korean middle school cafeteria winter-styles day 16

before breakfast, i couldn't help myself but eat ALL of the treats mipa gave me yesterday. ok, darren had ONE but still. these were like a less sweet, softer chewy lara bar: persimmon taste instead of date and almonds and 2 other kinds of nuts. how did i forget already? i'm so grateful for these. i have to detox from sugar right now. yesterday was insane. and i want to feel normal again! thank you so much, mipa for these little orbs of delight!

the last of my almond milk today :( but what a way to go! i soaked the chia cereal in it, sliced up 2 bananas and sprinkled cacao nibs on top. this is HEAVEN. totally doing this when i get home too. well, if i can get away from my blender in the morning. i can't WAIT to make smoothies again!

there were cherry tomatoes this morning so i added them with some sundried tomatoes to the *roasted* seaweed atop of the iceberg lettuce salad.

 lunch... not raw but wow... options! baked squash? just had some at loving hut last night. i LOVE it so much!!! and then a spicy leaf and onion thing that was vegan. yippee! and perhaps the end of my brown rice?

 dinner was sad... even for the meat-eaters. i put some dulse and sun-dried toms and apple cider vinegar on top of the salad. and then ate a (non-raw!) clif bar. and then tried some freeze dried rambutan (very strange and doesn't taste natural at all except the smell is the same) and some chickpea miso soup.

breakfast... this *roasted* seaweed is becoming a habit! sliced bananas on my plain chia/hemp/buckwheat cereal is lovely! and an orange! YAY!

 banana i saved from breakfast and oh goodness am i grateful for the sprouted almond croutons i brought (from organic lives)... this lunch would have been soooo sad without them!

 and wow, dinner would have been so sad as well! i'm going to make some chickpea miso soup for myself now... 

korean middle school cafeteria winter-styles day 1

so i'm back teaching at a camp in korea... i changed up my food suitcase a bit this time around but once again, i really only eat the iceberg lettuce salad from the cafeteria (if it hasn't been tainted by seafood, meat or dairy additives).
my first full day at the camp included meals such as a go raw real live flax bar for breakfast, then lunch i did in the cafeteria...

 i finally got to try the "almond rosemary rawgles" i've been anxious to try... picked up a whole bunch of stuff from home grown living foods at buddha-full. excitement! lots of fun stuff made in lake cowichan and they have a buddha in their logo so it matches buddha-full. anyways... i wished these to be chewy and they're not, but they are softer and thicker than typical raw crackers so it was a nice change. smeared some coconut oil on em (they shattered in my lugggage) and it was great fun! had the cukes and carrots and salad from the cafeteria plain and then some oranges too! yahoo!

it was pizza night to celebrate new years eve so the teachers had that to look forward to after dinner in the cafeteria. the salad that i count on to be there was mayonaise atop fruit so it was a major letdown. but hurrah for the sprouted chickpea miso i bought at organic lives! added some kombu which kind of reminded me of 'el dante' pasta and it was quite nice!
