goat cheese and a glass of wine. Our young French brothers and sisters met us and took us to visit a gorgeous castle, once lived in by Napoleon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Château_de_Vizille
The gardens were manicured, one bed in the style of a knot garden, best viewed from a third story window. The garden contained trees manicured into triangles reminiscent of Versailles. We attempted the walk to an animal park at the end of a very long path surrounded by green fields and lined with tall trees, but our feet got the better of us and we returned to the car exhausted.
One funny thing happened to Jeanne. She can laugh about it now, but at the time it was frightening. French public toilets self sanitize after being used. Jeanne entered the toilet after I had used it, without having let the door close. The toilet assumed itself to be empty and began the sanitization cycle. The lights went out and water mixed with sanitizer began to flood the unit. Jeanne was inside! I figured out what was happening when a red light went on by the door, but before Jeanne started screaming and trying to open the, now self-locked door. We were helpless to get Jeanne out. I pulled on the door in vain. Eventually a soggy shoe-d Jeanne emerged. But this is not the end. When Jeanne stepped out she allowed the door to close again before she re- entered the toilet. I think you know what happened next. The toilet again started the self cleaning cycle. Poor Jeanne was again trapped inside, while we guiltily could not stop ourselves from laughing hysterically at her plight. The now traumatized Jeanne refused to go back and complete her business until two hours later. Poor Jeanne.
Today we will visit a local lake.
The most wonderful thing abut staying with a French family is that three times a day the dining table gets layer out with lots and lots of wonderful, excellent food.
For lunch today we had charentais melon, pineapple, bread, buratta cheese, a grenobloise salad of green beans, tuna, tomatoes in a homemade dressing, sprouted soy beans, the most flavorful salami, strawberries with lemon and tea or espresso for dessert.
I want to be French!!!
Tomorrow we will take a train at 4 am for Lille.
The weather report ( meteo) predicts rain for the rest of our vacation.

We are on the train (in first class thanks to Jeanne ) waiting to leave for Grenoble. We made our meeting this morning, late though, with only a small mishap requiring us to walk back and forth four times on the same four blocks ( Jeanne loved the extra walking at top speed ) before a very nice Parisian man helped us find our way.
Marjorie prepared us a "small meal" to prepare us for our train ride. We ate smoked salmon on bread with herbed crime fraiche, salad, red wine, cheese plate, pâté, olives, charentais melon and flavorful strawberries with chantilly (whipped creme)for dessert.
Yesterday we went to isle de la cite to walk around and have Bertillon ice cream. I had pear and rhubarb, Jeanne had chocolate noir and vanilla. The vanilla was amazing, and I loved my flavors. We are expecting nice weather today in Grenoble but tomorrow it is supposed to really heat up. ( yikes!)
Our Parisian hosts were excellent! There home was very welcoming and beautifully decorated. Marjorie cooked for us nonstop and they both could not have done anything more to make us feel welcome, like family. All meals were made from scratch( a term which has no French equivalent and which took a while to explain) and came in several courses. Yum. The cheeses which accompanied every meal were superb. We had several goat and cow varieties. Last night's dessert was tarte tatin ( actually the only pre made food item), it had the wonderful flavor of French butter. Our hosts own a nespresso machine and to jeanne's delight, espresso was available on demand. We had our lovely multi course meal last night beginning at 21h ( 10pm)
We spent a lot of time walking around the seine river area yesterday and toured the conciergerie ( principally known as the former prison for soon to be guillotined prisoners. We viewed
Marie Antoinette's upgraded cell. We also visited st. Chapelle with it's beautiful walls of stained glass. Only my pushy impatience kept us from needlessly waiting in a two hour line to get in. Sometimes impatience pays off!
We also did a bit of window shopping at BHV on rue rivoli. The soldes were very hard to resist, but our suitcases are already over full.
After the meeting today we went to a marche de puces ( flea market) and found bargain earrings. There was so much to tempt us that I was glad for our too full suitcases.
We are still not over our jet lag and we get waves of extreme fatigue. I hope to get a full night's sleep tonight and be cured by tomorrow when we are supposed to take our hike in the alps surrounding Grenoble.Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15123566719269632540noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8036873200636101885.post-88090570838491140762012-06-29T23:46:00.001-07:002012-06-29T23:46:58.757-07:00First day in France Ahh! I feel as though I'm already in France and we've only just boarded our air France plane. All the stewards and stewardesses are French and they speak to me in french. Upon each passenger's seat is a bag with a blanket, pillow and eye mask, amenities long given up by American owned airlines. A substantial amount of time was spent by the crew In loading food onto the plane before our boarding began. Each seat has its own screen, coat hanger and coffee cup holder. I await even greater pleasures on this flight. Vive la France!<br />
<br />
<br />
Saturday June 30<br />
Slept six hours last night. That is the most I have ever slept on the first day of jet lag. I awake today at 3:30am Paris time. My stomach is crying out for French food but I must wait for hours until stores open.<br />
Yesterday was quite an eventful day. My greatest adventure was riding on the back of a scooter. I have never ridden on any motorcycle before. I felt liberated and exhilarated while Marjorie wove between cars with me trying not to hug her too tightly. Jeanne and I had been lost trying to find their home, due to jet-lagged brain. After my first scooter ride we had a marvelous dinner at Foudre (lightening). We had fois gras, the best I have tasted so far, raw salmon, vegetables and salad. Jeanne had a Chinese chicken salad French style, Chardonnay. Dessert was a mixed chocolate mousse/pot de crime with whipped crime.<br />
Another fun experience was a drunk guy on the subway who was loudly explaining to the whole car about how he had had all his papers stolen but to his money and how much more the papers mattered than the money. He would give a description of each stop as to what the meaning of the name meant. For example he explained that, in relation to the Pere Lachaise station, Jim Morrison was buried there. He kept asking certain ones, including me, if they new who the doors were. I just nodded. He was so amusing it was hard for everyone to keep from laughing.<br />
Our loving hosts took us on a driving tour of Paris which was lovely, but jet-lag hit me hard and I had to cut the drive short to get sleep. <br />
That is our first day in Paris other than a few snags regarding a non working debit card and a French sim card that I cannot seem to be able to fill up with any more calling time.<br />
This morning our hosts had the makings of a lovely continental breakfast layer out for us in anticipation of our very early rising.<br />

