Nice Buns!
Happy Tuesday to you all? Much going on in your week?
Good work on the veggie guessing from yesterday. Emily got it right! (Christine you got it half right and Sheri got the buckwheat correctamundo!)
This was a watermelon radish (an antique asian radish with a slight peppery taste the whiter it is)
And a golden beet. Cool eh?
So today was quite a full day of coconut opening again…as you can see, a lot of fun (and sometime frustration!)
To open up one of these babies (or 9!)
My reward!
Everyone knows I love my coconuts, and also the water. I made a video here and my Soul Sister (who I get to see on Saturday wahoo!) made one here on how to open them sometime ago. Mine is a little more labour intensive. We use a little different technique at school. One which involves me wearing quite a bit of the outer shell by the end opening a whole boxful!
We used some of the coconut meat to make these wrappers to use in a later recipe.
Then it was time for lunch.
Remember these burger buns we made yesterday?
They were ready from dehydration.
READY FOR MY TUMMY…
Portobello Burger (which clearly was bigger than my bun), with avocado spread, wilted spinach and pistachio pesto topped with heirloom tomato.
LUNCH! And it’s now dinner time and I am still full!
In the afternoon we prepped some Kim Chi ready to make tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
PS we are going on a field trip this week 
LOVE this… I was to come eat and play in Oklahoma!!
Amazing!!:)
COME! I’ll be here for another 3 weeks
I’m hungry just looking at all that stuff!!!
Wow, what wonderful days at school – coconuts galore, fun new ingredients to play with, amazing food to eat!
Lunch looked fabulous!!!
I can’t believe you’re there for another three weeks! You must be loving it!!! I want a watermelon radish! What a pretty ingredient!
That’s my favorite thing about my new job traveling, getting to try the new foods!
Have a great day sweetie!
Erin
We so have to chat about your new job!
Love following you along on your journey girl!! You are too funny!
I love coconut water!!
Please tell me more about Portobello’s – they are very good for you?
XXOO
Good idea – re the portobellos! I’ll get some more info for ya!
I have never had coconut water! Eeeek!
Do you like coconut? I am totally cracking a coconut for you when I get home!
OH that “burger” looks fantastic. MMMM.
Lunch looks great! And love golden beets! Esp juiced.
And coocoonuts (my term of endearment for the lovely drupe)? Now you’re speaking my language! Just had a glass of fresh coocoonut water, ahhh, so refreshing and yummy!
Wow I’ll have to give them a try juicing them! All these fruit and veg I am being spoiled with that I won’t get in Saudi
Now I need to track down some golden beets!
What an awesome lunch, so lucky!
Oh, memories! I remember my dad used to buy coconuts (old ones, not these young ones) occasionally when I was young, and my favourite part was always the coconut water. I bet coconut water from a young fresh coconut would be incomparable, though… especially when had in conjunction with that amazing-looking burger. Sigh!
That coconut opening play-by-play is the best!
