and here it is again… š
Every so often I just get tired, tired of working, tired of cooking and cleaning, tired ofĀ the constant debatesĀ with the kids, tired of my responsibilities,
and tired of being so damn happy and positiveĀ all the time!
I amĀ just tired today, my body feelsĀ heavy and I haveĀ aches and pains andĀ my brain is not workingĀ to its usualĀ full capacity š
No Mother I was not drinking last night!Ā Iām tired of that too.
So I think Iāll just go to bed .
I usually āCount my BlessingsāĀ Ā but am too tired for that as well.
Tommorow is a new day!
Savoy Cabbage SlawĀ with Papaya & Pomegranate
Yield: 4 med sized servings or two really large ones (double recipe for a crowd)
organic produce is recommended
3 cups savoy cabbage, finely shredded
2 cups red cabbage, finely shredded
1 cup jicama, julienne sliced
1 cup papaya, julienne sliced
1 cup pomegranate seeds
1 cup raw macadamia nuts, either whole or roughly chopped
4 tbsp lime juice
finely grated zest of one half lime
3 tbsp cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, organic preferrably
1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
pinch sea salt
1 watermelon radish, julienne cut, optional as garnish
Method
Finely shred cabbages with a sharp knife or a food processor and toss together in large bowl.Ā Julienne (slice in thin slivers) the jicama and the papaya and set aside.Ā Combine lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, maple syrup and sea salt and wisk well to combine.Ā Toss cabbage with dressing, adding the jicama slivers,Ā then carefully folding in the papaya & the pomegranate seeds so as not to crush them.Ā Garnish with watermelon radish and macadamia nuts. Enjoy!
This is a wonderful recipe for a crowd as you can make an enormous bowl of it by doubling the recipe and it almost always gets eaten up.Ā I have had the left overs the next day when thereās been some, itās still tasty but itās not nearly as crunchee.Ā So remember, if you donāt think the whole lot will be consumed donāt toss it all with the dressing, just toss 1/2 and then toss more if needed.Ā Ā During the week, itās also handy toĀ have the cabbage & jicama shredded in the fridge as they keep well for a few days and then just add the papaya & pomegranate and the dressing which will also keep 2-3 days

Daughter #3 was heading for the tub and asked if we had any shave gel..
I said
” Ooops sorry honey, I bought wine instead of shave gel, use peanut butter”.
“OMG mother!”Ā Seriously?!
“Ya sorry honey, I bought wine instead”
“Nooooo,Ā I meant peanut butter , seriously mother?!”
” Your grandmother used to do this to me all the time,
Harvey’s BristolĀ CreamĀ instead of shave gel,
that’s when I learned about peanut butter shave gel,what can I say”
“OMG, mother!
Just try it!
Believe it or not, peanut butter makes a great shaving gel.
Just apply it like you would apply the gel, and shave as normal.
It works just as well and anyone that has bought a container of shaving gel will know, it is a hell of a lot cheaper.
The end result is a very smooth shave and, as a bonus, the oils in the peanut butter are very good for your skin,
so you don’t need to spend even more money on moisturizer for your legs or face!!!!
