Medicinal cookery

I was working in north london on sunday and somehow got talking to Dale Pinnock, a chef/nutritionist/herbalist! We had met before n spoken because he recognised me but I had no idea of his status! O_o

Anyways he was promoting his new book 'Medicinal Cookery' and made some yummy stuff from his recipes on the day! The guy was so laid back and nice and we really got along which was refreshing because he was very humble like me!! I got a signed copy of his book that day and I've been reading it religiously..like even on the tube lol!! Its really good!


Today I'm actually trying out his flu fighting soup! Jus waiting for it to cook now!! :D my room mates sick n had a fever aswell so I'm sure she wud get super better with this soup! I would encourage anyone to get a copy of his book coz u just don't understand how important the types of food that can save u from a lifetime of health disorders...trust me, its not even a diet book! So educational! :D. I got the book as a gift so I have to make good use of it. But yea guys...watch this space for Dale Pinnock! He's the next Gillian Mckeith!! :D

Saturday

Thought of the day..Vitamin D and love! :D

Hey ya'll... i know alota people have gotten used to me writing something everyday..and judging from the recent feedback i've been getting...i am pleased that alot of people enjoy my random rants a few times a day.. :D

And i know i haven't been blogging much at all..i know i don't have to post something everyday but i did get accustomed to it and i also enjoyed it.. but on another note...i am going to have abit of a blogging pause this week... please don't get concerned or anything, i am oki :) i just to spend some time focusing on other aspects of my life..everyone needs a balance right??

I do try to be as good of an influence to others as i am on myself...and i know i'm not perfect or anything...i mess up too..and i am always trying to better myself and not let yesterday ruin today...

my health hasn't been at its best...silly coz i should be taking medicine and suppliments my company gives me...but to be honest, i have not been looking after myself very well...it's like i know what i have to do to get well but im just not strong enough to do it.... a saying i recently been saying to myself..


You need to lose yourself.. to find yourself again...


And on another note...some great advice from my love, as we don't get enough sun in this country..it can really affect your mood...the majority of us are Vitamin D deficient and natural sunlight shud normally make u feel happy because it feed us vitamin D when it touches our skin... alot of us feel abit under the weather sometimes because od SAD..no i don't mean ur sad... Seasonal Affective Disorder... make sure u get at least 2,500iu's-5000iu's of vitamin D in u everyday..and you're sure to start feeling better again...i'll go in on this one with u guys...this one i'ma go out n purchase and do it myself..i promise :)


I will be back soon!! sending love and light to everyone x

Monday

Clumsy ol me!!!

I have an awesome friend who sent me a sample of this green tea called Do Matcha to try because she said it's amazing and people r goin crazy over it...soooo i thought i feel like tryin sumfin new right now...lemme see how good this bad boi really is!! ok..so that lil container in the pic...retails for £25.99!! OMGGG right?!!!  So lemme tell you why this tea is all the hype...

DoMatcha is a japanese green tea originating from Kyoto Japan that has amazing health benefit..the royals, zen monks n the samurai's all drank it apparently... It is basically the the youngest 3 leaves on the tops of the tea plants grounded to a veryyy fine powder..and i mean veryy fine..u'll know why later!! So coz its the whole leaf you're drinking, u get the benifits of better energy levels, antioxidants, makes u feel relaxed..boosts your metabolism by up to 40% if u drink it regularly..detoxes and overall..is 137 times more potent than regular steeped green tea.. pretty big claims they makin huh?? i do love my green tea so here goes..

She sent me a bamboo whisk and a stand for it aswell to make the tea the way its made traditionally...

So i wanted the proper version...i got my bamboo design mug out too hehe!! n i followed the recipe..

 So i had to whisk it up ..n like the bamboo curled out compared to when it was dry O_o i know that not interesting but ima loser so it does to me... :p
 I tried to make the green tea latte by adding some soya milk...i have to say...it wasn't half bad...it was actually really nice... but uno what..like an IDIOTT!! i had to go n split the whole pot all over the floor... O_O i noooooooo!! what a wasteeee!!!
I know i didn't pay for it but stilll...it went all over the floor, my slippers..my panda pj's ANDDD my abercrombie hoody!!! :'(  How clumbsy can i get huh?? i'm left with just abit under half a pot of that tea now...hmmmm... not the end of the world...everythings on quick wash mode...i hope it didn't stain!! >_<'

Still i enjoyed the tea...jus gna make sure i close that mofo properly next time..and hustle me another sample :p
goodnight pplz x
