Okay, I had three beets and a yam and sweet potato in the fridge. I diced them up, melted a couple of tablespoons of coconut oil, added a heaping teaspoon of crushed garlic, some kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Stirred them all together and then roasted it all at 425 for 45 minutes with a stir at 20 minutes. The beets are nice and firm with crisp edges. The sweet potato and yam have the same crusty edges, but are creamy on the inside. Amazing texture. I like them in coconut oil better than in olive oil!
I also mixed up a fresh batch of my facial cleanser. I tripled the batch this time. I'm considering using it instead of my shower gel. That with my loofah and I wouldn't need my moisturizers either.
I made my foray to Alameda Natural Grocery today. I just love that store! They were out of raw milk so I tried Strauss Organic milk. It may not be raw, but it is un-homogenized. I love shaking the bottle to mix in the cream. I also got some quinoa. I've been reading how tasty it is and gluten free. I'm looking forward to trying it.
Something I've noticed about the grocery store: organic food shoppers are more polite and generally happier in the store than at a regular grocery. I have yet to run into a rude person at ANG. Everyone in the check out line is polite and they talk to me. It's almost creepy. So very 1955. And the drivers in the parking lot are patient. Maybe it's just that I am happier shopping there. Hm. I'll keep you posted on this.
