Day 7 at Hippocrates

Saturday.

Easy, fun day. No lectures.

I enjoyed the following:


  • mineral pool
  • FAR Infrared Sauna
  • spent time outside in nature and enjoyed the beautiful wind today
  • took walks
  • had a delicious, light dinner (make your own wrap with collard greens)
  • ice-cream night


I don't have the recipe for the ice cream but it was delicious - I'm not supposed to have sugar while I'm here, so I had the nut version which I believe was made from walnuts with some organic maple flavor (Frontier brand). It was outstanding.

They also had a berry version which I understand was not sweet but still satisfying.

And the hands-down winner was the banana ice cream. It looked wonderful and those of my friends that had it, couldn't say enough about the creamy texture and the sweet taste.

New Name: The Elusive Introvert

"I want to live simply. I want to sit by the window when it rains and read books I'll never be tested on. I want to paint because I want to, not because I've got something to prove. I want to listen to my body; fall asleep when the moon is high and wake up slowly; with no place to rush off to. I want not to be governed by money or clocks or any of the artificial restraints that humanity imposes on itself. I just want to be, boundless and infinite."  Unknown** Hello! They say "start where you are" so here goes... Nearly seven years since I posted here. Time flies. And a lot  has happened since then. Mostly good, but also some lessons learned along the way.  This blog was formerly called "Alice's Wonderful Life" (sort of a play on words with the Alice in Wonderland thing - so original, sigh). It had bright background colors and chipper-sounding content for the most part. But that's not me. And things are not always wonderful. A...

Summertime Kale Salad with Kelp Noodles

I crave this salad!  The variations are limitless depending on what produce is seasonal and available. Today I had a small yellow summer squash, so I used it. Other times I might use cucumber, fresh peas (you could use frozen peas too - just rinse briefly under cold water to thaw), red pepper, tomatoes, fresh raw corn just off the cob.  Here's how I made it today. Summertime Kale Salad with Kelp Noodles For the Kelp Noodles: 1 package Kelp Noodles 1 lime OR 1/2 lemon To prepare Kelp Noodles:  rinse according to package directions and drain in colander.  The kelp noodles are long and kind of unruly to eat, so I use a clean pair of scissors (reserved for food use only) to cut them in to smaller, easy-to-manage pieces (2 inches or so).  Place the cut kelp noodles in a medium bowl and squeeze lime or lemon juice over the  noodles and toss to coat.  Set aside to marinate while you prepare the Kale Salad. For the Kale Salad: 2 bunches Lacinat...
