Raw Lasagnes

Playing in the Raw  Food Class a month or two ago, I decided to share the techniques I had learnt in making a Raw Lasagne. It was a fun class & thanks to Teresa in capturing the finished product on camera below.
 I have since been reflecting on Lasagne and the many different layers that make up the delicious combination of ultimate flavours; if any layer is not complementing the others, then the end result is no longer flavorsome to the palete.
Food For Thought:
 I can see that this analogy is like the many layers that form part of our soul ! When any  layer of our many aspects of personality, actions, passion or desire is emotionally out of harmony with God's Laws ( like unresolved anger, fear, grief or unloving behaviour as the example)  it has a profound effect on our soul & our ability to directly connect to God. The layers of our soul need to ultimately reflect that harmony in all aspects, just as the layers of the Raw Lasagne must reflect that harmony to achieve the ultimate flavour!
 Fun, eh?

  
Raw Lasagne I made in one of the Raw Food Classes.



Raw Lasagne for worms and other living organisms


Hay layer of raw lasagne for worms
The 'layers' of raw lasagne for worms - manure, mouldy hay,
cardboard, newspaper, wood chips, food scraps
(not too much citrus or acidic foods in concentrated
'farms' worms don't like it much) grass clippings -
delicious for worms, insects and other organisms.
 The layers need to be kept moist & a comfortable temperature.

Adding the finishing touches to the raw
lasagne for worms.
Leave to marinate and worms to eat as
desired. Add more layers as needed.

Once again, if the mix is too dry or too wet it becomes unpalatable  for the worms to live & multiply happily. The layers need to be made with a love for the worms & the desire to make their home as comfortable as possible. We are once again looking towards achieving that harmonious environment for them that is a natural part of God's Kingdom.
Thank You Eloisa for supplying these photos of one of our Environment days..... Lasagne for Worms!!

Shazzie's Toothpaste

This month's recipe is certainly a little different, but I thought some of you may like to try it. It is not a food recipe although it is safe enough to eat, but a recipe we can use on our precious teeth. It is easy to make & will last a long time.
The Recipe originated from Shazzie who has a Raw Food Store in the UK and who also authored Naked Chocolate with David Wolfe. Thank You, Shazzie.
It will make your teeth white over time & keep them smooth; it can be flavoured with whatever organic essential oil you choose to use.

2 teas coconut oil
2 teas sodium bicarbonate
6 drops peppermint essential oil
(Optional) Add 2 teas Xylitol which is a sweetener

Opportunity to Cater another Community Event

Hello Everyone,
I have been asked to cater Dinner for another Community Landcare Event to be held at Kyabra on the 15th November. This gives me a wonderful opportunity to create a mouth watering meal for "Not Sure How Many" to indulge in, as part of a gathering here at Kyabra to measure, record & access night life & creature activity on the property after dark. With so many Environmental Projects already underway on the property, this will give us a benchmark of night time Australian wildlife recordings for this property to use in the years ahead.Everyone is welcome to attend.
I am still oohing & ahhing over what limitless possibilities I have in my repertoire as a delicious menu for such an event........with snow falling outside to-day & it's October, surely we will be thinking Summer by then !.....but who truly knows, what fun though in the unknown?
I am looking forward to catching up with some of you on Sunday for a Mediterranean Bonanza in our monthly Raw Food Class, the proposed menu will surprise & delight with lots of tastings.
Anyone wishing to assist me in the Catering of the Landcare Event can contact me at susan@kyabra.com