I was very hungry while walking home from Fort Mason today. I composed this salad in my head as I walked. There may be a creative advantage induced by the movement of the body impelled by the need to be fed. The salad was delicious. I plan having it often. (The photo may be confusing but I was too hungry to photograph the salad before I ate it.My appologies)<br />

I am currently participating in a healthy detox which incorporates lots of superfoods. I never thought I would do any type of cleanse as I always eat very clean. However, I had a medical scare (it was a false alarm) and in the hysteria I signed up for <a href="http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/12/23/shes-coming-baaaaack-fab-uplift-detox-returns/">this program.</a> So far I am coffee and sugar free since monday, dairy free since tuesday, gluten free since wednesday , and soy, nightshade and peanut free today. Amazingly I have survived. I have been able to have good strong workouts, with only a veg smoothie in me, and I have to say I feel great! The picture above is what I ate for lunch today. It's zucchini avocado hummus with veggie dippers with homemade kale chips. The best treat on this undiet are these raw <a href="http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2009/06/18/if-a-superhero-had-balls/">superfood power balls</a>. They taste great and will supercharge you with energy, This cleanse removes a new food everyday for the next three days, tomorrow I lose beans and legumes. I have been worried about being lightheaded or weak, but just the opposite has been the case. Time will tell how I perform with only fruits and vegetables on my plate for two whole days, Monday and Tuesday specifically. Wednesday we begin re-introducing the foods we've given up.<br />
<br />
Yay for the cheese plate when I'm done.Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15123566719269632540noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8036873200636101885.post-82570807818646999682011-11-23T15:49:00.001-08:002011-11-23T16:01:04.359-08:00Photo Essay<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Still working hard in the kitchen. I have been drying red padron peppers along with my remaining tomatoes, and making my weekly batch of yogurt. I had two guest chefs from across the Atlantic. They prepared a wonderful lasagna.<br />

We ate almost all of the Fagioli All'Uccelletto from the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Zuni-Cafe-Cookbook-Compendium-Franciscos/dp/0393020436/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1316051469&sr=1-1">Zuni Cafe cookbook</a> before I took a picture. This recipe belied its fabulous flavor. This recipe explains why I always trust Judy Rodgers implicitly. No matter how simple her recipes look in the book I can count on the flavor being exquisite. This recipe made use of food I had in the house, so I chose it for the ease of staying home. It looks like a simple bean recipe but every bite was succulent and flavorful. Another of my favorites from this cookbook is the Artichokes Baked with Onions, Lemons, Black Olives and Mint. If you love great food buy, or borrow this cookbook and get cooking.</div>

Tomato season is upon me. I've been busy in the kitchen as evidenced by these photos. I've been oven roasting (advice: don't get involved in other projects while oven roasting at 400°. I ate the crispy ones, the very dark crispy ones.), dehydrating and saucing. I am on the dreaded candida diet so I am making muffins and bread that are yeast and refined flour free. The <a href="http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/cottage-cheese-muffins-recipe.html">muffin</a> and <a href="http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/sixseed-soda-bread-recipe.html">bread</a> recipes I baked come from 101cookbooks. Here are the results.<br />
