WHERE TO START?

By

This was my excuse of actually NOT taking action and getting started. Like I haven’t posted in what seems like eons of time which looking at my last post date was eons. 

When I moved to NZ in May of 2016, I had visions of keeping the posts up to date, but the weather and getting settled were my excuses. I mean moving from one country to another is a ‘BIG’ upheaval in anyone’s book…right!!!

We all have different reasons for why we use excuses but when all is said and done…don’t beat yourself up about it…everything is done in divine timing and when the time is right then everything will fall into place.

Having returned to Australia in September of 2018, more uncertainty of where to live, not having a car, how could I apply for jobs when I didn’t have a car?

What I have learnt and you may have too, it didn’t really matter that I didn’t have a vehicle because if the time is right for you, it will come.

We all ask for things in different ways. I’d been asking for an economical car to show up, didn’t know how or where it was coming from but another learning curve was just get out of the way, stop trying to control the outcome and just let it be.

As it turned out, my friend had contacts and a great little manual car showed up for a great price now known as ‘Nellie’.

Yes, I’m one of those people who gives their car a name.

Apples, Carrots, Fennel, Ginger, Lemon & Turmeric Juice

By

Another great combination that comes out such a beautiful, vibrant orange colour.

Contrary to what I first believed about Turmeric NOT staining your juicer, I was wrong…it does!!!

Turmeric does have an acquired taste so you may like to start off with a small chunk.

I have been fortunate enough to have an abundance of home grown lemons so have been leaving the skin on but it’s up to you…skin on or skin off. You can try either way and see what you prefer.

I used:

  • 2 Apples
  • 3 medium Carrots
  • slice of Fennel (your choice for quantity)
  • Chunk of Ginger (your choice for quantity)
  • 1 small Lemon
  • Chunk of Turmeric

Depending on your juicer, you may need to cut up the Apples and Carrots to feed them through the chute.

Juice and enjoy.

Yield: approximately 200mls.

Ginger, Apples & Fennel Juice

By

 

Ginger, Apples and Fennel I have found to be quite a tasty combination.

Just play around with the amounts for what works for you as you may like less Fennel and more Ginger or the other way around.

If you aren’t used to using Ginger or Fennel, you can start off small and work your way up to larger amounts.

Although I have only two Apples in the photo, I did use three and definitely didn’t use this much Ginger. I do like Ginger but this amount would’ve blown my head off!!!

I used:

  • Chunk of Ginger
  • 3 Medium Apples
  • 1 Slice of Fennel (to your taste)

The yield for this was just over 200mls

You may need to slice up the Apples depending on your juicer.

 

Bigger Fridge

By

 

Well, here it is, my BIGGER fridge has arrived and this is just some of the produce starting to fill it up. How glorious it is to get back into the swing of things. It has been so inspiring to keep tabs on others’ ‘posts’ as not to let oneself fizzle out completely, so I give thanks to everyone for that. :))

Been awhile

By

 

 

Yes, it’s been awhile since my last post causing an intermission break. I have now completed my move from Australia to New Zealand and am just sorting a bigger fridge to get back onto juicing as small fridges, produce and juice just don’t fit. The above photo is how my fridge looked in Australia which was a 530 ltr  fridge and ever so Perfect for all of the produce but alas a 161 ltr fridge just doesn’t ‘cut it’.

Thanks everyone and looking forward to posting again real soon. :))

Out of routine

By

 

When I was in New Zealand, I was so out of my usual routine of going walking every morning but…..yes, here comes the ‘but’, it was soooo cold in the mornings, often frosty or foggy.

My nice warm bed was much more enticing.

Well… it happens!!!

I was making up for it in other ways because most places I stayed at, I just parked the car at my accommodation and walked everywhere.

The first time I walked from the road level up a very steep drive to the first level where the car was parked, I reckon it must have looked so funny.

Picture this… red faced, puffing, oh and had to stop and look at the view a few times just to catch my breath you know, haha!!!

By the time I’d gotten to the next level with steps, one of the residents wanted to chat. That was so funny, here I stood puffing, sweating and all he could say was, ‘that’s a really steep drive, isn’t it!’

After catching my breath, I headed up to my apartment with more steps.

From the carpark level to my apartment was 33 steps.
